    People can only learn to recognize fascism if other people point to it and describe it where it exists.

    But that’s not enough. Please tell me what more I should be doing.

      Ask the people you label as fascists what they are upset about. Listen with empathy and not judgement. When I’ve done this, many are not as far right as they think.

      It’s not enough to judge people as fascists. Anyone who agrees with you is likely in an echo chamber, and those who disagree with you are in another one. This is what it means to know your enemy

        Great, I’ll make sure to “understand” while they’re rounding people up and putting them into camps.
