You Might Be a Fascist

Probably ninety-nine percent of people aren't in any way or shape, or form....a fascist.  But in case you had some thought about yourself, and where you might have lost your way......here are ten ways to tell if you've become a fascist.

1.  You are driven to one central belief on priorities and politics in life, and you expect your kids, your spouse, your co-workers, your fellow church-members, and neighbors.....to believe in that stance.

2.  Disagreement isn't possible.  If you brought up the idea over politics, and you find yourself deep into this debate, and unwilling to compromise to the other guy's position....that you continue arguing, or you 'shun' the guy.

3.  Silencing or shunning people is the next step if you can't convert them to your agenda.  Silencing might be done via social media, or just telling people that you are nutty over your persuasion in life.  Silencing might even mean identifying your wife or kids....as the guilty party, and just avoiding them.

4.  Dissention and disunity will quickly draw your criticism and frustrations.  There's your goal, and there is only opposition in existence.

5.  You continually talk about the opposition as being facistist.  They are the dissenters, or the resistance crowd.  Among your peers, this conversation will occur a great deal of the time as you boast of the resistance being encountered and how you need to 'win'.

6.  Symbology matters.  A hoodie, a patch on your shoulder, a particular type of boot, a flag....all of these are symbols of the agenda. You always have some symbol in your surroundings.

7.  You seem to talk alot about freedom of speech, yet continually deny that right to anyone wanting to have a serious conversation on a topic near and dear to you.

8.  Capitalism always seem negative to you.  Yet for some odd reason, you don't really embrace the other side.  So your chatter is mostly that you want to fix or resolve capitalism.

9.  You seem to talk a lot about racism, hatred, greed, evil, etc.....but it's mostly for show purposes.

10.  Bringing change to resolve a problem is continually your theme.  But after some change has occurred, someone comes around to remind you that things were supposed to be better....but they don't see any improvement, and you just kinda grin at the guy.
