This is chilling after having just seen Cabaret and noticing similarities between the depiction of Nazis coming to power and the current political climate in America. Thanks desultorie.
I would call the flagrant abuses of human rights & our own laws to be more than "tiny incremental compromises" in our individual liberties. I would also term the massive unbalancing of executive power more than marginal.
I'm sorry, but I loathed zeitgeist from the first few minutes, and find her arguments far more coherent & rational. I know, personally & publicly, of many outrageous crimes, committed by several branches of law enforcement, that endanger Americans everywhere.
Ed: Sorry about fixing this twice, but my fingers stray when I'm impassioned.
See this is why I always try to avoid policiticicics in my journal - because a) I don't know enough to make really informed comments about anything and b) I always get upset when people start to feel offended/things get heated/whatever. I like the video and I watched it like 5 times so I'm keeping it up, but yeah. Sorry if I was offensive or anything.
