| Fascism (sadly) is simple enough to feel great again | 07 Mar 2025 | 00:11:24 | |
I'd like to believe that most people gravitate toward fascism not because they're evil but because it must feel amazing. In this episode, I rely heavily on Jason Stanley's How Fascism Works - The Politics of Us and Them to explore why an authoritarian system can help people cope with uncertainties and why it's an easy way out compared to living a more realistic life. The short answer is nostalgia. The long answer is in the podcast. Another book I quote in this episode is Amanda Montell's Cultish.

And maybe find some answers to reverse it, like it's a political climate change.
