      Color film was not as widespread and more expensive. This is not a case like the MLK photographs which were digitally altered to be black and white to make school children believe it happened a longer time ago

        I was actually making a joke about conflating the two fascist rallies at Madison Square Garden, but thanks! That’s an interesting point about how MLK photos have been presented. Propaganda can be very subtle.

          Ah I gotcha, there’s some good color restoration film of this even if you can find it. I remember distinctly it being in a history documentary I found and then saw again on YouTube about the German American Bund.

    What’s that adage about nine people sitting at a table with one Nazi?

      I don’t understand why, with all the posts you’re making, you never seem to want to discuss the full picture, which is that, on all the things you specifically accuse the Democrats of, the Republicans are a provably worse option.

      Bruh you do understand House Repubs were the ones who passed the bills that prevented Biden from stopping arms to israel right?

      Also false dichotomy. Just because one side is “pro-something” doesn’t mean the other side is automatically the opposite.

          We’re all against genocide numbnuts. It’s because you’re actively, every day doing a little bit to get even more genocide into power under the cover of trying to prevent genocide.

          You’re quite awful. And you should try to be a better person, if you have the capacity to even criticize yourself.

      It’s not for the attendees. There are plenty of people who do not read news regularly and have not heard about it. This is the kind of action that spreads on social media and reaches some of those people
