Amid the smoke bombs and screams that ricocheted throughout a South Shore building last month during a massive military-style immigration raid, one man heard a knock on his door.

On the other side was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for his help.

“I wasn’t planning on letting her stay, but I didn’t know what the hell was going on,” the man said of his Venezuelan migrant neighbors. But he quickly relented. The little girl was inconsolable and hid under his bed.

“I didn’t want them to take her,” said the man, who didn’t want to be named because he fears he’ll be targeted by federal authorities for his actions.

4. I was thinking the same.

Just as Hitlers will always arise, so will Just Ones, who refuse to close their hearts.

5. The battle between good and evil is the iconic human condition.

2. We really are being ruled by a class that is unable to distinguish fantasy from reality

I can’t think of anything more dangerous in a country with hundreds of millions of guns

3. Their fantasies have become our reality.

And their fantasies are based on hatred, anger, fear, greed, bloodlust.

6. Common for populist dictators.

The nazis lived in a fantasy world. Economically and militarily.

The pre-war nazis economy was an illusion built on ideology and internal debit financing of military spending and public works. A ginormous Ponzi scheme. it was nothing like the civilian, consumer driven economies of Great Britain and particularly the US. German POWs were amazed how well Brits lived, even with a war across the channel. The US blew their minds. Simple things like ice cream. A luxury rarely seen even in pre-war Germany. It was as ubiquitous in1940's US as the Hersey bar, even in POW camps. We went above and beyond the Geneva Convention. To the point a lot of German prisoners didn't want to go home after the war. Lucky for them they weren't Black or Japanese. We had our own sins.

And then there's the horses. Dad was amazed at how many horses they saw, usually dead, that were drafted into the Wehrmacht. Roughly 80% of German military logistics was moved by horse and wagon from pre-war to '45. Something not seen in the US since WW1. We were fully motorized, thanks to GM, Ford, Chrysler and the Studebaker "duce and a half". The Studebaker founders were German. More than a little ironic.
