Obviously we won’t ignore the creep of fascist ideology, because it results in actual individuals being threatened and harmed. But we are able to change into conscious of those narratives and contextualize them, and perceive how they’re a part of a hateful, irregular agenda quite than simply one other standpoint. I not too long ago got here throughout a very good put up on Kottke.org which quoted a Heather Cox Richardson essay on a U.S. Army pamphlet from 1943 on combating fascism in America.
It is “vitally important” to be taught to identify native fascists, the federal government mentioned, “even though they adopt names and slogans with popular appeal, drape themselves with the American flag, and attempt to carry out their program in the name of the democracy they are trying to destroy.”
