"I believe in a far right-authoritarian government. No, I am not a fascist."

"I believe in hitting a small white ball into holes with a specially designed stick. No, I am not a golfer". People who believe in far right authoritarian government is the definition of a fascist, you fascist. Words mean things.

"We want to take back the country and re-establish a Christ-like nation,” Clodfelter asserted.

So...a nation where rich people voluntarily give away all their money? Care of poor and vulnerable people is prioritised over profit? Compassion, humility and forgiveness are prized, and judging others is frowned on? Performative religious observance is regarded with disgust? Love of money is explicitly condemned as the root of all evil? Those who hurt others are shunned? Everyone does their best to live by the actual teachings of Christ?

IOW, the exact opposite of what you want.

There's some very disturbing articles about how some men treat realistic sex dolls. Repairers frequently see stab "wounds". These people need therapy, not sex.

No, I am not a fascist. No, I am not a white supremacist. No, I am not a Nazi. But...

Where have we seen that before? Whatever comes after the "but..." is never something you want to hear.

Fuentes makes claims of absolutely memorable idiocy - to wit:

“If we’re really being honest, never having a girlfriend, never having sex with a woman really makes you more heterosexual because honestly, dating women is gay. (Men) having sex with women is gay.”

How he constructed that is…..beyond my ken. I mean, it indicates a very broken brain….

I would read the hell out of that.

Though Wodehouse did write his own parody of Oswald Mosley, sir Roderick Spode, who ends up with complete halfwit Madeleine Basset…..and in the novels/stories, his followers wear black shorts, which leads to mockery and brilliantly funny prose that’s among Wodehouse’s best.

He so sounds like a particular guy at school, a poisonous little shit, who was generally outside looking in (this was the early eighties).

He grew more poisonous as he got older. His FB is a cesspool….all bc he is bitter that he couldn’t get laid as an undergraduate.

And tried to build themselves up by lying about who they were f@cking, and occasionally receiving a beatdown for doing so - in one case, from the woman he’d maligned.

The golden rule is basically “don’t be an asshole” with a no-escape clause.

The religious generally always want that escape clause - an exception to do violence unto those they don’t like.

All you need to do is cite Liberty Looniversity; the crap education that comes out of that school barely prepares its rooked graduates to work at a 7-11 that gets knocked over every Thursday.
