      James Wheeler-Hill, national secretary of the Bund, opened the night with the statement that “if George Washington were alive today, he would be friends with Adolf Hitler.”[

      If Adolf Hitler were alive today, he would be friends with Donald Trump.

        Yeah, honestly the US really didn’t want to take sides. A shocking number of Americans supported Hitler. But then the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor and that sort of unified the country to fight on the anti-fascism (antifa, for short) side of the war.

        I guess hate is just part of the human experience.

        welcome to the reality of humanity. but we can change it. most behavior is learned. we could easily teach new generations love and compassion but that will never happen until every sociopath and idiot on this planet is eradicated. do you want this cycle to continue endlessly? no? then wake up. nothing gets better until there is a global purge.

      They did mention 100,000 antifascist protectors outside that day. 5 times the number of the members of the organization. It is something at least.
