Libelous Fatshitism
[Read the article: "We're all fascists now"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Here's the shorter version of this 496 page travesty:
Librul gays and vegetarians sowed,
The fascist path Hitler and Duce strode.
They'd rather start world wars,
Than eat steaks and buy whores;
That's fatshits history from Doughy Pantload.
Actually, I'm not convinced that this book is about fascism at all.
When you look at the first two incarnations of subtitles; "The Totalitarian Temptation from Mussolini to Hillary Clinton", and "The Totalitarian Temptation from Hegel to Whole Foods", and then add this quote from the book; "The white male is the Jew of liberal fascism", you have much of what currently drives the Republican party; the reactive fear and vilification of anything that doesn't conform with the conditioning and traditions of their shrinking sphere of social dominance, and their subsequent claims of victimization.
So outwardly Doughy Pantload is pretending to have authored a book about fascism but what he's really done is throw a barely concealed hissy which goes like this:
We once controlled the dominant sphere,
With the power that others revere.
But since history's slipped past us,
We're the Jew to your fascist;
You librul vegetarian queer.
The only honest thing Goldberg said in this interview was; "[George] Orwell says fascism has come to mean anything not desirable as early as 1946,..." and of course he's either too dishonest or too lacking in basic self-awareness to realize that Orwell's quote completely expresses the driving force behind his entire idiotic effort.
Or I guess you could sum the whole thing up with this quote from 'Family Guy'; "Look Lois, the two symbols of the Republican Party: an elephant, and a big fat white guy who is threatened by change."
That's what's going on here; the big fat white guy has taken everything he finds threatening and put it under the most unpleasant umbrella he could find and then cried victim.
It's not about fascism, it's about fatshitism.

"they're having everything done for them, they're being nannied almost into nonexistence. "
[Read the article: "We're all fascists now"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]You mean like, say, a Republican guy in his 30's who's already too soft and corpulent from a lack of vigorous, honest work because he's been given everything including his "career", which was given to him by his mommie? (I guess one could argue if one gets one's rear from mommy, why not one's career)
And who in turn acts as an emotional "nanny" for the latest crop of anal-cystian, other-prioritizing, macho posturing young Republican chicken hawks, by holding "lectures" entitled "Give War a Chance", while at the same time "they're having everything done for them" in that war by others.
And would that Republican feel like a "nanny" when he's assuring those young chest-beating cheerleaders (as well as himself) that the glaring gap between advocating and enlisting isn't really meaningful?
And when those young Republicans, who'll pick up a slogan but never a gun, look to this older wiser version of themselves to assuage and excuse that nagging feeling, that concomitant to the mixture of hypocrisy and cowardice that bubbles up from their subconcious even through the filter of denial, and offer up to him their myriad and mundane rationalizations of exemption - "I would but mom and dad always expected me to take over the business", etc - will he feel like a "nanny" as he pats them on the head with assurances that one can serve at home as well?

[Read more letters about this article: Here]And don't forget that fascist FDR was in league with the liberal fascist Republicans who held the majority in Congress at the time and decided with the blessing of the liberal fascist press to appease that liberal fascist Franco by not selling military arms to the liberal fascists fighting against Franco, thus handing a certain victory to Franco and by extension his liberal fascist backers, Hitler and Mussolini, emboldening them on their quest for liberal fascist domination and thus allowing the rest of the liberal fascist world to join in that great war against the liberal fascists Hitler and Mussolini, which we won, ensuring our freedom to choose our current ideology, liberal fascism.
Is it any wonder that the liberal fascist Picasso painted such obviously schizophrenic paintings such as Guernica what with liberal fascists being bombed to smithereens by liberal fascists?

[Read more letters about this article: Here]Liberal fascism (Genus) = all things disliked by the right.
Judicial activism (Species) = all judicial decisions disliked by the right.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]Sorry I wasn’t there yesterday when one of our paths almost crossed.
I roused myself to yell at a boy walking across the lawn. He was a new kid uninterested in my garden but eyeing my tree fortress without knowing the secret handshake. I warned him in the most obscure terms but he just scratched his head and stared.
I’m sure Angelonia angustifolia is a pretty plant.
Angelina Augustino was a pretty girl. She moved to Chicago from the Bronx in the sixth grade. She stood very erect and wore pointy shoes and smelled like apples. But I didn’t deflower her. And I never considered deadheading her under any circumstances.
I have experienced, though. I have had both a whore and a culturalist, both of whom were breeders themselves with stout stems.
And since you brought it up I also had a ‘B’ magnet. I remember it on the refrigerator even before I got language. Where were the other (25?). Indeed, I don’t know everything.
In fact sometimes I can’t see the forest to spite my face. Who nose – analogyplasty? Then again cryptonicity? Don’t sue flowers - Betty Sue Flowers - James Crumley - The Last Good Kiss - Richard Hugo - Degrees of Gray in Philipsburg, a beautiful poem for you. In return for the Gardens of Athens.
