If You Tolerate This
This Podcast discusses an original Blog post by Columnist Jim Powers that examines the rise of fascism in America and its potential consequences.
Drawing parallels between the current political climate and historical events like the Spanish Civil War, the text argues that the normalization of hate speech, the undermining of democratic institutions, and the erosion of truth have created a fertile ground for authoritarianism to flourish.
Jim warns that complacency and apathy will only accelerate this dangerous trend, leaving future generations to face the consequences of inaction. The text concludes with a call to action, urging readers to actively resist the normalization of fascism and defend democratic values.
