Revisionism by the Mob

Revisionism by the Mob

Dort, wo man Bücher verbrennt, verbrennt man am Ende auch Menschen": "Where they burn books, they will also ultimately burn people." Heinrich Heine

The furore of rallies happening across the world, burning flags, destroying monuments, pretending to rewrite history has something of other times. Long before the famous 1930s and 1940s, the message of what was going to happen across Europe had been sent by a poet of the 19th Century. The so called Black Lives Matter Movement that kills black people including black Police officers is no different from what happened in the 1930s and 1940s. 

The madness engulfs societies and entire countries. As it happened in the 1930s and 1940s, politicians and mass media jumped on the bandwagon justifying criminal acts 'because people are angry'. 

In some sort of November Pogrom, usually called Kristallnacht, demonstrators are on the rampage like locusts that advance destroying everything of value that they encounter. The young and the ignorant join in in this orgy of violence and destruction and adrenaline flows.

As it happened before in the 1930's and 1940s, this is not going to end up well. Violence will generate violence and sooner than later we will have a Mad Max reality in which hunters and hunted will be one and the same, in which tit for tat reactions will destroy any ressemblance of peaceful coexistence. The Revolution will devour its children.
