Enough With The “Fascism” Already

(any resemblance to Stephanie is strictly coincidental)

The army of fascist gnomes, created – according to the “artist” – in order to protest fascism is the kind of thing that really grinds my gears. Can we please stop protesting fascism already and move on to the next pointless protest? I mean, protesting fascism in 2009 is about as effective and relevant as protesting the depredations of the Mongol hordes or rampant corruption in Italian city-states. Let’s move along already!

(I know that I’m preaching to the choir here, but few things are quite so satisfying as a good rant). If the guy was protesting fascism as Jonah Goldberg defines the term, i.e., today’s liberal fascists, I would be tempted to recruit my own army of protesting gnomes and would encourage you, dear readers, to do the same. But that’s not what this guy means. It’s not what any of them mean. They are afraid of anybody from the right, certain that George W. Bush, or Mitt Romney, or Sarah Palin (just got a visual of Palin in one of those naughty Nazi dancer costumes from “The Producers” – rrrroowwwrrr) represent the kind of thought that is a short step away from Uncle Adolf’s fantasies. I say to these people: “GET OVER IT!”

Fascism is dead, crushed under weight of T-34 tanks, Lancaster bombers and the boots of the 101^st Airborne.

HITLER IS DEAD.

MUSSOLINI IS DEAD.

JUAN DOMINGO PERON IS DEAD.

GENERALISSIMO FRANCISCO FRANCO IS STILL DEAD.

NEIDERMEYER? DEAD! (Killed in Viet Nam by his own troops).

There are a bazillion things that are f**ked up beyond recognition in the world. An ultra-right wing, racist take-over of western civilization is not among them. So get your intellectually-lazy, nanny-state-loving, misinformed ass out of your garage making molds of fascist nazi gnomes that will get in everybody’s god-damned way when they’re on their way to do actual work that – oh yeah – generates enough tax revenue to keep your smelly feet encased in new sandals thanks to the government paying for your “right” to be enrolled in the “Birkenstock of the Month Club” and DO SOMETHING BLOODY USEFUL FOR A CHANGE!!!

Thanks.

I feel better now.
