Do not make the mistake of thinking that because my conclusion is the same as another person's that my reasoning is the same
On fascism
David Neiwert, a freelance journalist, maintains a blog called Orcinus, in which he's presented what I think is an important analysis of the developing fascist tendancies of the right.
These tendancies are a major reason I started this blog. I enjoy writing and research, so I thought I'd be putting together something about this problem myself. But it's important enough that I'll put my personal pleasure aside when it's covered so well by someone else.
I've already posted an essay that explains the rise of Hitler's extensive control over the German citizenry in a way that makes the parallels between that and the current situation in the USofA obvious and undeniable. But Mr. Neiwert rounds up the current state of affairs, and if it doesn't at least make you nervous you're just not thinking.

He's also posted feedback he's received from this series, some of which is well worth searching out. He's also promised to wrap the whole series up into a PDF, which I'm looking forward to.
