The fact that people can’t recognize fascism unless it looks like Hitler’s Nazi Reich is very dangerous.

@Strandjunker The fact that some people applaud fascism, without even knowing what that means, is chilling, and a testament to the fact that the education system is failing in half the country.

@Strandjunker The fact that so many people are EMBRACING it even though it's OBVIOUSLY the same and they KNOW IT, is what's scary.

@Strandjunker To be fair, they also fail to (refuse to) recognize it when it comes with literal nazi salutes, swastikas and quotes from Mein Kampf.

@Strandjunker you use the word "fact" quite loosely

@Strandjunker Yet again whites confuse whites with people. People can recognize fascism just fine, only whites have difficulties with that.

@Strandjunker Trump doesn’t hide at all his infatuation with Nazisim. Just today’s NYT…

Tolerable levels of fascism condition us. Things like religion and "painting" victims & enemies. And religion.

PBS had an excellent documentary on some time ago titled "The Dictator's Playbook". The series looked at how dictators operated. Lots of similarity to Donnie Numbnuts...

@Strandjunker

I don't know; as a libertarian - small 'L', before the term went all crazy - the rule seemed pretty simple.

You don't get to tell me what to do.

I might give up some rights to live in society, but don't go trying to take my other rights away.

@Strandjunker I would not have seen Trump was a sociopath if I hadn't known one myself. You have to be shown what these things really are.

@Strandjunker The fact that people can't recognize fascism even when it looks exactly like Hitler's nazi reich is even more dangerous.

Yes!

Same with racism, if it doesn't look like Bull Conors, some people just don't see it

Of course, there's a whole industry focused on making sure people keep those blinders on
