"Tyrannies are three-legged beasts. They encroach upon our world in a steady creep more often than overcome it in a violent takeover, which may be one reason why they are not always easy to spot before it is too late to do much about them. link.medium.com/CPo5RCujz7

Bears regular rereading. I’ve been thinking of the scene in “Caberet,” where a young Aryan youth singing “The Future Belongs to Me” gradually becomes the chorus of a whole nation, and you realize, preposterous as it seems, it has grown too large to stop. piped.video/_tUctFu46_c

My teen daughter and I went to local community theater production of the original Cabaret last August 4. The original play is yet darker than the later script. The company had a Q&A afterwards so we could decompress. This song was startling. I think of this often as well.
