My own feeling is that Nixon really is a turning point where fascism
becomes the international face of America, That he was so immersed in
corporate power, military power and the power of ultra nationalist
scapegoatism that there was no inner debate( If the president
does,it it's legal), no possibility of the serious self doubt you can
see in other presidents. He had participated in the internalizing ,
and externalizing (in a patriotic anti-communist cult of politics)
hypocrisy in the form of American exceptionalism to the point that
no amount of killing or betrayal of democratic principles was
problematic. This he paired with a willingness to compromise in any
area where he saw a real populist threat. He was smarter and more
effective than Hitler in extending his nations imperial power and the
power of the executive branch, the rise of Milton Friedman to
economic demigod.
Nixon set the agenda for the Reagan Bush Clinton years. Use money
and threats whenever possible and keep the 3rd world "niggers" down,
the concentration camps at the ready.
What is the connection between the Golden Fang and Nixon Bucks?
Freedom is owning a yacht that never gets old, never gets stains, can
never be found guilty of a crime. Freedom is drilling where you
want, when you want, as much as you want because you own the mineral
rights to other people's lives. Freedom is printing your own money ,
importing your own painkillers at a profit, trading cardboard for
Malibu Mansions. Freedom is finding out anything about anyone
anytime. Freedom is having the Fraternal Order of Police on your
side when you need things to have a Fiendish Oriental Provenance.
Freedom is when your victims internalize the desire to be eaten.
Freedom is the ability to fuck who you want when you want and still
be faithfully married, a virgin with a full set of sexy ties.
Freedom is an amazing collection of barbed-wire to impress your
friends and neighbors. It may look like fascism to some , but if
it's fascism for freedom , you better start digging.... it.
And just to update to the present hour, freedom with a small f
will come when all men in every uniform all say when they are
commanded by the local commander in chief to kill a poor man , a
black girl, or a smartass Jew, Fuck You! and Fuck your dog too!
