It makes me think of this episode specifically:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Monsters_Are_Due_on_Maple_Street

I remember watching/reading/dissecting this episode in junior high. In Ohio. It's fucking nuts to see this playing out in real life.

The ending narration:

The tools of conquest do not necessarily come with bombs and explosions and fallout. There are weapons that are simply thoughts, attitudes, prejudices ... to be found only in the minds of men. For the record, prejudices can kill ... and suspicion can destroy ... and a thoughtless, frightened search for a scapegoat has a fallout all of its own—for the children and the children yet unborn.

Hey all, you might see some flyers from a socialist group who were originally working with Cincinnati Socialists about a planned event on 9/28. Cincy socialists canceled their event per the wishes of the Haitian community. The Haitian community has asked for no demonstrations for the month of September and they do not support this event stating that any planned action against the wishes of the Haitian community is to be viewed as actions of colonizers.

The Black Panthers have been told not to demonstrate as well as other groups (we had a very large demonstration planned and we canceled per the Haitian community’s wishes), but this group is choosing selfish needs over solidarity and inflicting their addenda on people who do not want it.

Lol, people are strange. There was a brony who posted about the thread in a fediverse drama community. A different user DM'd me because he didn't like something I said so I just banned him.

Either way, welcome.

I didn't censor this, it was posted by them after Vance called them white supremacists.
