Iirc, FBI or some USA government entity convinced? coerced? Hollywood into being the propaganda department of our government sometime during WW2.

Not even where, if one wanted. Without means, it's a trap.

Imo the problem wasn't in trying to rehabilitate, it was that it was insufficient.

I wanted to post this video, the words and images are compelling. And yes, I know about issues with Kennedy, etc. It's not the point.

I didn't get the feeling this is what the meme is about, maybe it is. I think your discomfort is good, in that it has you questioning what you may have not questioned, before. On one level, we can't decide what's okay for you, internally. The bigger question is, if external forces would compel suffering and death for your beliefs and convictions, are you prepared to accept that? Many of us who think we are may not be, when put into that position, just as many of us who think we aren't may end up being more certain than we knew. And at that end neither really matters, at all. I think deep introspection will have to be both journey and destination, multiple times in our lifetimes. The questioning is the reward.

I believe the word you want is "prosecute/prosecution" rather than "persecute", but thanks for this.

Superior orders, also known as just following orders or the Nuremberg defense, is a plea in a court of law that a person, whether civilian, military or police, should not be considered guilty of committing crimes ordered by a superior officer or official.[1][2] It is regarded as a complement to command responsibility.[3]

ja wear a black armband when they shot the man who said peace could last forever?

Ah, the Nuremberg defense. 😶

It won't be easy going against the duopoly; it never is.

Yes, that's what I mean about getting a toe in the door. So I'm open to running as Dem, but IDK if the party would let that happen either.

Maybe, I can't remember. I don't seem to recall it having advert execs but I don't remember the rest of the story either. It was a long time ago. I remember the lesson, though.

We've got to get a toe in the door. Ideas?
