If someone's born in the wrong place, between the media and their culture and utter lack of exposure to differing ideas, it can become terrifyingly easy for them to become convinced that a "strong leader" can "guide them" to "defeat" "their enemies".
-The leader's actually not strong, just puts on a good show.
-They actually just boss them around and eventually take away their freedoms too.
-By "defeat" I mean dehumanize then subjugate or possibly even exterminate. (entire populations).
-The people they target are often simply trying to live their own lives, they had no "agenda" against anyone. If all your "enemy" wants to do is wear a dress or something then your enemy is DEFINITELY whoever managed to hack your brain and control you.
Anyways you all know what fascism is and if not already have excellent tools for learning more, this post if anything needs to cover what fascism means for Needpedians.
-Cyber-attacks.
-Trolls
-Bots.
