In ZNet, Prof. John Morrissey examines the paralysis that takes root in the face of political populism, outlining the dangers of not calling out untruths and not standing up for perilous worlds beyond ourselves. In recalling the paralysis of the Third Reich, he points to the echoes today in an ascendant fascism across the globe, and cautions against modernity’s propensity to forget history’s most important lessons.
