Two Toronto-area synagogues were damaged by gunfire late Friday and early Saturday, the third such shooting in the area in less than a week, according to the Canadian authorities. The police said no one was hurt.

My talk on Monday on global & transnational fascism at
Northern Arizona University/ Flagstaff. I am thankful to the 150 people that attended the lecture!
To quote (paraphrase?) Federico Finchelstein (A Brief History of Fascist Lies):
"Lying is a feature, not a bug, of fascism. For the fascist, the 'truth' is whatever allows them to dominate others."

Trumpism: democratic language is kept, while fascist tactics-big lies, mythic nationalism, scapegoating, and delegitimizing elections-are repackaged for mass politics.
Trump and MAGA rely on exactly the kind of political lying Finchelstein describes.

As Federico Finchelstein explains, lying is a feature, not a bug, of fascism. For the fascist, the 'truth' is whatever allows them to dominate others. They see their lies as in service to a 'greater truth' which is, in fact, a bigger lie.

The wannabe fascist embodies an incomplete version of fascism. Adopting a messianic style, this type of leader despises any type of deep thinking. For them there is no big picture. Idiocy, extreme narcissism, and an ability to manipulate people and institutions go hand in hand.
