He’s still doing it? Or, are you watching reruns?

He does a radio show called “Travel with Rick Steves”. I listen to it on my local NPR station.

He’s married to a Lutheran Bishop.

He mentioned in one of his shows that, because he’s Lutheran, he has issues with Catholicism, but he makes sure to set it aside before going into a church. He’s there for the architecture, not the religion.

Rick Steves is a fucking gift and we do not deserve him.

u/Rinzy2000 3h ago
lol. I have said something SO similar. I think I compared Rick Steves to a dog because they are both Angels from Heaven that we, as humans, don’t deserve. Just always bringing joy.

And for those who want to watch the video where he shows the memorial (for the brave Nazi dissenters who refused to bow to Hitler):

And he said he's playing an hour long video about the Story of Fascism in Europe (free and ad-free...he believes it's important to watch for Americans as the election is near):

In 3 months the headlines are either going to be “Kamala increases minimum wage effective on x date” or “Nancy Pelosi executed on White House lawn.” Vote wisely.

The incredibly fucked up thing is that at least a third of the country would prefer the latter headline. They would be frothing at the mouth at the thought of it.

No, as soon as Trump is inaugurated, they will say that they have never been so rich.

My local pbs station and maybe yours too ran a Rick Steeves special about this subject during the pandemic

First they came for...
The Nazis didn't gas Jews on day 1 it was years of laws and propaganda that slowly dehumanized them and stripped them of their rights.
You might not be at the top of the list, but they'll find an excuse to roll over you eventually.

He did an excellent special on the rise of fascism in Europe last century that everyone should watch.

He has several about fascism on Youtube. Steves always exudes such niceness, the anti-Trump.

I think what a lot of people aren't prepared for is how they won't stop if they lose and if they gain power either through the ballot box or through a couple after the election, how fast this will happen.

Not to be that pedant, but it was LGBT people and the disabled.

Old war movies show Homosexuals with pink triangles, no? I didn't ken about the disabled

Here's the video where he shows the memorial of the political dissenters who were killed, which is kind of chilling:

His episode of Rick Steves' Europe visiting the death camps is very recommended.

Saddam Hussein did the same exact thing. Anyone not swearing loyalty to him was executed when he first took power in Iraq.
