#neofascism
Obviously the current rise of neofascism/far-right populism has been happening for a while now. But I think this video is as good a "2 minute explainer" as you can get for how to spot it.

#neofascism tends to differ from #fascism by being Transnational more than nationalism. The unifying factor isn't a certain group of people in the "fatherland" country --it's white "Christians" and sometimes pagans who see Europe as a white bloc. Or whiteness in general as a bloc.
The rioters therefore don't love Ireland. They love whiteness. The identity that drives them is their racism--even over nationality.

This is totally normal. The Republican Party is a totally normal party and is not at all descending into #neoFascism.
In Canada politicians are forced to resign just for praising a Nazi.
In America the Republicans not only praise and support Nazis we have actual Nazis in their party wearing their neo-fascist stripes proudly. And hell no they won't resign, apologize, or change their ways. They are actively recruiting to the cause.
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/sep/26/anthony-rota-canada-resigns-nazi-parliament
It's a collective self-suggestion that this problem will miraculously go away by most of the world who still believes the dream of capitalism.
Of course we won't stay below 1.5 or even 2°C. We'll be lucky if we manage to stay below +4°C by the end of this century, if we keep going at the current rate.
But, in order to drastically increase the chances to keep the temperature gain as low as possible, the societies of all countries, and especially those of the rich, industrialized countries, would need to make drastic cuts in their way of living. Ever growing economies which waste as many resources as they want, would need to be shut down altogether.
And this is something most people in the richer countries and even the developing countries aren't willing to do. After all, you only have a lot to lose, if you own a lot.
But if you know that something is bad, but don't want to change it out of illogical reasons, then you have to trick yourself with nonsense.
And that is what we see today. Some people deny climate change, some relativize it, and some are simply indifferent to it all because they believe it won't affect them anymore anyway. #Neofascism as it's been gaining traction in many countries is just one of those symptoms.

There's no two sides that media should be reporting on many issues that this country is in the POTUS 45+ years.
For instance either you're either a Nazis hating anti-fascist, you're a blissfully or willfully ignorant ostrich, or you're a fascist.
Any media org trying to present the pro fascism POV is part of the problem. It's anti-human, un-American, and no one should be tolerating Nazi appeasement. Didn't work work before and won't work now.
