      Plenty of fascists got their start reading 1984 and distrusting the news.

        I mean… That seems like an argument for equipping people with better literacy skills given that any competent reading of 1984 would turn you away from fascism.

          I don’t know man, with how misused the term is these days, not trusting the government is fascism. And a proper reading of it certainly gives you a distrust of the machine.

            That absolutely is not fascism. Stop listening to bullshit that’s designed to piss you off and drive a wedge between you and others.

            The term isn’t becoming more misued; more people are accurately fitting the definition.
