$Remembrance Day: Remember to Refract$

http://www.according2ed.com/2009/11/r...

“At this time of year we remember all those who have lost their lives in conflicts around the world both past and present. You can leave a message on a virtual poppy anywhere in the world to remember those who gave the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom.” Goes the ‘Plant a virtual Poppy’ appeal on BritishLegion.org.uk. I can’t say that I like this association between performing the ‘ultimate sacrifice’ and ‘our freedom’. It strikes me as awfully Orwellian for what is left unsaid – ‘at the behest of the state despite what the rest of you buggers have to say’. I mean, it’s not like a referendum was held was it? Before going on to asking what ‘ultimate sacrifices’ had been made in wars, shouldn’t we be asking what oversights had led to the war? Or does the term ‘ultimate’ in ‘ultimate sacrifice’ serve as an implicit admonishment of those who dare to question beyond the unquestionable ‘ultimate’ –thus presenting the entire divide in terms of a, ‘you’re either with us or against us’. So all it takes for a cause to be for ‘freedom’ is the death of a soldier?

How Fascism can deliver Gay Rights : when it's alright to be Gay but not Indian

http://www.according2ed.com/2009/11/h...

Some have stated that the rise in racial intolerance in the UK can increase the generic incidence of intolerance and impact negatively on gay rights. Quite, but... …it could also be said that the rise of racial intolerance does not necessarily exacerbate homophobia. For instance, if the BNP had successfully ruled Britain for quite some time and achieved its racialist agenda, and moved on to the phase of ‘democratic fascism’ where more rights are demanded by and for the ‘preferred race’, we might actually see increasing respect for gays.

'Twin Towers' Battleship : America's waterborne recidivism?

http://www.according2ed.com/2009/11/t...

It is said that the battleship is made up of steel melted from the remains of the ‘Twin Towers’. But its metaphorical substance, may not be the resilience of the human spirit, but a waterborne relic of self-absorbed arrogance.

according2ed: Fascist BNP's Nick Griffin on Question Time [video]

http://www.according2ed.com/2009/10/f...

This series of videos is recommended for singaporeans whom claim or aspire to being empathetic - with regards to race relations and integration. It is too easy to claim to be 'democrats' but not as simple to be aware of how one might be fascist especially when such a condition has served as the overarching milieu wherein one was reared.

"Democracy refers not to the realisation of a promised land, but a people whom are in a position to becoming adept at bringing it about. That can be said of the west, but not of Legalist/Confucian ‘middle kingdoms’ where ‘progress’ requires a population to kow tow its way through history." ~ ed

Confucianism as 'Soft Nazism..', ed responds

ed
Oct 13, 2009

Let's not forget the west has its variant of 'Confucianism/Legalism'. It's called the 'protestant ethic'.(ref, Weber's 'The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism'. Whilst Protestantism may not be the main fuel behind western, or American, economic advance at present, that which it blinded people to is that which determines much of what they see at present. However, with western democracy, it had the effect of softening the negative impact of the protestant ethnic.

Rated-I Awards : Thumbs-down for sgblogawards winners

RATED-I

Insightful

The Rated-I Awards is an initiative purposed for identifying blogs and sites of insight value.

This initiative was first inspired by an appreciation of the deficiencies in past ‘blooker’ and ‘blogstar’ awards that relied either on ‘hits’, or ‘bloggers’ keeping in their place by simply focusing on the trivial, being self/nation-absorbed, or offering little more than a trivial or entertaining rendition of reality.

I think Dante shouldn't make this template available for Wordpress as bloggers using 'blogger' are quite often seen as the 'lower class' of the blogging world compared to 'wordpress' users. I'm not saying that bloggers ought to engage in infighting with each other for these capitalist companies, but unlike Wordpress, Blogger is free whereas Wordpress is not - when it comes to its 'upgraded' version.
