so long as people like ace remain a quaint minority who cultivate the garden of neo-fascism in a blissful state of unknowing immediacy, the tendencies to substitute self-congratulation for argument and to draw validation from the fact of confrontation rather than from argument (either at the level of internal coherence or at that of descriptive power with respect to the world) are just funny.

but if people who think this way manage somehow to get power, useful tools for some corporate oligarchs (which is now the case) or not, then they'll be every bit as dangerous.

consider this new ace-ism about purity of belief and how it wards off "evil"----why lots of fine blonde boys from germany thought much the same way in the 1930s. that kind of thinking helped motivate the extermination of the left and homosexuals and the physically infirm. then it really started to unfold its special magic.

this thread is an even stronger argument than is the sarah palin (tm) show that the ultra right should never be allowed anywhere near power.
