  • I was about to say that they have the causality backwards but then I thought about it and realized that it’s both ways:

    Racist demagogues complain about immigrants, which makes people more racist, which makes people more anti immigrant, which makes people more racist etc until everything is so fucked that fascists take over.

    The only way to stop the process is to have highly influential politicians and journalists who are both ethically principled and at least as skilled at effective rhetoric as the fascist demagogues and their astroturfed echo chamber.

    Which means that the US, Germany, the UK, India, Russia, Israel, and several other influential countries are COMPLETELY fucked right now.
