Reminds me of this quote from an essay by Roderic Day - “When we proudly assert that we are for the individual over the collective, we’re essentially saying that some people count as people, and some don’t. At the heart of liberalism lies dehumanization; we should not forget that slave ownership was one of the original “individual rights” that was so fiercely fought for by American revolutionaries.” https://redsails.org/masses-elites-and-rebels/
Everyone on the internet is an American CIA agent. I’m kidding. I’m from a third world country. If you dig through my comment history maybe you could figure out the exact one but for personal reasons I leave it ambiguous.
But that’s very interesting family history you have. I’m sorry to hear that fascism got so close to your family.
My family has never been politically active and my grandparents didn’t finish elementary school until they were adults with children. It’s wild how everything changes in a few generations.
Oh its ok, no need to say if you dont want to. Thanks!
