Hope so...all I want is to scratch his little ears. Not dumb enough to try though.
Language learned in the Royal Canadian Navy . Ours is now a long, bitter, beautiful struggle. Despise Nazis, MAGA, Maple MAGA, and all fascists. Fear is a reaction. Courage is a decision. Respect the Kaswentha Radical Keynesian

2/2 Good teachers are like a vaccine: they can make you feel uncomfortable for a bit, but they stimulate your immune system and force you to deal with different ideas. People who make fat stacks don't want the people they're ripping off to notice or do anything. Teachers are an impediment to Capital
Hugh of Borg: Resistance is not futile (@hugh258.bsky.social)
1/2 The duty of a teacher is to be in loco parentis, and to ensure student's understand the world, and are courageous enough to ask the most dangerous question in any language: "Why?" Done properly, teaching MUST be a subversive activity vital to the health of society.

As with the Holocaust, during the war, we knew it was bad...but we didn't know HOW bad until the end. That's where we are now. I deeply fear that the Venn diagram of what happening in America vs what happened in Nazi Germany, will be a perfect circle.

If we had the internet in the 1930s, this would be some of the commentary coming out of Germany. America is PNR V1 and full fascist. The only solution is the people end this and build a new society and constitution. It's not that the center cannot hold, it's that the center's already been routed.
