When the long arc of history is considered, there are frightening parallels in play right now - humans once again creating scenarios to excuse their descent into madness.

I like to think of myself as an amateur historian. As such, I'm really worried. We should have taught our children history in reverse. They needed to know what preceded their birth by only a few decades.

We obviously never taught them so they never knew and those that don't know history are, in this case, cursed to repeat it.

Willkommen im vierten reich!

I can hardly believe this child in an orange clown suit is the catalyst.
