Even evil has standards

Wow, check it out! Former "center-left" cyclist turned warmongering fascist Charles Johnson has turned again. Colour me skeptical (like someone pointed out on fengi's LJ, it'll take one more terrorist attack to turn him back, but it's almost heartening to read.

I wonder if he'll apologize for his blog being a gathering place for genocidal maniacs for the last eight years.

If he's serious, though: Welcome back to the reality-based community.

You know what? I think he's being entirely serious. The clue here is that he correctly names SIOE as a fascist site; until now it would have been unthinkable for many on the pseudolibertarian right, or indeed the Eustonite "left", to do so.

Is it a coincidence, too, that well-known British fruitcake and LGF fellow traveller Daniel Hannan actually came out with something vaguely rational and sensible today, regarding the Swiss vote to ban the erection of minarets? I'm referring to the third point that Hannan makes rather than the first two.

That's—almost rational. But it shows the huge flaw in majority rule, which is that they tend to lord it over minorities given the chance.

Random thought:

North America's bogeyman: Gays.

Europe's bogeyman: Muslims.

Interesting that in both place they are discriminating against both groups using the same mechanism with popular referendums.
