A Follower of Thucydides:
One who hopes to not only adhere to Thucydides’ standards of history using evidence gathering and analysis of cause and effect without interference by the gods (or media) but to also use that history to educate people when the gods (or media) cloud their vision of the truth
Read and Study History!!!!!!!
Look up the first things every dictator from Lenin to Maduro did upon gaining office. They changed voting procedures to ensure they would stay in power and they called out the military to protect their stay in power which is tenuous as they start their “reforms.” As time wears on, the military is corrupted by new “training” that is a thinly disguised indoctrination to weed out non-supporters of the revolution. This “new and improved” military supports the Administration and its stranglehold on what was a Constitutional Republic against their fellow citizens who remember what it was like as a Republic. At this time, there is little chance of a peaceful vote due to the early changes to voting procedures and may result in an open rebellion.
If you have any doubt about my statements
above just read the historical timelines of Communist USSR, Cuba, China, Venezuela, or Fascist Italy and Germany before the true stories are erased by this Administration. For your
convenience, here
is an article about Venezuela. If one cannot see or refuse to
consider the parallels, he or she is either a committed Communist or Fascist; a person who
hated the media’s distorted version of President Trump so much he or she was willing
to go into Venezuelan Hell to get rid of him; or a partisan ideologue, which
now is equivalent to number one in this list and its “oppressor versus
oppressed” ideology.
In 1936, Harvard Professor George Santayana forewarned: "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it" (Reason in Common Sense, p. 284).
Are Americans doomed to repeat Communist and Fascist atrocities--already manifesting in terms of media censorship, social media deplatforming, and "cancel culture"? Where is the left in denouncing any of these developments? The absence of any pushback speaks volumes about intentions and motivations.
