From what I understand, Gen was part of some kind of serious
crypto-fascist movement, if only on the fringes. The kind of scene where
the far right intersects with the radical bohemian lifestyle, hating
society so much that you want to impose your own absurd order on it.
"Betray knowledge of the obscenity of violence?" I don't know the whole
scene all to well, but this seems a little generous. Correct me if I'm
wrong, but anyone who chooses to hang out with Boyd Rice doesn't deserve
my generosity.
If you're saying he *wouldn't* fight because he just plain *couldn't*
fight, well, I doubt that too. Although Gen is a scrawny wimpy mofo,
I've found that being being unable to fight doesn't preclude you from
wanting to pick fights.
