A party that celebrates the death of the other

[nadinbrzezinski]

A hard right core party that fits all the descriptions of a mass movement enthralled with death. A party fascinated by Thanatos. No, not The Nazis, the modern GOP. this by the way is a characteristic of fascism. Time to truly call these quacking ducks, well..ducks.

4. No, but the Tea Party would win, THEN they'd cover it, because now they're AMERICAN values

3. The Phrase "Doubleplus-Ungood Duckspeaker" Comes to Mind for Some Reason

5. Do you mean celebrating deaths of other people in general or death of the "other" in particular?

The "others" being gays, blacks/browns, immigrants, etc.? People who aren't like "us"?

6. Eric Fromm Dissected This in "The Anatomy of Human Destructiveness"

He discusses people who have a fascination with death. One of the characteristics is emphasizing memorials for the dead (today, think 9-11). He also ties it specifically with fascism.
