It has been my observation that the first people to gush and coo and speak in motherese to puppies and kittens are among the first people to shriek and swear and swat at any spider or insect. These people are entirely willing to end the life of another creature not because it poses any real threat to them but just because they dont like the way it *looks*. And they absurdly refer to themselves as animal lovers. Likewise, I suspect that the first people to spend hours to make themselves beautiful are the first to recoil in horror at the sight or smell of a street person. And I expect back through history there have ever been such severe aestheticians condemning this tribe to slavery or putting that city to the sword because the people were *uncivilized* or *unclean*. I believe that beneath this seemingly simple lookism beats the throbbing heart of cruel fascism.
