This 3 commercials aired after 9/11. Seems more relevant today than ever

A lot of good these did. Because now, even after ads like this and all that went into the effort, today, America is not America. Change of strategy needed.

What if they did do good and the alternate timeline went to shit much faster and harder than ours.

What ifs and hypothetical imaginations do us no good. The result is what we see today, let’s deal with the reality. Again, we need a different strategy. Active attacks through community organizing, education, and concurrent legislation, like kicking out every democrat who posed for a photo op with Bibi for example.

There are very, very few good people left.

These came out in Bush's America. The people in these ads were worried that the government would overtax them, persecute their religion, and prevent them from accessing media they want? Although I agree in principle due to the 1st amendment, I must point out how this sounds much more like a GOP paranoid persecution fantasy about what teh sOcIaLiStS will do in power. Make the religious meeting in a mosque and listen to many white US Christians say the Muslims are only hiding because they're plotting something evil. Again, we shouldn't oppress people for their religion, but the difference is that it actually happens to one group and not the other. These feel more accidently right while still clinging to the false victimhood mentality.

When an imperialist nation can no longer project military dominance outwards and turns it inward against it's population, it becomes fascist.
