Fashionably Fashy

“Not a single Roman work of art — sculpture, coinage, or painting — displays a salute of the kind that is found in Fascism, Nazism, and related ideologies… It is also unknown to Roman literature and is never mentioned by ancient historians of either republican or imperial Rome. The gesture of the raised right arm or hand in Roman and other ancient cultures that is attested in surviving art and literature had a significantly different function and is never identical with the modern straight-arm salute.”
— Martin Winkler, in “The Roman Salute: Cinema, History, Ideology”

…just in case you run into any fashy apologists or Musk symps trying to explain it away by saying it’s a “Roman Salute”.

So just cut the crap already, ‘cos all the wide-open fash are wide-open loving it and — like the original — the Early 21st sequel also features craven-ass collaborators, in the form of the Democratic Party.

Democracy Invaders

By mike flugennockThursday - August 15th, 2013Categories: elections, liberty, Party Animals

In 1979, the summer after I finished college, I encountered my first Space Invaders machine at the arcade in a bowling alley near a friend’s house. Between that and Galaxians, I pissed away more quarters than I care to think about.

But, enough nostalgia. This is another poster for the March Against Corruption scheduled to happen “everywhere” on November 2. Find out more about the event and help organize on Farcebook.
