In which Our Friend Damien proves beyond any shadow of a doubt that he doesn’t know what “fascist” means. But certainly we would be remiss if we did not help him complete his list. And, for the purposes of improving the obvious gaps in his education, recommend that he read I Fascisti by Giordano Bruno Guerri and Liberal Fascism by Jonah Goldberg. At the very least, he would do well to read my translation of “Il manifesto dei fasci di combattimento”, penned by Mussolini himself, to better understand who is, and who is not, fascistic, paying particular attention to the very first plank of the program.

@CoraBuhlert I think the Oh No John Ringo meme suggests he is.Cora Buhlert @CoraBuhlert
@damiengwalter Not as jerky as the others who will flood you with trolls.
The amusing thing is that Damien has been repeatedly writing about Larry Correia and me in The Guardian, he just normally pretends to be writing about some mysterious Voldemortean figures Who Shall Not Be Named, whose secret identities only the PC cognoscenti may be permitted to know. But a point-and-shriek routine isn’t very effective when one only shrieks and refuses to actually point at anyone. So, for all that the charge of fascism is risibly inaccurate, it would arguably be a step forward.
Perhaps one day Damien will even reach the point where he feels comfortable doing the journalistically responsible thing and actually ask a question or two of his targets instead of repeatedly engaging in the conventional left-wing spin cycle into which no genuine information is permitted to penetrate.
In any event, who is Damien missing? He appears to have most of the Evil League of Evil already covered. Except M-Zed, of course, who will be mortally wounded at being overlooked.
