We don't need new information or new analysis or new experts to understand what's going on right now. We just need to cut the shit, and see this for exactly what it is.

Headline, 80 years old, from The Boston Globe.

Could have been from this week.

But no, it's from 79 years ago, a rabbi speaking to The Boston Globe.

Again, 1940, The Boston Globe. We literally don't need any analysis, or experts. The work in that area has been done. All we need is the will to not repeat the same mistakes.

I wonder what this doctor, who devoted his life to explaining the grave risks of antisemitism, and who spent a month in 1939 trying to explain antisemitism to Boston, would say to where we find ourselves now.

And here's a 1939 Boston Globe editorial. So, yeah. If you're waiting around for an hour to strike, eventually, when someone else will clean up a mess you can plainly see, I think history shows that's not how this plays out. Get on board, or be on the wrong side of history.

To all the Bostonians who are pretending now there's no Nazi problem here. There is now, and there was then.

1937, meet 2021.
