Sounds like the 3rd/4th item in headlines on Democracy Now tomorrow. Censorship and facism are on the rise globally because history repeatedly shows the majority are ignorant fools and always fall for populist hate and false promises to ameliorate their discontent with scapegoats and quick-fixes.

> the majority are ignorant fools and always fall for populist hate and false promises

But why is it on the rise. Did the majority get more foolish or is it just more of them so foolishness is amplified disproportionately?

Because it's a different brand of bullshit, that's closer to reality.
