American Fascism: A German Writer's Urgent Warning to America
Fascists use patriotism and religion to manipulate dumb people. Fascist propaganda works best on the dumbest of the dumb. They don't know when they're being lied to. That's why it's no coincidence that the MAGA death cult are the dumbest people in America.

DONALD TRUMP
Public, real time response to the very specific question, "If you win in November, can to commit to prioritizing legislation to make childcare affordable, and if so what specific piece of legislation would you advance?" (September 24, 2024)
Well, I would do that. And we're sitting down – you know – I was – somebody – we had – Senator Marco – Rubio and my daughter Ivanka was so – uh – impactful on that issue. It's a very important issue, but I think when you talk about the kind of numbers that I'm talking about that – because – look, childcare is childcare. It's – it couldn't – you know it's something – you have to have it. In this country you have to have it – uh – but when you talk about those numbers compared to the kind of numbers that I'm talking about by taxing foreign nations at levels that they're not used to but they'll get used to it very quickly and it's not gonna stop them from doing business with us but they'll have a very substantial tax when they send product into our country – uh – those numbers are so much bigger than any numbers that we're talking about including childcare that it's gonna take care - we're gonna have – I – I look forward to having no deficits within a fairly short period of time coupled with – uh – the reductions that I told you about on waste and fraud and all of the other things that are going on in our country because I have to stay with childcare – I – I wanna stay with childcare but those numbers are small relative to the kind of economic numbers that I'm talking about including growth but growth also headed up by what the plan is that I just – uh – that I just told you about. We're gonna be taking in trillions of dollars and as much as much as childcare – uh – is talked about as being expensive it's relatively speaking not very expensive compared to the kind of numbers we'll be taking in – we're gonna make this into an incredible country that can take afford to take care of its people and then we'll worry about the rest of the world. Let's help other people but we're gonna take care of our country first. This is about America First. This is about Make America Great Again. We have to do it because right now we're a failing nation – so we'll take care of it. Thank you.

JEYHUN ALIYEV SILO
To Be Tried as a Jew
Pluralism, transparency, separation of powers, and the rule of law are obstacles that prevents autocracy's triumph. In return, autocracy deceives the masses with its spectacular lies to bypass democracy and builds its legitimacy on these promises. At the same time, it forbids even two people from talking each other in private, so as not to spoil its spells. That is why, in authoritarian regimes, at least one person is recruited as an agent from each household. But a naive child who may rat out everything that he/she hears at home is an irreplaceable agent.

MADELEINE ALBRIGHT
Fascism: A Warning
Hitler's claim to distinction rested not on the quality of his ideas, but instead on his extraordinary drive to turn warped concepts into reality. Where others hesitated or were constrained by moral scruples, he preferred to act and saw emotional hardness as essential.
From early in his career, he was a genius at reading a crowd and modulating his message accordingly. In conversations with advisers, he was frank about this. He said that most people earnestly desired to have faith in something and were not intellectually equipped to quibble over what that object of belief might be.
He thought it shrewd, therefore, to reduce issues to terms that were easy to grasp and to lure his audiences into thinking that behind the many sources of their problems there loomed a single adversary. “There are only two possibilities,” he explained, “either the victory of the Aryan side or its annihilation and the victory of the Jews.”
Hitler felt that his countrymen were looking for a man who spoke to their anger, understood their fears, and sought their participation in a stirring and righteous cause. He was delighted, not dismayed, by the outrage his speeches generated abroad. He believed that his followers wanted to see him challenged, because they yearned to hear him express contempt for those who thought they could silence him.
The image of a brave man standing up against powerful foes is immensely appealing. In this way, Hitler could make even his persecution of the defenseless seem like self-defense.

UMBERTO ECO
"Eternal Fascism - Fourteen Ways of Looking at a Blackshirt"
["Il fascismo eterno"]
It would be so much easier for us, if there appeared on the world scene somebody saying "I want to reopen Auschwitz, I want the Black Shirts to parade again in the Italian squares". Life is not that simple. Ur-Fascism can come back under the most innocent of disguises. Our duty is to uncover it and point our finger at any of its new instances - every day, in every part of the world.
