this would be applicable to the entire history of the human race as well.
irrelevant, as we’re talking about US history, not world history. you’re the one saying we’re in worse times than before and I’m asking when that was.
i disagree that fascism wasn’t a serious problem before, i just think they’re more comfortable with visibility today thanks to the orangutan leatherface. if you mean this to be the specific mechanism, okay, but i don’t know if it’s really worse than the insidious cryptofascism doing the same shit but with masks and dog whistles instead.

i get that, granted that was the argument i just made previously so this is a bit redundant here. Regardless, if we’re just talking about the specific capacity of the human race to do bad things to other people, it’s probably pretty consistent over time. Even through the global world history.

i think the modern incantation is worse simply because of how accessible it is, paired with how inconspicuous it can be. It can become a rather dangerous thing. And extremely coordinated. unlike the hitler arc, there is very little need for control of the media in this case, because they can literally just create their own narrative and it’s global within about 20 minutes.
