So. Fascism.

[Saviolo]

So. Fascism. I know the news sucks and everyone's exhausted and tired or the avalanche of bullshit and horror that's been raining down for the past while, but I just wanted to put a few things in the same place, all together.

First of all, Cody Johnston (@drmistercody in Twitter) has been doing really good work putting a bunch of pieces of things together to build a continuing narrative about the fascism that is building:

He used to do videos for Cracked, but now does this YouTube show, where he pieces everything together very effectively in the persona of a frustrated news anchor just trying not to lose his shit.

He also has a less funny podcast with former Cracked colleague Katy Stoll (@katystoll on Twitter) that is still very informative. It's them just talking about current events, mostly with deep frustration.

And speaking of podcasts, I also listen to Behind The Bastards (@bastardspod on Twitter): Everything you didn't know about the absolute worst people in history. This week's deals with the non-nazis that led directly or indirectly to the rise of nazis in Germany:

And that one's a serious time investment, but I highly recommend it, if only to see how the people who didn't actually like the nazis, swore up and down that they weren't nazis, and eventually suffered under nazi rule, enabled the nazis to actually come to power. And it's a familiar playbook. Fascists gonna fash.

Anyway, I just wanted to put this all in one place, because there are patterns that make more sense with more context.

1. He does excellent work. K&R

2. For sure!

His new stuff is even better than the Some News segments he did for Cracked. Well researched, thoroughly cited, and manages to collect a lot of disparate stuff in a single place.

Robert Evans (the guy behind Behind The Bastards) has appeared on the Even More News podcast, as well. That's how I heard about his podcast, and I highly recommend it.
