Should be read out in all schools and universities. Well, not primary or infant schools. I tried to organize a protest march against illiteracy, but I couldn't find anyone who could spell it properly when preparing the placards. And oh isn't it boring by now, the statements about Trump being a "dictator" or a "fascist" rather than a flawed but important political phenomenon who is nothing of the sort, having disqualifying characteristics like a sense of humour. Imagine Hitler or Stalin making a joke, or engaging in some kind of debate where their opponent wasn't terrified of being murdered. Oh when will we get back to a higher level of sanity. Anyway, I'm off to TikTok to celebrate the torture and slaughter of a puppy as he was showing clear signs of being a right-wing pet.

A left-wing 'friend' of mine - not a young person and well-educated - suggested that the murderer of Charlie Kirk be given a medal because - just like those who had fought fascism in WWII - he had killed a fascist. It's not only a lie about Kirk and a morally bankrupt sentiment, but obviously historically illiterate, as well. How could anyone believe that murdering someone in a peacetime democracy for exercising their lawful free speech rights, and doing so respectfully and politely, as Kirk always did, is an anti-fascist act analogous to fighting actual Nazism in a war? The world has been turned upside down, at least in the deranged minds of some.

The more things change the more they stay the same.

1940s: everyone is a Nazi.

2025: everyone is a Nazi.
