🧵 As a Sociologist, I need to tell you how Nationalism is fascism's breeding ground. And to understand how fascism takes root, you need to see how nationalism quietly shapes our world through stories we mistake for "ancient tradition" (1/12)

![Is the action tangible, actionable, and detailed? Or intangible, abstract, and vague?
When [Trump] leaves the details vague, we, collectively, cannot help ourselves. We try to fill them in. But — if Trump’s past promises are any guide — intangibility is a pretty good indicator that a proposal is a less-than-pressing concern.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:4fvbdr5zqt7b74qllyg2vdit/bafkreibvgyxmsqaz6lk5lwbxd747jhmbphuj6j3zhwfyttnhvrkh53snva@jpeg)
![Does this action target the opposition in a way that may cause anticipatory obedience?
By targeting individual politicians, companies, civil servants, nonprofits, donors, media outlets, and journalists, [Trump] can cow hundreds or thousands of others into a more submissive and defensive posture.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:4fvbdr5zqt7b74qllyg2vdit/bafkreid7mpvpd6vghi3e2dbmkzcrkmden3lg5vvfan6ckt7affhn5dg7o4@jpeg)

Shown is Missouri Congressman Eric Burlison spending tax payer money to meet and greet the oligarchs.
Eric hasn’t passed even one of his bills in his time in congress, but he has kissed a lot of ass.

Banning ‘The Girl on the Train’ isn’t just about censorship, it’s an attack on the voices of women who are navigating the layers of motherhood, marriage, & societal pressures. Author Paula Hawkins’ explorations on the dark realities of womanhood deserve to be read. She joins me at 11a on #Velshi.
