KKK marches in NY, 1927<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The above photo was taken at an event at which Donald Trump\u2019s German grandfather – Friedrich \u2018Fred\u2019 Trump – was arrested, for \u2018refusing to disperse\u2019, whilst attending a KKK rally, in Queens, NY, 1927. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grandfather Trump\u2019s son, also Fred Trump, was a chip off the old block, being sued by NY authorities over his racist treatment of black tenants, as a NY landlord. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And now we have Donald, pursuing openly and avowedly racist goals, as POTUS. He repeats lies about crime and immigration that pretty much all studies of the actual subject categorically refute. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve read online that there are those saying boycotting the US hosting the World Cup is dumb and hypocritical. After all, we didn\u2019t boycott the World Cup when Saudi held it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, there is a valid pint to be addressed here. But my conclusion is totally different. Just because a crime was committed, but you failed to report it, act on it, or prose it it, doesn\u2019t mean that, by logical extension and former precedent you are duty bound to never report further future crimes. That way lies madness, and the collapse of civilisation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Okay, the works at large failed to exercise proper ethical and political judgment on numerous occasions in history, such as Germany hosting the 1933 Olympics, or\u2026 well, there are plenty of other potential examples. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, following (?)\u2019s \u2018logic\u2019, we simply throw out hands up, roll-over, and key dictators and other tyrants continue fucking everyone they fancy over? Er\u2026 NO! Maybe we could and should learn from our past mistakes<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having said this, what is the best way to respond? I think boycotting the World Cup is a no-briber, personally. FIFA very foolishly gave DT a fake peace prize recently. They\u2019ve earned a massive slap, for that alone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But I don\u2019t think we should be aiming to destroy the US economy, by selling all our US bonds\/stocks, etc. In almost all conflicts between states\/nations, it\u2019s the little folk who pay dearest. That\u2019s another mistake we need to stop making. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This awful scenario is the work of so called elites. The rich and powerful of disaster capitalism. Those who profit from the ruthless and systematic exploitation of others. They should be made to suffer, not Joe Public. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, not all<\/em> of Joe Public. The MAGA segment really needs education and enlightenment, and maybe some punishment. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
