This was such a great starting point for me! I second this recommendation.
I used this to learn and build a “proof of concept” on an old raspberry pi before buying anything new.
Oh I know. But truth and words matter. We cannot let them control the narrative, and we cannot let the less educated have it in their head that an emergency is all it takes. We have to hold the line.
Declaring martial law does not suspend voting. Nothing gives the president that power, and the constitution grants no condition for elections to be paused or not held. Full stop.
Conceding on this AT ALL gives them leverage.
While this poem is a useful tool, we cannot accept it being used by even the author to obscure the deaths of those he agreed with the Nazis about.
That priest was a product of his time and place, and fully teaching his poem demands passing on critique of that basis.
Wholly agree with you here in the goal, sentiment, and calling out he’s a product of his time. Once again, here’s a conservative that only cared about something once it affected him. At least he left his words to the ages in hopes others would learn from them instead.
Martin Niemoller, famously a prominent Lutheran pastor, was actually not a Catholic priest.

I agree with your sentiment, but his piece is timeless and too important to history to misrepresent.
EDIT: it’s also my understanding (not a historian though) that communists were the first targets. Political opponents when the nazis first achieved power because they were not strong. The moved on to ideological targets after they had established power.
Americans are also fucking stupid.
I think it’s cute how mad this guy got lol. Wait til he finds out ICE murders people.
US: hopefully trump’s death of old age
World: hoping for a fusion achievement
Nice try, officer.
True I hate him the most
Weighing this decision right now, certainly is tough.
I get that, but I don’t even mean it in that sense. A corporation should not have any control over what I do whatsoever unless I’m their employee.
Even if you’re morally opposed to the various things this addresses, it is so immensely concerning and unwise to want a corporation to have this much control over your actions, daily life, and liberty.
I don’t think enough people talk about that.
Already got my drinks and party hat
Ah yeah that could be it too. I saw all the community scripts and decided that was too much tinkering til I’m back in the Linux world lol
Nailed it. And to quibble, Jan 6th 2021 :)
