Friendly Fascism

#Bigbusiness and government. Distract us with #entertainment. They manufacture our consent. While we destroy the #environment. #FriendlyFascism by #Consolidated around 1991 if recall correctly. I think they sang this as a warning, not as a blueprint. #music #industrial #hiphop #alternative #rock

#Consolidated warned us starting in 1991, and yet here we are . . . #FriendlyFascism https://youtu.be/Pf10u0IIHdQ #Fascism #Drumpf #Merz #LePen #Wilders #Resist #SpeakUp

Another time, just changed faces, the same warnings and, believe me, they were not new then. So, what's on the mind of a frustration-driven old guy like me?

Consolidated, song "Friendly Fa$cism" on "Friendly Fa$cism", Apr. 26, 1991:

[EN] "Welcome Ladies and Gentlemen
To the end of the twentieth century and the arrival of friendly fascism
Regrettably, millions will die as before
But just think of the tremendous selection and savings you'll gain

Of course the loss of freedom and democracy are tragedies, I know
But consider the entertainment value contained within

And to remind you, it is you, the people
Who have mandated this course of our fate"

[DE] (translated) "Willkommen, meine Damen und Herren
zum Ende des zwanzigsten Jahrhunderts und der Ankunft des freundlichen Faschismus
Bedauerlicherweise werden Millionen sterben wie bisher
Aber denken Sie nur an die riesige Auswahl und die Einsparungen, die Sie haben werden

Natürlich ist der Verlust von Freiheit und Demokratie eine Tragödie, ich weiß
Doch bedenkt den Unterhaltungswert, der darin steckt

Und um euch daran zu erinnern, ihr seid es, das Volk,
das diesen Kurs unseres Schicksals bestimmt hat"
