Act Out! [78] - Terrorism, War, Oppression, Colonialism & Activism: from Attica to 9/11 to #NoDAPL

Act Out! [78] - Terrorism, War, Oppression, Colonialism & Activism: from Attica to 9/11 to #NoDAPL

This article originally appeared on Occupy.com

This week marks the 15th anniversary of the attacks on September 11, 2001. Let's take a look at what these 15 years have brought us: the results of the war on terror and the terrorists made on both sides of the story. Then, this Friday also marks an anniversary — the 45th anniversary of the Attica prisoner uprising — and this year, prisoners across the U.S. are commemorating it with their own actions: for human rights and justice. Next up, join in the fight against the Dakota Pipeline wherever there's a bank. And finally, words of wisdom, power and inspiration from an activist who fought fascism not because she thought she'd win, but because they were fascists. From tweets to marching in the streets, this is Act Out!

What remains unknown is whether post-truth Republicans will succeed in 2024 as the Nazis did in 1933.

Based on details that have emerged about Trump’s presidential agenda, the far-right Heritage Foundation plans for the next GOP president to have all the tools necessary to demolish multicultural democracy and establish a white, Christian ethnostate that imposes a gender apartheid not unlike the Taliban’s Afghanistan.

Donald Trump, Hitler

Like Hitler, Trump has a unique command of propaganda, a captivating public presence, and he knows how to drive home narratives beneficial to him and harmful to his enemies.

Trump’s brand of hyper-nationalism combined with the intense consolidation of executive power follows the same playbook as fascistic leaders in other countries like India,Russia, Hungary, Turkey, Egypt, Italy and Argentina, among others.
