Cross the intermemers at your own peril. CNN lives a lie, but even that is less stupid than their assault on the Reddit user.

Hitler acted with more coherence than CNN. Saying that CNN is Hitler is besmirching Hitler.

I thought you would see the significance of this, Gerard. This is the first time in years, in thousands of Hitler parodies, that someone has done something new and interesting.

We ignore these kids on the alt-right at our peril. Some of them are absolutely brilliant at polemics. There’s at least one song parodist who is brilliant. And they are reaching millenial males, in ways, both good and bad, that we boomers couldn’t possibly emulate

Well… I did note “Added Graphic Goodness” which rather hints broadly in that direction. But still it is nice for you to spell it out since it helps me to focus on that issue. Thanks.

Only by Fire is Fascism Finished

Year upon year in Earth’s darker forests,
Heaped at the foot of the trees,
Dry drifts of wood rot and leaf fall increase
Which sunlight shall never seize.

The vampire by sunlight or stake.
The wolfman by silver in bone.
The demon by bell, book, and pentagram.
The fascist by fire alone.

The ash that descends in the September skies
Where the leapers swam down the stones?
Best answered by bombs from mid-heaven at prayer
With that fire which hollows the bones.

The vampire by sunlight or stake.
The wolfman by silver in bone.
The demon by bell, book, and pentagram.
The fascist by fire alone.

If their god decrees war, God’s war shall prevail.
His lessons are seared in His stone.
No dreams shall defer, nor wishes erase,
The answers that burn in the bone.

The vampire by sunlight or stake.
The wolfman by silver in bone.
The demon by bell, book, and pentagram.
The fascist by fire alone.

Only by Fire is Fascism Finished.
This Sin is demanded that Your Line may Live.
Only through Fire is Freedom Reborn.
Each generation pulls the Sword from the Stone.

Van der Leun: The Normblog Bio of Your Host“From a student radical/hippie/leftist of the Free Speech Movement/Vietnam Day Commitee era and a full-on Democratic Liberal in the decades after, I think I’ve evolved a politics that is neither right nor left but is, in its elemental nature, draconian. In the last 20 years, I’ve taken apart my beliefs with a sledgehammer. Now I’ve got to put the surviving parts back together with tweezers and other ‘shabby equipment, always deteriorating’.”
