    You see, in my imagination, the nazis were absolute evils, doing evil thing for the sake of evil, like some saturday morning cartoon villain. I, on the other hand, always present evidence, such as certain groups being overrepresented in crime, and I even make up statistics about race and IQ. The nazis didn’t, they just killed Jews and the Roma, so they could be the most evil in history.

      I sometimes fear that
      people think that fascism arrives in fancy dress
      worn by grotesques and monsters
      as played out in endless re-runs of the Nazis.

      Fascism arrives as your friend.
      It will restore your honour,
      make you feel proud,
      protect your house,
      give you a job,
      clean up the neighbourhood,
      remind you of how great you once were,
      clear out the venal and the corrupt,
      remove anything you feel is unlike you…

      It doesn’t walk in saying,
      “Our programme means militias, mass imprisonments, transportations, war and persecution.”

        Damn, he was way ahead of the curve. I tried to tell those exact words to my skeptic and atheist friends, only to liken me to those conspiracy theorists, who thought the nazis secretly control everything.

        So magats are like Nazis, but without the good job market. Magats slid into what they are for less than what the Nazis got. Gross.

          Less than what the Nazis got, with all the knowledge and history about Nazis at their fingertips, and with their ancestors having fought Nazis. Disgusting, pathetic, losers.

        A good portion of our populace has had their empathy removed, short circuited, or simply bypassed.

        And they can’t even seem to fathom the idea, that once the weapons built it can be aimed anywhere the wielder likes.
