Hey, look folks, it can be great fun being a Fascist....as long as you're winning, that is.

It works like this...

You get to make big, impressive patriotic speeches and cause people to cheer wildly!

You get hailed as the saviour of the nation, and the defender of liberty, freedom, truth, justice, and every other great thing like that.

You get to wear military uniforms and medals, and strut around like a hero, even if you've never been under fire.

As a fascist soldier, you get to visit and bomb the shit out of interesting faraway places, and you get to liberate suffering foreigners who talk funny from their corrupt rulers.

You get to use high tech killing equipment...the best money can buy.

You get to defend your country and all that it stands for.

You experience the adrenalin rush that goes with knowing that all that is good and decent hangs on the speed of your trigger finger.

It's almost as good as starring in a Rambo movie.

The only thing that can cause all of the above to go totally sour is when you get shot...or when your side starts losing! The latter can happen when your side acquires too many enemies, and fascists do tend to acquire an awful lot of enemies as time goes by...for some reason. (?)


As for fascism on Mudcat...(yawn)...well, sure. There is a little power-hungry latent fascist lurking in the heart of everyone, just waiting to burst out and take over, and that happens on Internet forums, in churches, in political parties, and in Boy Scout meetings.

The fascism in the American government worries me far more than the fascism on Mudcat Cafe. I can avoid being affected by Mudcat Cafe simply by logging off and doing something else.
