Reply #32: Yet another sign of fascism- [View All]

[windoe]

desensitivity to violence, mysogyny and sexual repression, and the banning of pleasure, ecstasy and free thought.
When I was young and first saw pictures of the holocaust and read about the violence at the Roman colloseum, I was shocked at how sick and depraved humans could become. I knew then these were the signs of a truly sick society, and never thought I would ever live through it.
How we got here has been discussed at great length here at DU. Fascism also works best when people are asleep, afraid and hopeless. So it is in our best interest to stay awake, to awaken our children, and to replace fear with education, respect, compassion and justice. Then perhaps there can be another rennaissance of love in art.
