Dave Futrelle has an excellent post about our current state of fascism. It’s based on Umberto Eco’s essay on Ur-fascism, or Eternal Fascism. In the essay, Eco writes about the 14 point checklist of fascism, and it’s rather obvious we can tick them all off. If you want the short form, click over to Dave’s post, complete with examples from Trump and his followers, or you can go straight to Umberto Eco’s essay. They both need to be read, and taken seriously.

I had a nice bitter laugh about the point on international conspiracy, considering certain links to the Russian oligarchy sorry I meant media.

Yeah. That checklist…very scary.

Hey, it’s great to see that you used some of my art on your blog, but I would appreciate being credited. I have never worked for and am not connected to Ground Zero Media in any way, and if they stole from me and sold it to you, let me know so I can take action if this is theft. This is from an old project and I just ask to be credited if it’s used.
