Deja Vu

Haven't we been here before?

Hasn’t this moment occurred both in the macrocosm and the microcosm many, many, times?

Those who would destroy us, those would divide us up and rule us, those who would manage us like a herd of cattle,
haven't they empowered (with money, influence, propaganda) all the differing sides in conflicts between countries, as well as conflicts within a country?

From ancient days to the man-killing World Wars, to the proxy battles, to our own destabilized current moment, they have lived like parasites off the pain and blood of conflicts they engineered.

The America I grew up in was a short time ago, and a civil war was unthinkable.

But slowly at first, and rapidly now, we are being divided.

Do not let someone convince you that violence against other Americans is ever an acceptable path.
