Youtube fasc...patriotism
« on: November 13, 2010, 12:54:58 pm »

Just felt like sharing this nice fascist freedom-loving propaganda patriotic music video:

..and a parody obviously made by a bunch of commies:

Or was it the other way around? I'm not sure. They are so alike.  ;D

I should probably have my head checked, because I find myself in complete agreement with Nikov.

Anyway, I fail to how this is supposed to be fascist.
Propaganda I get, but not the fascism part.

I suppose one could certainly complain there are better uses of tax dollars, but as far as propaganda goes this is pretty ignorable.

Hardly counts as a song, I'd say. More of a chant. Possibly even a rap.

No using. That's not what freedom is for.

Doesn't really look like patriotism either, it's just a celebration of military force in general, right?

I'm not entirely sure what you're suggesting here, but I'm thinking it has something to do with you being European.

While millitary culture sometimes makes me worry about the state of the US Armed Forces, I don't see what this has to do with facism.

Nah, I get it. It doesn't actually say anything good about the US. There's no actual patriotic content. I could be wrong but I don't think I heard the word freedom once. No democracy, no free market, no eagle, no flag, nothin'. Just a bunch of "Whoo! We love guns. We love to use the guns that we love to shoot the enemies we hate who are evil!"

Yeah, I definitely couldn't call this "fascist," though it's certainly not to my taste.

I kind of wonder who's buying it, though.  I'm also wondering if it actually succeeds in pumping anyone up.

Well, it's target audiance is quite obviously soliders, so... anyone here in/used to be in the US Millitary have any comment on this?

The youtube commenters seem to be liking it, or at least half of them are.

Yeah, probably.  I just figure that the [Insert branch of military here]'s creed would be more effective.
