Friday and Saturday, Nazis marched openly in the streets of Charlotteville, while the police watched the violence escalate until alt-right Nazi James Field killed somebody.
As I looked at the video clips and photos from the march, I cannot see anyone marching who looks older than 30. Have these people no connection with the Greatest Generation? Are they so far removed from folks in their 80s and 90s that they've never spoken with someone who lived through or fought in World War II? Have they never met someone with a concentration camp number tattooed on their arm? (I was 18 the first time I saw it for real, defacing the flesh of a woman. I had no words, no answers; I just let her tell me her story.)
Well, we've been here before, and the US already has some handy films on how to spot fascism before you get sucked into thinking it's somehow OK.
Check out this link and watch the short film.
