Also our grandparents:
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.
A common threat like climate change has not been very effective sadly.
We literally had a common threat facing the world five years ago and humans were not united. I'm pretty sure an asteroid level threat would have similar consequences.
Have you by chance read the comic Watchmen?
Don't forget the New Guard in Australia, who put on a big show at the opening of the famous Sydney Harbour Bridge

They are GIDDY with appreciation. It's a saying now with the Trump nuts I work with. ''Hope they send him to El Salvador'' whenever someone cuts them off. The cruelty is the point. No more being scared or intimidated by brown people, they no longer have human rights!
Omfg that's messed
did you just get here? yes. cruelty is the point. stop trying to understand. the only thing you need to know is 'guns'.
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.
