if you wind back the clock a year and say “trump will be president, he’ll tear up entire agencies without any legislative authority, ignore court orders, build a concentration camp, and send troops into multiple US cities” you wouldn’t ask “well how many troops?” before deciding what this describes

Fascism is here. We are not “getting closer” or “in danger of.” This matters because it frames our discussion: We aren’t trying to prevent it, we’re trying to defeat it. It’s not taking over our institutions, it’s taken them over. Otherwise, we’re always behind, fighting a past we’ve already lost.

Any discussion of AI outside of political economy or EdTech is useless? Yes, we've had a lot of takes that are this shallow but we also need shallow takes: people learn about ideas for the first time all the time, and just because something is too 050 level for you doesn't mean it's worthless.

17. Bottom line: don't accept "just joking" as a defense or excuse for what Trump says. He's pushing ideas to his in-group, and if he's using humor to do it that doesn't mean it can be ignored -- it means he's using an effective tool to push those ideas and we should pay close attention.

I suspect Americans, raised more on television and movies than books, think that unless a political movement looks like newsreels and movies about Hitler's Germany, than it's not really real fascism yet. That comes late. Fascism is contradictory, chaotic, half-seen, long before it's so formalized.
