Indiana mall shooting thwarted by armed civilian

I see you are gleefully parroting the favorite meme of fascists:

FYI ... the quote comes from a book from former Marine G. Michael Hopf and not the meme you supplied. The quote just summerizes the concept that has been going around since probably the dawn of time ... at least modern times anyway.

History isn't all good/all bad. 

That can actually be said about everyone in my experience. 

To me, the founding fathers gave up their money, estates, and families the day they signed that paper declaring independence. Mot of them were very rich in their own rights but they sacrificed way more than I most likely ever will so all of us to have a better opprotunity. they didn't fix everything but they a made a way to do so. They will always have my respect.

So you quoted an author who quoted fascist philosophy.

It's a dumb concept that's obviously wrong.  (Fascists love it, though.)  There isn't even a decent correlation between "strong men" and "good times," much less causation... and without that part, none of the rest of the meme is worth thinking about.  "Good times create weak men"... OK, so what?  Should we avoid good times, then?

It also doesn't make any sense when applied to the real world.  When were the "hard times" that created the great orange emperor?  When were the "good times" that created Soft Joe, or our previous weak Muslim president?  Was Dubya the strong man that created good times, or the weak man that created hard times?  None of it makes any sense.

The only purpose that idea serves is try to convince people that they need to elevate strongmen (literally: strong men!) in order to bring about Good Times.  It's fascist propaganda, plain and simple.
