So i should be aware of the dangers of self-consciousness, but at the same time, i’ll be plowing through the fog of all these echoes, plowing through mixed metaphors, noise, and will try to show the core, which is still there, as a core, and is valid, despite the fog. the core is the core is the core. there is always the core, that can’t be articulated. only caricatured.

I really am a pessimist. i've always felt that fascism is a more natural governmental condition than democracy. democracy is a grace. it's something essentially splendid because it's not at all routine or automatic. fascism goes back to our infancy and childhood, where we were always told how to live. we were told, yes, you may do this; no, you may not do that. so the secret of fascism is that it has this appeal to people whose later lives are not satisfactory.
