[Peace-discuss] Jason Stanley - fascism

[David Green]

Jason Stanley, a philosopher at Yale, is the new Timothy Snyder, a
historian at Yale. They are both peddling a highly propagandistic argument,
irony not withstanding, regarding what they see as current fascism. Stanley
was interviewed, in uncritical fashion, by Amy Goodman last week. The NYT
has given him a 5-minute video opinion column. It's absolutely lurid. But
of course it says more about liberal opinion in the Trump era than it does
about fascism, past or present.

Notice, by the way, the selectivity of the countries referred to: not
Israel, of course; and not Saudi Arabia.
