    And what makes you different than the fascists you hate at that point?

    What you may have missed in your upbringing is that people that do bad things do not think of themselves as bad people. They think of themselves as selfless heroes working for the common good.

    Oftentimes the truth is far messier bloodier and dirtier than clean black and white divides. For instance your penchance for authoritarian action puts you closer to their camp than mine. I'm sure you'd make a wonderfuly self content beefstake Nazi.

    The actual problem isn't the fascists on the streets. It's the the fascists in the banks and Congress and the idiots like you feeding the reinforcement loop.
