         | I went looking for a source for your list, as it definitely has
         | a "polarized social media fever swamp" vibe. It appears that
         | list was written by a little-known novelist who is often
         | misrepresented as an academic, and gets things wrong: https://o

         | No need for warning signs: I think the problem about the facism
         | diagnosis is only that comparison to historical figures like
         | the infamous austrian painter is misleading. Just call it
         | palingenetic ultranationalism and we probably really quickly
         | get agreement.
