This has extreme “future history students will have trouble thinking people took it seriously” vibes.
People don't recognize history while they are living through it. Right now we are seeing the consolidation of corporate industry with a government led by a cult of personality. One of the "true and classical" definitions of fascism. Yet, people will argue that it's not actually fascism. No matter how bad it gets, there will always be a large portion of the population who will say its not true fascism because it does not personally affect then in a way they consider fascism. There are plenty of Germans who believed that Nazi Germany did nothing wrong even after having lived through it. That's they one thing history never taught me, the absolute ignorance and denial of the majority of the population, even after things get incredibly bad and millions die.
Edit: Elon Musk did an unequivocal Nazi salute, twice, during his speech at Trumps inauguration. Just watch, somehow this still does not actually make them fascists
There is no end to the stupidity of the human race.
buckle up.
