Today in Fascism

This is the party of E and Husker.

Amazing you still think internet memes are more reliable than scientists. Scientists look at that map and ask “what happened in North America in 1936?”. (Answer is the Dust Bowl, in case you never were forced to read Steinbeck.) Trolls look at the map and say “See, it’s all a scam.”

If you feel the need to double check the eggheads, go ahead. Pick ten cities scattered across the globe, and look up their temperature records on Wikipedia. If it’s all a scam, most of the record highs will be from 50-250 years ago.

Proposed list: Beijing, Moscow, Paris, Canberra, Chicago, Buenos Aires, Lagos, Cairo, Johannesburg, Manila. If it’s all a scam, you should see a variety of dates scattered over the last 200 years.

Beijing was 1999, Moscow was 2010, Paris was 2019, Canberra was 2020. I’ll let you look up the others, but it’s not looking very good for your hypothesis.
 
Missing Brat Summer is tough. But, we “missed” this as well - so far. We also never would have learned the truth about @dad4 hero responsible for the death of millions, Fauci, either.

A lot of people assume fascism arrives wearing a villain’s uniform and announcing itself. History suggests otherwise.

Authoritarians rarely present themselves as enemies of patriotism, faith, family, or national pride. They usually claim to be defending those things. That’s why this quote, often attributed to Sinclair Lewis, has remained relevant for generations.

Whether you agree with it completely or not, it’s worth asking a simple question:

How do we tell the difference between genuine patriotism and the use of patriotism as a shield against criticism?

A flag is just a flag. A cross is just a cross. What matters is whether the people carrying them are defending liberty, equal justice, and the rights of their neighbors—or demanding power over them.

History is full of examples. That’s why history is worth studying.
