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.

    This is far too stylized for ai. Don’t accuse without cause (an additional, proportional finger, isn’t cause. People can make mistakes)

      It may have also been intentional the section was talking about truth and post-truth after all.
