That propaganda from the US foxnews Koch Puppets is supported here is no suprise

Its the blatant loyalty to fascism and support of US fascist media that is bought and paid for by RW Koch brothers

We now must support fascism in this country. We now must support Capitalism that screws over the 99%

10. "the thing you replied to".

You know, nothing says "anti-fascist" like using deliberately dehumanizing words for human beings.

Oh wait, that's something actual fascists do.

You do not oppose fascism--you emulate it and adopt its rhetoric.

Go ahead, call me vermin or a rodent or something else from your limited arsenal of hate speech.



And that sets the stage for this:

As John Cleese said:

Full Transcript:

Seriously though, we've heard a lot about extremism recently, a nastier harsher atmosphere everywhere, more abuse and bother-boy behavior, less friendliness and tolerance and respect for opponents.

Alright, but what we never hear about extremism is its advantages!

Well. The biggest advantage of extremism is that it makes you feel GOOD because it provides you with enemies.

Let me explain. The great thing about having enemies is that you can pretend that all the badness in the whole world is in your enemies, and all the goodness in the whole world is in YOU.

Attractive, isn't it?

So, if you have a lot of anger and resentment in you anyway and you therefore enjoy abusing people, then you can pretend that you're only doing it because these enemies of yours are such very bad persons! And if it wasn't for them, you'd actually be good natured, and courteous, and rational all the time. So, if you want to FEEL GOOD, become an extremist!

Okay, now you have a choice.

If you join the hard left, they'll give you their list of authorized enemies. Almost all kinds of authorities, especially the police, city, Americans, judges, multi-national corporations, public schools, farriers, newspaper owners, fox hunters, generals, class traitors and of course, moderates.

Or if you'd rather be an extremist on the hard right, no problem, fine, you still get the lovely list of enemies, only they're different. Noisy minority groups, unions, Russia, weirdos, demonstrators, welfare sponges, meddlesome clergy, peaceniks, the BBC, strikers, social workers, Communists and of course, moderates. And upstart actors.

Now. Once you're armed with one of these super lists of enemies, you can be as nasty as you like and yet feel feel your behavior is morally justified.

So you can strut around, abusing people, and telling them you could eat them for breakfast and still think of yourself as a champion of the truth. A fighter for the greater good. And not the rather sad paranoid schizoid that you really are.


A fairly noble sentiment BUT it doesn't even last 3 posts...

Show me a Republican and I'll show you someone whose trying to please Democrats more than their own base. Show me a conservative and I'll show you someone who actually thinks.

Upon reading the DUmmy thread, OP and responses, I get the idea that the DUmmies believe fascism includes dehumanization.

If my reading and interpretation are correct, the following DUmmy OP seems odd (well, considering it's DUmmies, not really odd.)

 Donald Trump: 'Putin has eaten Obama's lunch' on Ukraine

Eun Kyung Kim
TODAY

Donald Trump slammed President Obama Thursday on TODAY for failing to take a stronger line against President Vladimir Putin in dealing with Ukraine, saying he feared Obama would now make up for lost time with imprudent moves to “show his manhood.”
 
The real estate mogul and reality-TV star, who has criticized Putin for sending military troops into Crimea, said Obama must now take fierce steps to prevent the situation from escalating further.
 
“We should definitely do sanctions and we have to show some strengths. I mean, Putin has eaten Obama’s lunch, therefore our lunch, for a long period of time,” Trump said. “I just hope that Obama, who’s not looking too good, doesn’t do something very foolish and very stupid to show his manhood.”

"Waaaaahhhhh!!!! Why isn't anyone talking about me?!"

Often it appears the DUmmies display a lack of consistency in what they profess to believe.  Perhaps it is the Cheeto dust.

The thing is, Trump may be exactly right.  So, in an attempt to 'show his manhood (and to possibly divert the American voting public away from the Obamacare disaster),' he may just order military action to be taken.  There's nothing we can do, short of an ICBM or twenty . . . :runaway: :runaway: :runaway:
