An argument often made in favor of Mussolini, that could easily apply to the Covidian Cult, is that “he made the trains run on time”.
In other words, he brought order from chaos. Julius Caesar, Imperial Rome’s first Dictator/King/Emperor, stopped all the ineffective squabbling in the Roman Senate, and he GOT THINGS DONE.
Looking at all the patent disinformation, lies, personal attacks, and self righteous propaganda on the topic of this not very dangerous disease, it is easy to conclude–and this is in fact my view–that hordes of people, masses of people, entire newspapers, and television programs, and websites, etc etc. have concluded that the only way to get the OUTCOME they want, which is a shut down of the economy and severe curtailment of personal liberty, is to make sure they ALL SAY THE SAME THING, AND KEEP ANYONE FROM CONTRADICTING THEM.
Now, this applies even if they are wrong. Especially if they are wrong. But what, you might ask, is the point, if the point was not following the science? This is a valid and unanswerable question, outside of the Fascist mindset, which sees beauty in armies of various sorts synchronized in lockstep, marching to beat of the same drummer.
Fascism, recall, is–according to the guy who INVENTED IT–“Everything inside the State; nothing outside the State; nothing against the State.”
Substitute “Narrative” for State, and you get what we have been seeing daily for over a year.
Science and democracy are both messy. They lack clean lines. Both, when healthy, often look like people yelling and arguing with each other. But the intent and reality is that this struggling amounts to what might be termed Informational Evolution, in which, in the end, only that is left standing which has the intelligence and fact base not to flow away and melt under examination.
Preventing examination, preventing debate, is thus FUNDAMENTALLY Fascist, in a formal sense. It is crime committed because of an emotional, even religious, attachment to people and ideas which WILL NOT WITHSTAND SCRUTINY.
I am not calling for this, and this is not what I want, at all, but morally Fauci warrants the same fate as Mussolini. It is that bad in my view.
What I want is an honest investigation, and his public humiliation. I want him to lose his medical license, his job, and most of his wealth (in lawsuits).
