   Indeed, thanks for sharing the article.

   A year or so ago, my concern/curiosity regarding the complicity of "civil society" groups pushing a specific (nationalist) agenda locally led me to discover the (highly recommended) article “Civil Society and the Collapse of the Weimar Republic” by #SheriBerman (an updated reflection of which can be found here: https://histphil.org/2021/05/13/revisiting-civil-society-and-the-collapse-of-the-weimar-republic/ (contains a link to the original article).

   Be/Keep well!

     A few weeks ago @heidilifeldman wrote about the German Nazis coming to power:

     “Today’s American Nazis are gaining the same kind of power the German Nazis did in the 1930s.”

     And the #media parallels are also strong. The publisher of the Daily Mail in the 1930s was an explicit fascist, a member of a British fascist party. There is strong similarity to Murdoch and Wilks and Koch and Singer.

     Political fascism hasn’t changed much—billionaires to dangerous lickspittles. https://www.notesfromcalicomanor.com/2023/01/07/todays-american-nazis-are-gaining-the-same-kind-of-power-the-german-nazis-did-in-the-1930s/
