The F word

I saw this tonight at General Barry McCaffrey's twitter. It's a short video by Timothy Snyder, a professor of history at Yale, who is probably most well known for his book On Tyranny. I've seen him on the news a lot, especially during the Trump presidency when the subject of authoritarianism often came up.

People are talking about fascism. I've heard from people who are baffled that we haven't been speaking of fascism more and earlier, and from people who want to know what it means – and from people who want me to explain why fascism is bad.
