Ok, Anthropological opinion on US History and experience: It is somewhat comforting to realize that we as a people have continually fought against the forces of authoritarianism and fascism and have won the fight so far. It gives me a small hope that we'll win this round also.
I am & always will be a pacifist. I am & always will be anti-fascist + an activist for it. I am & always will be working to see democracy win. I am & always will be willing to accept what looks like dire consequences for these beliefs. I will fight, but I will also have hope, as Obama asked us for.
