    Since the fascism question is still raging, let me recommend @leninology's essay, which I thought was one of the most cogent interventions in the debate.https://www.patreon.com/posts/is-it-still-if-45896691 …

        My big comparative history thought on the Trump fascism debate is that Europeanists & Americanists were talking past each other & there should probably be a conference bringing together students of fascism & USA far right.

        Romanian’s are making memes like this, so I don’t know why there’s any debate, other than to deflect responsibility/blame. My Opa was a literal Nazi & both me & my mom agree that Trump is a Fascist. We were born in Romania btw, and she’s DonauSchwaben, bc I think that’s relevant.pic.twitter.com/y5g20UmxEs

        He’s a bit hysterical. Ernst Nolte wrote about the 1930s. What’s happening now is the personal projected onto the political (eg, the media as “the enemy of the people” - Trump has always had a curious relationship with the media), which is going to prove as ephemeral as Trump.

        Call Trumpism “American Fascism” and we can square the circle. It's highly politically resonant, comports with usage, and is accurate if one is unshackled from a rigid notion of fascism, a term never having a fixed gloss and was applied to multiple disparate movements. 1/2

        It is disheartening to see the academics’ grasping at political terminological hegemony. Wittgenstein articulated the idea that usage determines definition, now utterly accepted in philosophical and linguistic circles. Perhaps a refresher course is needed. 2/2

        Semi incompetent disturbingly successful turn towards fascism that educated a lot of Americans about the Constitution.

        What makes the current situation especially scary is how much lethal firepower the fascists have at their disposal, and their ability to use social media to coordinate and mobilize. We’ve never seen this before
