Fascists despised the small truths of daily existence, loved slogans that resonated like a new religion, and preferred creative myths to history or journalism. They used new media, which at the time was radio, to create a drumbeat of propaganda that aroused feelings before people had time to ascertain facts.
And now, as then, many people confused faith in a hugely flawed leader with the truth about the world we all share.
Post-tuth is pre-fascism.
Maybe one isn’t visible, so we don’t see the full and totally normal set of 12 fingers.
