    People are afraid of a uncertain future? When was it any different in the past? When did people have power over the future that we do not have today?

      When economic inequality was lower (at least for white people, anyway). I gotta admit he does have about 40% of a point about that.

      Climate change is a terrifying prospect with billions of people expected to be forced to move within our lifetimes. The people who claim not to believe it the loudest are in fact the ones most fearful of changes that they can not control. For only one example.

      You act like the world is static. It is incredibly dynamic. All periods in human history are not interchangeable. Your point doesn’t seem to be that this point in history is not especially fertile for fascism, it’s that every point in history is equally fertile.
