      “The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”

      1984, by George Orwell

      That needs to be branded on everyone who demands it of us. They’re your enemy and should be treated as such.

        If you can convince the lowest white man he’s better than the best colored man, he won’t notice you’re picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he’ll empty his pockets for you.

        Lyndon B. Johnson

        Nothing ever changes except which marginalised group they target. But its always… ALWAYS the same strategy; get them fighting a culture war so that they are too distracted to notice the real enemy.
