Hamish The PolarBearWatch any decent documentary about the rise of Fascism in 1930s Europe and then show me where the differences are from what is happening now?
* A zealot who seems to be able to sway people with racist ideas is backed by financiers who think they can profit from his actions.
* These financiers own and control the mass media channels consumed by large portions of the population and seed then promote the idea that their candidate is a valid politician no matter how often they fail to actually convince voters.
* A small cult finally rises around a central figure and the reinforcement of their ideology goes into overdrive.
* Groups of people are de-humanised and constantly blamed for things they are not responsible for.
* The press and media back this up and in many cases amplify it. Portraying racism and reactionary lies as "an alternative view" to be balanced with actual facts.
* "Traditional" political groups and politicians start leaning into the hateful rhetoric in the mistaken belief it will benefit them.
* Tragic events involving "the right sort of people" committing crrimes are ignored but any transgression by a member of the de-humanised group(s) is declared a cause for "protest" and leads to violence.
* Despite openly causing the violence and unrest, the media and government take no action against the agitators.
...
* Kristalnacht, "legal" oppression, desensitisation to oppression and then mass recruitment...
It is already happening in the USA, it is close to happening in many other places, right now the UK is on the verge of a tipping point. Will people believe the reality yet? Will non-white business owners be targeted next? Will people believe the reality once their local take-away and convenience stores are burned out?
I am in a very deep state of despair and struggling very hard to understand how people can keep letting this happen.
