Generation Wise

Generation Wise
Wed, 6/6/2012

This short by Bis Films, a boutique production company based in Montreal, shines a light on the student movement that started in Quebec last winter and has since won support and solidarity throughout Canada and the world. The prevalence of red patches on backpacks and lapels across several continents illustrates how a battle over access to education morphed into a full-fledged social movement once the government tried to suppress it with anti-protest legislation.

"It started with a debate about education," a young demonstrator says in the film, "then it quickly became a debate about society, about what kind of government we want, what kind of future we want for coming generations."

And this generation is certainly up to the task.

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.

History shows there are no “one-day” dictatorships. When democracies fall, they typically fall completely.
