    In posts like this, I’ll always point people towards “How the liberal media helped fascism win” by Behind the Bastards podcast. It’s a fantastic 2 part episode that explains exactly what’s happening again today in the 2020s.

      Will have to have a listen. Is it talking about today, the rise of it in the 1920s and 30s, or both?

      Blackshirts and Reds by Parenti is one of books I recommend people to read today to understand how liberals turn to fascist aliances. So much parallel between the past and today.

        Yep the focus is the 1930s, but as you can imagine there are lots of tie-ins today’s media.
