I agree. We may differ in tactics but we are both correct.
When I teach young kids here I use this image. I have entire course structured around this image so allow me to mention just few points, please. This image was taken in the March of 1939 when Nazis rolled into Czechoslovakia. Prior to that Czechoslovakia was sold by Great Britain, France and Italy. Czechoslovakian military was asked to leave the best fortified border in Europe without any fight. They were not allowed to damage anything and international observers were making sure Hitler will get more weapons into his arsenal. Czechoslovakia was at it's peak, industry was one of the best in Europe, low unemployment, great times (does that remind you something?). Then, in the spring of 1939 Hitler, who guaranteed Czechoslovakia's independence to the entire world, landed in Prague. How did he get there in less than 3 years? Well, looting was initiated in border areas, looters were exported from Germany and German media and German propaganda dominated the international press. It took Hitler only 1 year to convince Europe and America that poor Germans are discriminated by violent Czechs and the area is being looted (by Germans!!!) and it needs a rest. International community pressed Czechoslovakia to vacate looted lands and Hitler promised that what was left of Czechoslovakia he will leave alone. That promise also lasted less than one year.
Take a close look now:
You see confident Nazis in the foreground, line of Czech policemen and frustrated citizens right behind them. Some are crying, some are raising their fists in anger. Do you see the faces of those Czech policemen? Do they remind you anything from the last few days?
Czechoslovakia mounted immediately underground operations against invaders. Even communists, managed from Moscow, launched 3 underground organizations. Former democrats maintained underground army of former Czech soldiers. It took Nazis 3 years to destroy every one of those operations. Not only that, they closed all universities, killed students, killed professors,......All because of a resistance. If you would be living during that time you would be probably resisting and you will be also executed. Together with you, Nazis will execute your entire family, your relatives and your friends. It would not matter if they knew about you or not, they would be gone unless they would report on your activities. In such a case they will be spared and they will become agents of Gestapo.
Take a look at the picture again, please. Nazis and policemen did not survive WW2. At the end of WW2 Czech police forces started uprising against Germans. Germans executed many of them. Out of citizens in the background only very few survived WW2 and almost none of them survived communist regime which arrived into Czechoslovakia in 1948.
So, from 1939 to 1949, all winners and all losers were violently killed. In one decade millions died. We may call them heroes but they were all very ordinary people who minded their business. Police wanted order, German military wanted beer and order, citizens wanted happy life. They all died because some stupid a44 politicians decided to create new and BETTER order.
In reality, from the time the picture was taken great majority of them had less than 10 years of life left.
I do not want you to think that your sacrifice will matter. It will not. Your survival will matter. And survival does not require blaming other people or marching on Washington or local CVS.
Only two people from the picture lived all the way to their very old age. They survived not only Nazis but also half a century of communism. They produced children who did not become communists, they educated many others about the communism and Nazism and they finally lived in the world without any ideology. Yes, they did not live like Americans, they were not free, but they have survived.
You are correct, because we were sitting on our hands others took advantage of us. Now they are much stronger than us. Look, this weekend almost every city in the world had BLM demonstrations, even countries which are completely white had BLM.........And we can't get enough people to stand on the stairs to **** State House AFTER we were labeled as future felons. Let's not be naive now!
I am not advocating that we should continue sitting on our hands. I am asking you to drop your emotions, drop your illusions, and get your own things in order because they are probably not in the order for the things to come. And I do not mean more ammo!
The decade which is inevitable in front of all of us (black, yellow, brown, white) is going to be about survival. We did not selected that, we do not like it, we may cry now or raise our fists, but it is too late. Life will be way different now.
