for those who haven't read this please do, and take notes. 20 lessons from the twentieth century. 126 pages.

Some snippets of the text:

Lesson 4: Take Responsibility for the face of the world.

The symbols of today enable the reality of tomorrow. Notice the swastikas and the other signs of hate. Do not look away, and do not get used to them. Remove them yourself and set an example for others to do so.



and never do this

visibility

3. Yes. Removing swatikas, I would do... The problem comes from the Trump:Vance signs

which I had to live with for six weeks and one is still up now. They may be a smidge less clear than a swastika in terms of an overt sign of hate, but not much. I WANTED to tear them down. I did not. That may come to haunt me, as does everything related to TSF and his nasty ilk.
