And Elijah inquired of the Lord, asking “Why?” and the Lord replied, “Because thou doth lament greatly when thou art hungry”.

Thus Elijah took and he ate of the confection, finding it to be exceedingly satisfying.

I’ve spent the past… five? Let’s say five - the past five years analyzing the structure of Disney Musicals as part of the process to write my own/a parody of them, and the thing is that all the modern ones have roughly the same number of songs - except Mulan.

Mulan has about half, because after AGWFF ends with that unresolved final phrase, there are no more songs until the end credits, which isn’t even sung in-universe.

Mulan wasn’t even the REALM of fucking around - when they arrive at that village, when the true horrors of war are brought into the story, not only does it interrupt THAT song, it breaks the entire fucking mold - the movie’s damn genre changes; it is no longer a musical.

And the Huns represent this from the start - Jafar and Hades are notable for not having proper villain songs, but Jafar does get his Prince Ali refrain and Hades and his plan get sung ABOUT by the muses. No scene with the Huns has any singing, they are mentioned once in song (the second line of Man, natch), and they of all Disney Villains are probably the most serious - no jokes, no witty asides, no sassy delivery of dry humor. The Huns are an invading army who plan to straight up kill a fuckton of people, including children, and AGWFF’s sudden end is the moment when our happy go lucky MUSICAL protagonists finally come in contact with them and their work directly - and it breaks them. Because shit like the Huns cannot exist in happy go lucky musical world. They just exist in our world. The real world. And you can’t sing your problems away here.

It’s pretty likely that it’s a four digit number, and as there are four digits chosen there, that means that there cannot be any repetition. This mean that there are:

No, no, no. Don’t base your deductions of psychology. Let’s talk chemistry. When you first press a button, there’s more of the natural oils on your skin, and therefore it wears down the numbers on the keys faster. Obviously 0 is the first one, then. Try 0791 first.

The light is green.

it appeals largely to the middle class and to the wealthy, though many poor people can and do get swept up too. it appeals to people who are scared of the word socialism and who are feeling left out by whatever is happening in the current political game. 

fascism comes to power by convincing people they need the government to protect them. from what or who varies to whatever is convenient. protection from immigrants, protection from other nations, protection from corruption. it convinces them that they matter, it convinces them that all the other options are scary, are failing. it convinces them that they are a target. it thrives on cultural pessimism, it validates concern that someone’s way of life is being threatened. 

fascism is against democracy. it is against socialism. it is totalitarianism. it is control by one single party. it convinces you that democracy is failing, it offers you another way. 

fascism is hypernationalism: my country and my (very specific kind of) people come first. it appeals to the hyper-patriotic. it uses propaganda to promote unity behind a single nation identity and discourages diversity. it convinces you that because other people aren’t part of your country or your ethnicity, they are worth less. they don’t matter. it promotes racial unity over class unity or equality. 

fascism looks for scapegoats to blame economic problems on. in the 1920s and 30s, it blamed the jewish: antisemitism is a core facet of fascism and it’s very important to remember that. but the scapegoat can and has been shifted to various minorities and outsiders. it’s strict gender roles. it’s eugenics. it’s ostracization of the Other while propping up the Ideal. (straight, white.)

fascism is corporatism. it’s for profit. it’s war mongering. it glorifies war and sacrifice for a greater purpose. historically, it’s imperialistic. it turns you against the media, against the press, until the only news is the state run news. 

the further a politician moves to the right, the closer they get to fascism. 

fascism rarely comes to power through a majority. it relies on people who don’t care, don’t vote, it relies on a divided left. it paints the left as the bigger threat. at the same time, it keeps the message vague, so people can supply whatever they want to hear. it tailors the message to the crowd. it props up a leader, it centralizes power. 

Fascism uses the right-wing to promote its visions, as if they really care about the country. Once in the power, fascism systematically get rid of all and any opposition, only to remain indefinitely governing the people.

As Fascism works, so do Communism.

The difference lays on fascism using right-wing ideas such as conservative policies, religious policies, or freedom of economy to get the power.

Communism uses left-wing ideias such as free and universal healthcare, free and universal education, better social policies, etc, to get the power.

Left or right, there's no difference at the end of the day. Both want the better for the country and its people. The problem is extreme tendencies who uses the Left or the Right to ascend to the power and create an autocratic regime.
