The
following is a checklist to determine if one is a Fascist, and the
powers that be in Malaysia fits the bill, well almost. It is slowly
turning into a Fascist regime. God help us all!
Def ~ Fascism -
often capitalized : a political philosophy, movement, or regime (as
that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the
individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government
headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social
regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition.
Are you a
fascist? Many people are fascists and they don’t even realize it. And
sometimes, they know it all too well, but hide and deny it. Most of the
time though, it’s obvious who the fascists are. For instance, you might
be a fascist if…
1. You are obsessed with national power and
pride and believe your country doesn’t have to follow the rules and
shouldn’t ever apologize for doing things that are wrong. You think your
nation can do whatever it wants.
2. You believe in the rule of
the few, election rigging, political decisions being made by a select
group of officials behind closed doors, embrace the informal and
unregulated exercise of political power, arbitrary deprivation of civil
liberties, and little tolerance for meaningful opposition.
3.
You believe in survival of the fittest, an every man for himself
mentality that causes you to believe that poor people and sick people
are weak and must be punished. You think rich people are strong because
they are wealthy and that they should rule us. You also believe your
race is superior to all others.
4. You use the media as a
political propaganda machine to target a specific audience and to push
your agenda on others. You make sure the media demonizes your opponents
and takes your side on nearly every issue. You use your propaganda
machine to play on the fears of others.
5. You are obsessed
with security, and war. You feed this obsession by spending trillions of
dollars building up a large military force and are willing to sacrifice
domestic programs your people count on to keep your military huge. You
start unnecessary and costly wars and you are paranoid of other nations.
6. You are driven to indoctrinate others into your way of thinking. So
much so, that you try to re-write history, change the way school
children are taught and you brainwash the ignorant. You use your
propaganda machine as a tool to achieve this.
7. You fear and
demonize intelligent people who have a higher education because they are
the ones who can thwart your effort to brainwash people. You then
attempt to prevent others from achieving a higher education because you
want the people as ignorant as possible so you can convince them that
your way is the right way.
8. You have a deep hatred and fear
of communists and you instill your followers with hatred and fear of
others by accusing your political opponents of being communists. This
gives you an easy scapegoat to blame when things go wrong. Any person or
policy you don’t like is branded as communism.
9. You
disrespect women and think their place is in the home. You believe women
are weak and cannot do things that men do. You believe that sexual
harassment or assault is no big deal and that the only thing women are
good for is cooking meals and having babies.
10. You strongly
align yourself with corporations and you support corporate money and
influence in government. You despise government regulations that keep
corporations honest because you believe everything should be controlled
by the free market and that corporations should be allowed to do
whatever they please.
11. You are obsessed with religion. You
seek to declare and to impose religious laws on all the people across
the country. You believe other religions are inferior and that those who
practice them should either be converted or destroyed.
12. You
believe your race is superior and seek to disenfranchise or humiliate
other races. You believe in legalized discrimination and fantasize about
a return to times when the races were separate or when those of color
were enslaved. You use code words in an attempt to hide your racism and
you make laws that weaken the influence of those of color. Immigration
and voting laws in particular.
13. You absolutely despise
unions. To you and those like you, labor unions represent the
empowerment of workers. Since you believe corporations can do whatever
they want, you see organized labor as a threat because they fight for
higher wages, health care, safety regulations, less hours, vacations,
sick days, and holidays off. This obviously threatens the amount of
money corporations can give to you and your cause so you brand unions as
proponents of socialism/communism and make laws that severely weaken
them so that corporations can have a cheap, mindless labor force.
14. You are obsessed with crime and a major supporter of punishing
those who commit crimes. So much so, that you don’t care about the
concept of ‘innocent until proven guilty.’ You are proud of executing
people and aren’t bothered if an innocent person is killed. You seek to
make harsher laws, especially laws that target specific groups of people
such as immigrants, women, and people of color. You also oppose human
rights and using humane interrogation tactics and you seek to undermine
the independent judiciary.
15. You believe every election
should go your way and to reach that goal, you push voting laws that
disenfranchise those who traditionally vote for opponents such as people
of color, the elderly, college students, and the poor. You even stoop
to fixing elections in some cases and complain when your opponents
challenge the vote counts.
16. You believe in rewarding your
friends with positions when you gain power and you reward those who
support you with government contracts and money, especially
corporations. You also do your best to aid your supporters in any way
you can, such as repealing undesirable pieces of legislation and
regulations. You often have something to gain financially from this.
17. You create scapegoats to blame when problems arise. Whether it’s
communists, socialists, the West, minorities, homosexuals, the poor,
foreigners, immigrants, one thing is for certain. You and your
propaganda tool will blame each and every one of those groups for bad
things that happen even if you were the cause of the problems in the
first place.
18. You take advantage of a national disaster such
as an economic collapse or an attack to demonize your opponents and
push your agenda. You use these events to strike fear into the
population in an attempt to scare people into voting for you and your
cause. It’s all about fear and scare tactics.
