Doing research in college there was a letter from one brother to another during the Holocaust I found.

One brother tried desperately to get all his family to drop everything and move.

One stayed behind and wouldn't hear of it.

The brother who stayed wrote back from a camp that he didn't believe it until he and his immediate family was separated in the train line. He told his brother how sorry he was for being so blind.

His brother died in the camp as did all but one of his kids including his wife.

Some people can't cope with what is really going on around them...

Bush Twain once said "Fooled once is easier than unfooling the fooled, and it's better to not be fooled than to be fooled again".

Just last night I was talking to friends about how many cities pledged to end meat consumption, vehicle ownership, and only allow 3 articles of clothing to be bought each year. All of them said “come on, that’ll never happen”

Maybe not. Sure it sounds crazy. But there’s many things that have happened in the past 4 years that 15 years ago I would have said wouldn’t ever happen or it would cause massive civil unrest. Yet here we are

Many are against this bullshite but they refuse to believe it’ll happen (or simply don’t want to) and won’t expend the energy to push back now before it’s too late
