It's astonishing how easy it can be to be a fascist, isn't it. And not so astonishing how easy it is to use the label as political abuse.

And that stuff you quoted -- it makes sense. It can't just be dismissed. I wouldn't be surprised if there were some flaws in the arguments, and nasty hidden assumptions, but that's a part of politics of any sort.

Some people don't like rational argument. It hurts their brains and gets in the way of the football and tinnies.
