"Atrocities are the process via which atrocities are normalized.

[...]

"See people brutalized enough and it becomes easier to think of them as less than human.

[...]

"You don't go straight from electing Hitler to bayoneting babies. You need Kristallnacht in between.

"Atrocities are the deliberate tactic that normalizes atrocities. That is the tactic, the goal, the thing that feeds on itself until those getting us used to all this have the country they want."

Truth, that is.

And this must never be normal.

Truth.

Is the public okay with teargassing children? Turns out it is.

If some die? Okay.

How about concentration camps? Yep.

Even if the kids are abused, tortured, and raped? A necessary price for freedom.

And some die? They should have chosen better parents.

Show trials for toddlers? Who cares?

What's next?

Hi, I'm the public, and I'm not okay with these things. Neither are you. Don't pre-defeat us.

I dig your positivity. I mean, I'm out on the streets, I'm knocking on doors, I'm talking to my colleagues and neighbours. I'm not American, though and I'm just seeing the vast majority of left-leaning Americans—which in itself is a self-selecting group–focused entirely on electing a government slightly less hostile to brown people in 2020, when you're long past elections as a means to turn back this tide.

Not that Canadians are any better; we're about to gleefully head down the same dark path next year.
