  For all the bluster about the US taking down fascism in World War II, it is with ghastly irony that you have these figures within US society, like Karp and Zamiska, who out right advocate for basically racism and fascism. They simply couch their recycled old bigotry into the vague, covert lingo of the modern post-civil rights America.

  But, they project what they want in society. They want less regulation upon themselves, they want more military contracts with the US government, they want the public to give more credibility to the power of their surveillance software, they want the draft so their software can go far and wide, and they want the ability to pay people less and to ask them to work more.

  Then they go on to make some obligatory comment about how America has brought such peace and prosperity. And, somewhat tellingly, they wax nostalgia for fascist Germany and Japan. They just don’t say it in so few words. When the US SCOTUS declared that money can translate into political power, these unqualified persons are the symptoms.

  I keep asking what the ASEAN members are thinking when they see this garbage while they’re days away from running out of gas and diesel.
