Opinion - Blip on the Radar (1)
Background:
I'm often surprised how folk today only think in terms of the negative connotations with the concept of Fascism. Or Fascist.
The word has been deliberately turned by our perfidious enemies into some sort of vulgar epithet. Thus you will read people calling somebody a 'Fascist Nazi Communist'. That's... well, not real smart. (Fascism has, to the contrary, often bravely fought the excesses and genocidal cruelties of Communism). Fascism has a very long, honorable tradition. If you don't believe me, check out the rather excellent overview of Fascism in the key article, here: https://fascipedia.org/index.php/Fascism. If you read that with an open mind? I submit you will see that principles of Fascism embody some of the highest, and most noble ideas and principles of Man. And those ideas and desiderata have often infused our very own History. Were mistakes also made? Sure! But show me any ideology, outlook, or popular movement that is perfect, please.
A Fascist, I submit, lives in respect and awe, for his brief little wander through this short, but fascinating life. A Fascist should respect Nature, live in awe of the Universe, and seek God (however he perceives Him), with an honest heart. The (true) story you will find in the link, below, in one sense, you might say, has nothing at all to do with Fascism. You might dismiss it as the wandering journey of a scarred man, trying to find his way. However, in another sense? It embodies the spirit of Fascism. The steady seeking. The relentless measuring of puny self, against Nature, the Universe, Life, and Death. Many a Fascist has walked a rocky, winding road. At times, despairing. Imbued, with a terrible sense of futility. His pilgrimage has taken him past steep drops, high mountains, breathtaking vistas, and unknown dangers. With shadows, perhaps? Some compassionate, others darkly malevolent? Silently, watching, his every move.
Friend, do not mock the Fascist. For many are true seekers. Good hearts. Good intentions.
Lest you find, one day, that you were in fact mocking?
Your very own, good self...
