The echoes are realâbut this isnât a rerun.
Naomi Klein calls it end times fascism:
It´s not just about reclaiming power, but about riding collapse like itâs prophecy.
Theyâre not planning for the futureâtheyâre hoarding for the aftermath.
Destruction isnât the cost. Itâs the goal.

Hannah Arendt discusses this phenomenon of sympathetic elite allying themselves with the mob because they took delight in debasing the institutions that rejected them only to later be discarded before the atrocities start.
Her insight into this phenomenon is pure insightful genius.

Canute turned towards the oceanâ"Back!" he said, "thou foaming brine.
"From the sacred shore I stand on, I command thee to retreat;
Venture not, thou stormy rebel, to approach thy master's seat:
Ocean, be thou still! I bid thee come not nearer to my feet!"

Authoritarianism mainly aims to lock up control of the state, but will often leave wide latitude for most people to live ordinary lives if they stay out of politics, as @tompepinsky.com has written.
Fascism wants to subordinate all of societyâculture & education, etcâthe state is just the beginning
