Upon Re-Reading William L. Shirer’s

The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich

 

Perhaps one day America will go fascist democratically, by popular vote.

 

-William L. Shirer, New York Times, 29 December 1969

 

We do not live Samsara, for Samsara has meaning

So this is not Samsara; this is a cascade of deaths

We live in linear time – or maybe we don’t -

And the gods of hate sneak in ahead of us
