Know that for all who betray justice, I am their fate. And fate carries an executioner's axe."

"Like, don't get me wrong, anybody can punch a fascist – all I'm saying is that you're probably going to have a bad time if you try to construct a cogent examination of the causes of fascism within the framework of a genre whose conventions directly equate moral rectitude with having the biggest gun."
