Whenever someone wonders why conservatives tend to be awful people, just remember - The fundamental distinction between conservatism and liberalism is the former’s commitment to moral inequality. Conservatives are simply more comfortable with the idea that people are unequal, and so should be treated unequally.

"...fascism is politics as faith..."
"...It is a perversion not representative of any belief system save itself; it spreads because people in power spread it, and people listen when they want their egos flattered and their sins absolved and to be folded into an authority structure that privileges them. They'll do what it takes to conform whatever beliefs they came in with to it..."​

Sounds like a very conservative thing to say.

What is that 80's sword and sorcery movie where the hero's weapon has three blades and they can be fired? I'm pretty sure I saw it on Rifftrax.

It felt like they were trying to do their own version of a glaive. By the way a glaive is a real weapon but it was nothing like the one in Krull. It was more of a pole-axe.
