it's really the next stage of @leninology.bsky.social's smart take in the twittering machine on social media as graphomania
K8 Hagen 🦂@thathagengrrl.bsky.social · 3mo agoIs it really though
This came up in a thread earlier today - Richard Seymour's @leninology.bsky.social "Disaster Nationalism". This book really fleshed out my understanding of the modern global far-right, and helped immensely in my articles. Thoroughly recommended.
Always worth reading Daniel Trilling @trillingual.bsky.social - excerpt from his forthcoming book, and drawing nicely on Richard Seymour's @leninology.bsky.social work on 'Disaster Nationalism'. "Today’s far right ... [is] unique to our time." #FarRight #Fascism www.theguardian.com/news/2026/ap...
The impossible promise: are we witnessing the return of fascism?
Some of today’s far right is openly violent and undemocratic – and even in its less extreme forms, far-right populism is a profound threat. But that doesn’t mean it is just a re-run of history
