    Reminder that this is #12 on Umberto Eco’s list of Ur-fascism warnings. When you let authorities curb expression of things that bother you, you have given them permission to curb any expression they want.

    Since both permanent war and heroism are difficult games to play, the Ur-Fascist transfers his will to power to sexual matters. This is the origin of machismo (which implies both disdain for women and intolerance and condemnation of nonstandard sexual habits, from chastity to homosexuality).
