Honestly I would love to get some basic agreement on what “fascism” actually is. Ditto “socialism”. They are used as epithets with often very little understanding of the real meaning.

Of course they’re doing this. They think unhealthy equals weak. Which part of fascism - a political cult that worships aggression and power, hating those they perceive as physically or emotionally “weak” (ie not aggressive) and casting them as the internal enemy - do you not get??

See this is one of the issues with the American system. They have to vote for one person so they express that person to be EXTRAORDINARY. Everything flows from that one person. Whereas in the Westminster system, while the leader is important, it’s not I AM VOTING FOR PM, we are voting for

 and music has caused Fogerty since these songs were first recorded. Try Proud Mary, the original and John’s Version. I know Tina owned that, even Fogerty agreed, but like Aretha’s hijacking of Respect, the original still stands on its own and this new version is very worthy.

If you’re not listening to John Fogerty’s re-recording of Creedence (John’s Version) catalogue
 then you’re missing out. If you like Creedence, even some of the big ones, listen to that song in John’s version. It’s somehow stripped back but still all there, with layers of the pain life

The only thing that stopped this happening before was shame and money. They don’t care if they’re doing something “illegal” because they don’t believe in those laws. And they have the money to pay all the legal fees. A negative ruling is actually good for them.

Doing things legally isn’t the plan though. They want to break the laws they don’t like, then go to court, and appeal until they get to the supreme court, which will then strike down any law they don’t like. It’s a win win, they get to do what they like now & they get to change the law.
