Fascism Chatter

 With all this semi-fascists chatter going on via the network news business....I sat and contemplated this 'word-game'.

Could you be just one-quarter-fascist, or 50-50 fascist, or three quarter fascist?

Could you be woke and still a tiny bit fascist?

Could you be normal at home, but full-up fascist at work?

Could you be a juvenile fascist?

Could you attend Sunday school, and hype your fascist side?

Could you avoid showing any movie from the 1950s, without being fascist?

Was Deputy Dawg, Space Ghost, or the Coyote (from Roadrunner fame) fascist?

In today's world, would Italian Benito Mussolini be considered full-up fascist, or just one-quarter fascist?

Are there more male fascists than female fascists, and why?

Finally, is there a rehab or propaganda program to counter fascism....without creating a whole counter-fascism angle? You know....fascism versus fascism?

Three Observations

 1.  When you go back and add up the participants of the Confederacy in 1860, it's something like 99-percent who were NOT slave-owners.  So it's hard to sit at a table today and say they were pro-slavery.  

If however, you examine the amount of biased news, corrupted chatter by both political parties, and the dynamics of the day....it was a 'us-versus-them' situation, and men felt compelled to fight over 'something'.  

If you then take this script and apply it today?  You get a very enthusiastic group, who in a single year....could go from simple woke-enthusiast to a fighting individual over 'something'.  

It is odd how history repeats itself.

2.  About fifty-percent of the hype that President Biden uttered at the Philadelphia speech....has been 'walked-back' by the President.  He says he didn't mean all those things he said.  

Just odd, but he makes so few speeches these days.....you have to assume he never read the speech text before that evening.

3.  I noticed off one news site.....apparently Americans are applying for pay-Apps, where you can buy groceries, then 'loan' you the money, for you to pay back later.

Yes, for grocery money.  

It looks remarkably like 1929/1930 in a way.
