Browsing some leftover tabs from yesterday. Here’s an interesting little factoid from wikipedia:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sturmabteilung#Fall

«Although some of the conflicts between the SS and SA were based on personal rivalries of leaders, the mass of members had key socio-economic differences and related conflicts. SS members generally came from the middle class, while the SA had its base among the unemployed and working class.»

I’m thinking about Trump supporters and the nature of revolutions. It’s like there’s always a point where the revolution is subverted by smoother operators not driven by the ideals of the revolution, but by an appetite for power and money.
