Reminder: Fascism rose partly as a result of the 1918 pandemic. Do not stay silent about the attempts to ban masks and protests.

    @luckytran Cool, cool, but, why? When you get down to it, brain damage. Yes I did read this.

    @luckytran I tend to disagree ... at least in general. Whilst it is true that right-wingers and fascist feast on all kinds of cataclysmic events like vultures, it is often difficult to isolate one single event. In case of the rise of fascism in Europe in the 20s/30s the Spanish flue might be one of the contributors ... together with other causes like Versailles (notably Germany), the Spanish revolution (obviously Spain), the world-wide economic crisis, etc.

    No question that pandemic illness stokes the politics of racial purity/supremacy and xenophobic hostility.

    Let’s not memory hole the ugly, racist rhetoric of the initial COVID outbreak and the anti-Asian attacks it precipitated/unleashed.

    Interesting point of view… it confirms my thought that stress and uncertainty in a community amplifies the call for strongmen that will solve it all…

    @luckytran There is this really interesting Well-there's-your-Problem podcast episode that features the spanish flu. Though a warning, the jokes and tangents can be irritating if you don't find them funny. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oifinZTKxKo

    @luckytran “But we want to have freeedumb….” Sadly a lot have eaten up the idea of endangering others as freedom. Aka fascism.
