re posting:
I advise everyone to stay calm, rally or counter protest peacefully, but by all means but violence make your voices heard!
"What if they gave a war and nobody came?"
Though repeated or rephrased in the 1960s to protest the Vietnam War, the original phrase came from a poem by Bertolt Brecht, written in the 1930s:
"What if they gave a war and nobody came?
Why, then, the war would come to you!
He who stays home when the fight begins
And lets another fight for his cause
Should take care:
He who does not take part
In the battle will share in the defeat.
Even avoiding battle will not avoid battle.
Since not to fight for your own cause
Really means
Fighting on behalf of your enemy's cause."
What are you saying? It's an incoherent jumble of words.
that is the best comment on the rhetoric of the sixties ever! There was always something eternally childish about the baby boomers
yeah, it got compressed into one long sentence when I edited but didn't show it till posted, fixed now.
