    12 Early Warning Signs of Fascism

    Powerful and continuing nationalism

    Constant flag-waving, slogans about “greatness,” and framing dissent as unpatriotic.

    Us-vs-them thinking (scapegoating)

    Blaming minorities, immigrants, or internal “enemies” for social or economic problems.

    Disdain for human rights

    Justifying abuses as necessary for security, order, or national survival.

    Identification of enemies as a unifying cause

    A shared fear or hatred is used to rally the population and suppress debate.

    Supremacy of the military or security forces

    Excessive glorification of police, military, or “law and order,” often alongside expanded powers.

    Rampant sexism and rigid gender roles

    Hostility toward feminism, LGBTQ+ rights, or non-traditional family structures.

    Controlled or attacked media

    Journalists labeled as enemies, “fake news,” or pressured through legal, financial, or political means.

    Obsession with national security

    Fear is used to justify surveillance, emergency powers, and erosion of civil liberties.

    Religion intertwined with government

    A dominant religion is used to justify laws, policies, or moral authority.

    Corporate power protected, labor power suppressed

    Close alignment between the state and favored businesses; unions and workers’ rights weakened.

    Disdain for intellectuals and experts

    Attacks on universities, scientists, teachers, and “elites,” often paired with anti-education rhetoric.

    Erosion of democratic norms

    Undermining elections, courts, or checks and balances while claiming to represent the “true will of the people.”

    I was calling it out for years, warning about what was coming. People said I was hyperbolizing.

    I couldn't understand how people didn't see this. It was plain as day, since at least January 6th 2021.
