"For fascists, politics is about friends and enemies"



"'Always find simple slogans to repeat again and again to divide your listeners into us and them.' So says [historian] Timothy Snyder.
    "Or, as [they say], 'create the correct narrative.'
    "'Politics is about friends and enemies,' that’s a basic fascist idea. Like, 'I’m good and so are my friends but neoliberals are just evil.'
    "Fascism is indeed returning by those strictures – but who are the fascists?"

~ Tim Worstall, from his post 'Fascism Handbook'

We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
