    Fascism continues to sweep the world. Apparently loads of people find it really appealing.

      Is populism a part of fascism? Seems like populists tend to be popular during rough times. They give you an “other” to blame, so it’s not your fault.

        If there was a Venn diagram, populism and nationalism and fascism all overlap beautifully.

        I worry for my kids. I’m doing the best I can to keep the anger out of their hearts but Jesus Christ the world is so angry right now and they don’t know where to put it.

        Rough times ahead and strongly recommend everyone keep those you care about close.
