Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

I don't think pointing out the fascists' 'hypocrisy' is a good use of time. It's not hypocrisy, it's hierarchy. They actually do believe that they have the right and obligation to dominate you because they are superior to you. They are using their power not being hypocritical.

Most golden age SF authors are perhaps libertarian at best, even when writing heavy handed allegory for social reform.
Yet, Heinlein's Starship Troopers is masterful. Mr Dubois might not fool you, but he delivers a coherent nationalist indoctrination that railroads Rico to fascism before your eyes

Here’s a question: who is the artist with politics you disagree strongly with, whose politics *do* (in your view) influence their art, that you still think is talented and whose work you enjoy?
