While reading this I realised that prior, despite how much we talk about facism and antifa, I would not have been able to explain exactly what makes facism exactly facism, and now I can which feels very empowering. Extremely well written -- not too jargony as to be hard to follow and super clear in its x to y to z of how alt right figures develop. I found it especially enlightening wrt why things like paganism, occultism, and folk are so appealing to and rife with fascists. Very good ground work read and very much recommend.
