subtooting many people, politics
I'm very, very tired of all the "this is why fascism is on the rise" political takes, which invariably try to flatten the whole issue down to a singular cause (a different one in each post), despite that being incredibly implausible with how complex people and societies are.
Like, it's okay to say "it's complicated" and start addressing the issues one by one, you know. You do not actually need to pretend that there's a simple answer, and doing so certainly isn't going to solve the problem.

And yes, there are specific issues that are *blockers*, in that it is likely impossible to solve the problem of fascism if you don't address those blocking issues.
That does not make them *causes*, and treating them as causes anyway means you're likely going to overlook *other* blocking issues.
