Just a few words directed toward the anonymous prof and his dismissal of the F word - The Nazi time-line features an incremental movement toward all out war and genocide. It took Hitler more than two years to strip the Jews of citizenship, and four years before the first deportation of Jews to Poland. The T-4 Euthanasia program happened six years into the Nazi regime. The earliest Nazi acts toward consolidation were the purging of the civil service, the establishment of the Dachau concentration camp and mass arrests following the Reichstag fire. We haven't had our Reichstag fire yet, nor have there been mass arrests, but we have our Gitmo concentration camp and deportations that run ahead of the Nazi time-line. Trump is well on his way to copying the Nazi playbook on the civil service. Our variety of fascism will not duplicate that of Nazism, but if we learn anything from history it is that resistance has to be carried out quickly before the full powers of the police state have developed.
I had thoughts on Bernie's "new" offensive as well. If at bare minimum he updated his message to include the words fascist dictatorship it would convey a new sense of urgency and improve it significantly. I like Bernie but he's stubbornly plowing ahead with the same program. Where's the "guts" to step outside of the box and do something radical? Oh wait, he's not a radical by his own words. It's misleading and disappointing to say the least.
If it sounds like a duck, walks like a duck, looks like a duck…..?! Great analogy re throat cancer spot on and perfect….pompous academics. Got PhD LATE in life….I was older than half the faculty…wow…had been in business world for decades. I had thought things would be different in a scholarly setting….I was disallowed of that notion the day I went to Orientation. We have to wait “until we're totally mashed?” What a ….dick….haha. Oh! Where is my decorum?!
lol YES did I hear that right ‘codgerland Facebook… lol at 75 that’ll be me -love it love you and Substack! Totally even little codger me, since fucking Charlottesville, where at least the start of this fascist regime took hold, thru two Obstructions of Justice, with two impeachments; omg then now wtf is Musk doing, WTF DID Musk do? The Epstein murderer trump is hard at it firing and eliminating all checks$balances with Musk $littleX dismantling everything! How convenient dead men tell no lies and don’t rock the boat people hard at denial!
I lied (LOL) when I said I wrote the denier's comments down: I pasted them in. A friend sent them to me. I'm not doing a name call out as its not about that and besides I've heard this nonsense from a number of academics, journalists, and even activists over the years. It's a nasty brain worm that's out there among a number of "educated" folks. I am told the lecture I critique here is "an academic and a journalist." Deadly combo! LOL.
Hope you can share your thoughts on 50501. Wasn’t aware of them prior to President’s Day. From the little I’ve read — their site info & Wikipedia entry; a Michael Moore reference — I can’t tell if it’s “grassroots” — is a there clearly understood meaning for grassroots? — or if it’s Dem astroturf.
I support unity focused on getting Trump out now, yet am a bit confused about how it may or MAY NOT relate to an “enemy of my enemy is my friend….isms”
Hi, 50501 is fairly new. I think it’s more of a clearing house? Are you familiar with @Refusefascism? Sam Goldman’s podcast @Refusefascism? That will help put things into perspective I think? In the name of humanity, we refused to accept the fascist America. We need to unite all who can be united.

Thanks again for your work, Paul.
