    1. Maus. Whoopi Goldberg. Swastikas (some ironic, some not) at the so-called Truckers Convoy in Ottawa. Lots of fascist discourse going around but much of it shows a decreasing awareness of what fascism actually was.

        2. One reason I like John Ganz' Unpopular Front newsletter so much is that he's done a lot of hard thinking about what fascism was and how the term is still relevant now, beyond being an all purpose insult,

        3. "Fascism" isn't just any bad form of politics or even authoritarianism: it's the politics that emerges in liberal democracies that are gridlocked, which opens up a path for strongman leader whose path to power comes from fusing conservative elite & roughneck street fighters.

        4. John has a very fruitful way of thinking about fascism as a process & the way it parallels (or sometimes doesn't parallel) contemporary anti-systems right. It's a very fair minded argument, charitable to critics. I had a very fruitful talk with him.https://jeetheer.substack.com/p/fascism-as-metaphor-and-fact?r=bh54&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=email …

        Either that, or like their idol Donald J Trump, they are no longer interested in hiding it.

        There are many who are invested in making sure that it's not well understood...so that they can practice it without accusation.

        I think part of the problem is that there are so few WWII vets alive to tell these people to SDSTFU. By my guess the youngest vets are in their mid-90s.

        People also don't necessarily need to get hung up on terms to see there's a problem and generate possible solutions.

        Ok, I’ll bite: how does one use a swastika ironically?
