Real World Address
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

An aesthetic triumph! They make it look so easy.
I admire the Japanese: they have a unitary culture.
I’d admire them even more if I could figure out what that culture is! It seems that their countrymen often they have the same problem as I do, they don’t know what to make of it either.
The nuke question doesn’t come into play here; this is kind of funny — the hyper-energetic, rock star tambourine solo is classic comic justa-position.
As for the odd mannerisms at the start, that’s may be a spoof on traditional over-elaborate rituals, like the Japanese tea ritual
Need to wash my eyes out.
