America Über Alles

Americans love fascism like a baby loves its mama. We talk a lot about freedom and democracy, but in our everyday lives brutal idiocy pretty much rules the day. American life is conformist, dictatorial, stupid and proud of it. We are lazy minded, hateful fucks. Kill first and ask questions later ... IF Jerry Bruckheimer makes a movie of the week about it. He won't.

I've seen one workplace after another where any kind of education is despised by the ignorant assholes who managed to get just slightly ahead of the curve by not going to college and just work their way up from the bottom to just above the bottom. This includes newspapers where SOMEBODY in charge should have gone to college at some point. But then education interferes with one's ability to not question authority.

American fascism is all about pride of ignorance, baby. We've got it in spades.
