That, the notion ran, belonged to 20th century totalitarianism...the lesson had been learned. It could never happen again. One stupid right wing historian even claimed it was "...the end of history."<br /><br />Except it wasn't. It became a regurgitation of the same mad filth in different words coming from different demagogues in different suits. But still the same old evil corrupt lunacy. Long ago Umberto Eco saw it coming and dubbed it "urfascism."<br /><br />And here it is in all its rotten inglory. Perpetrated by tenth rate seedy second hand car salesmen and women, swallowed wholesale by ignorant fanatics, and tolerated by Micawbers incapable of genuine outrage and scared shitless of their own shadows.<br /><br />Great and good pastor Dietrich Boenhoffer said, "I stopped arguing with the Nazis when they became too stupid to argue with." We're not quite at that stage. But at the present rate it won't be long delayed.<br /><br />Laurence Rees knew what he was doing when he made the film documentary <i>The Nazis - A Warning From History.</i> So far it seems too many are ready to ignore the warning.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433144336299288135.post-51995599895509968842020-05-02T13:16:27.056+01:002020-05-02T13:16:27.056+01:00They just don't get it.

It's a shrinking trade and the world is soon going to be full of dozens of Mark Di Stefanos competing for one job on right wing outlets. The Rupert Murdochs of the world can pick & choose from them but even they are facing insurmountable problems. It's a Brave New World and right-wing pundits are about to find there is a surfeit of those who parrot their nonsense.Samnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433144336299288135.post-27708380881190419422020-05-02T13:00:58.484+01:002020-05-02T13:00:58.484+01:00In no particular order...
