An oldie, to be sure. Not really this angry anymore, but it’s still fun to share. Enjoy…

Fascism is fundamentally a dictatorial practice, which means that if you feel that everybody should think like you do on a particular issue AND you wish to implement some sort of regulation, force, or social stigma in order to engage your cause as status quo, then you’re in the club. I bet it would soothe you to know that you’re in a rather large club, wouldn’t it? Still in denial? Well, then, please goosestep with me through the remaining paragraphs.

First of all, I could care less how noble or “just” you feel your cause is. Ultimately (and this may be the rude awakening for some dreamy-eyed “revolutionaries”), not everyone is going to dig your little jamboree. The causists cry for education, but WHOSE education will be disseminated? Yours? Mine? And isn’t the broad assumption here that there exists (tee-hee) a universal definition of right (ho-ho) and wrong (ha-ha-ha)? How will you deal with the rebel elements in your politically-correct world? Prison camps? Gas chambers? BIBLE CLASS? Face it, children… the environmental and genetic differences (regardless of what labels you wish to give them) determine that we as humans are not all going to pop out of the uteral factory as precision-correct replicas. Want everyone to agree and live in harmony with humankind? Slash the earth’s human numbers down to one. There’s your world peace.

Providing room for all cultures and ideologies to exist would be beneficial. I’d like to see it, if it means leaving me alone for once. But, it’s hardly ever in anyone’s plan. (And, of course, there would be war and conflict, but that’ll happen no matter what you do.) The subjugation of non-compliant individuals will naturally occur and has been shown in nearly every arena throughout human history. The White supremacists want to dominate and control the social views towards African-Americans and others, yet our government and related social establishments respond by controlling White supremacists by restricting their passage to media sources such as public access cable and the Internet. People talking and people acting are two separate acts, yet most are too insecure to want to see that. Guilty before proven innocent.

I must interject here and state that I am not concerned with the moralistic implications of my examples used in this essay. Morals are personal and really have nothing to do with this subject, with the exception that each group’s morals often fuel their respective causes. I rather not play such a useless game. Or such a collective one.

Self-fascism. It has a delicious ring to it. My Reich. A pogrom against your expectations of me. I will subjugate all of you who wish to be subjugated by eradicating your impositions, and subjecting you to my existence by merely being. And, why not. A great deal of you live to be subjugated. Those cramped in boxes you collectively envelope yourselves in, safeguarding yourselves from facing anyone who personally rejects such limitations. Admit it. Most of you loathe independent thinking because no one’s there to tell you that it’s okay to do so. Some of you need your Hitlers, your Christs, your MTVs, your well-practiced poses, and your “alternative” or “underground” icons to give you strength. How uncomfortable it must feel to lack confines. All of those rules, the dress codes, the “exclusivity” of liking the “cool” bands. Trade the status quo for a smaller strain of the same thing and feel oh-so-free. You’re the perfect paradigm for what I DON’T want to be and it’s the only thing I’ll thank you for. As it stands, I’m on this dirtball to impress myself. No other.
