    It makes me feel really sad to see the USA go from 80s / 90s Era golden times into false wars, the murder of millions and now we just putting the building blocks in place to have a new form of the Nazi party.

    The problem is that everyone is so Tribal now and fixed into their positions I can only see it escalating. I’m worried for my children.
