Proto-Fascist Panopticon Of The Mind

Many believe fascism will come to the United States of America resembling
contrived spectacles such as The Super Bowl, The Academy Awards, and
American Idol, with the proceedings intercut with teary, yet ultimately
triumphant, Oprahesque tales of how redemption can be gained through the
renunciation of one's rights, liberties, as well as, the dutiful turning in
of one's subversive neighbors.
Don't reach for that remote, folks: It's already here.
Our journey to fascism began at the end of The Second World War when the
tenets of the hyper-commercialized entertainment/military/corporate state
became sacrosanct by means of our internalization of it from constant mass
media reinforcement. What purported to be only a message from our sponsors
metastasized into the twenty-four/seven, corporatized UberCulture of the
present day. The Revolution will not be televised - because The Corporatist
Coup is being continually broadcast.
