It's pretty obvious that in the context of what he's saying it's "jail them all" < I'm somebody watching the right wing for threats, this isn't one of them. He has some sort of speech impediment and he's talking about biden being a disgrace and corrupt.

We don't need to fan the flames of fear by not waiting a few minutes to really process individual reports; we do need to be prepared when violence comes, because some level imho is almost a certainty.

Jumping at mispronounced words or bad lip reading doesn't lend credibility to ringing the much needed alarms.

I watched to footage again. He clearly says "Kill them all" twice and that was supported by the interviewer. This is a clear mindset that is being supported by these propaganda outlets. I don't see a lot to dispute here.

America today feels the way Germany in 1936-7 must have felt

And all the people saying all Germans were Nat Cees because they didn't overthrow fascism...Are you a MAGAT? You haven't stopped this fascism. You must be complicit.

As a student of this period I always wondered what it must have been like. At what point in time did the people of the 30s realize the full shape of what we see in hindsight? As I kid I asked my grandmother who lived it and had a great memory, when she and her friends realized the Nazis were monsters. An intelligent and aware woman, she admitted it only came with war. Her husband left to fight the second time.

At least in the 2020s we have the grotesque model of history to point to. Yet in an ironic twist, that model was so extreme no one believes it can happen again or here. It's astonishing.

Never did I think I'd live though such a moment, sound the alarm, and be ignored.

The period we are going through has illustrated to me better than any history book, how a cultured western civilization can lose its collective mind and fall hard for extremism. Best illustrated in Schindlers list, by the German soldier playing Mozart or Beethoven on a piano in ruins as Jews are rounded up outside.

If you ever decide to write about your grandmother's memorues, I'd like to read it.

Thanks. She was a remarkable woman. She was born in 1901. Her husband (my grandfather who died before I was born), his sister and most of their cousins all went to WWI. Her husband and one of her children went to WWII. All survived war. But with wounds.

She kept my grandfathers mess tin. In it he kept his diary. Every page had a ripple - like the wake of a boat - where a bullet was stopped before it entered his chest.

When I was 7-14 I was fortunate enough to be able to spend summers with her - she lived in a country town and arranged for me to work at a local stable in exchange for going out on rides with customers as an assistant to the guide.

Each night, after I came home, we would watch the 7PM news bulletin. Just after an ice cream truck would come by. She gave me 30c to get a soft serve. She never wanted one. So with the news and ice cream we then discussed the days events in the context of all the things that had happened in her life time. I got to ask what the depression was like and when they realized hitler was a monster. What she thought of our leaders - particularly historical ones.

The biggest take away for me was they had a sense things were getting bad but optimism and fear of war really made them downplay the threats. Just like today.

I was very lucky. Sometimes you just have a connection with someone. She was kind and smart. I found her fascinating. She was very strong willed. But not in a mean way. You knew the rules and if you were reasonable so was she. My mother respected her MIL. She was similar in many ways. Esp on the strong willed side. There is a certain type of Australian woman who simply does not take any shit from anyone. They are not aggressive or stupid like we see in Karen videos. They are firm but fair. They do not suffer fools.

This might appear to non-Australians as odd because it's known in popular culture as a very mucho male dominated culture. Thats true. Which is why women of this kind chose to assert themselves to be respected.

America like to think of itself as macho. Thats laughable. I have seen full bird colonel infantry Marine friends of mine get chewed out by their wives in public. Men here ask for "leave passes" etc in a joking way - but not without some genuine deference to the reality of home life that the wives are really in charge. [Tangentially, I think that explains why misogyny here is still so strong - like a guerilla backlash].

Strong Aussie women earned respect from the men and a place as a genuine partner. In a counterintuitive way, it's more egalitarian than here.

Just my personal observations.
