Caught this interview yesterday

It's not agreed upon but let's only have one severely biased (probably antifa member, imo (seriously, if you listen to the interview instead of reading it, you can hear his disdain for all things not left))contribute to the article. Awesome journalism.
That's totally what is happening.
No worry, antifa and intellectuals are here to save the day.
Why does npr get govt funding? Why are they considered some sort of neutral platform?

But what is and isn't fascist isn't even agreed upon by scholars.
Jason Stanley, a professor of philosophy at Yale University, offers one perspective on the word. He defines fascism as "a cult of the leader who promises national restoration in the face of humiliation brought on by supposed communists, Marxists and minorities and immigrants who are supposedly posing a threat to the character and the history of a nation."

Well if someone described to you, "Here's country X. The leader of country X claims that he is going to remain in power for many years beyond what is legal. He sends federal forces in to quell largely peaceful protests for racial justice in his country. His attorney general seems dedicated to him over the rule of law. The major political party that controls the courts and most of the government has, as their entire platform, devotion to him."
That's totally what is happening.

The U.S. is the home of anti-fascist resistance not just our soldiers in World War II but our intellectuals and journalists and nonviolent protest movements and revolutionaries here who have confronted our own racial history that so influenced Hitler.
