Day 137e: Walking amongst the Wayless … (September 13, 2019)
After leaving the church I made my way steadily to the local library – a haven of inclusion and potential enlightenment, and on my way passed by a home that housed its nemesis* – division and ignorance and hate …
*The symbols of these banners not only openly championed the anti-interdependence of the nationalist “Don’t Tread on Me” flag, but also hinted strongly at pro-Nazism while flagrantly proclaiming an allegiance to the Identitarians – a pan-European, far-right political movement that asserts the right of all Caucasian peoples to essentially commandeer all of current Western culture and claim its current territories as their own.
“Those who will not reason, are bigots, those who cannot, are fools, and those who dare not, are slaves … As a nation, we began by declaring that ‘All men are created equal.’ And yet we now must read the same on a purely practical level as ‘All men are created equal, except Negroes – and Latinos – and Native Americans.’ When the Know-Nothings get control, it will read ‘All men are created equal, except Negroes – and other People of Color – and foreigners – and the poor.’ And when if it ever comes to this in my lifetime I will readily prefer emigrating to some country where they make no pretense of loving liberty – even to Russia or North Korea or Saudi Arabia, for instance, where my despotism can be taken pure, and without any baser alloy of hypocrisy.” ~ inspired by George G. Byron & Abraham Lincoln
“What a sad era in which we now reside; when it is even easier to smash an atom than a prejudice … We men still build too many walls and not nearly enough bridges.” ~ inspired by Albert Einstein & Joseph F. Newton
