Never accept medicines from people who applaud genocide
- an adage you'll never hear on MSM
First, let's look briefly at Arendt's definition of fascism, as it relates to North American post-war suburbia:
The suburbs represented the devastation of the traditional urban neighboorhood, and the community.
It lead to dangerous, machine-dominated public spaces, that made "a viable public life" impossible.
Hannah Arendt posits that Fascism's primary strategy is to strip citizens of their ability to communicate and organize with neighbors and passers-by. This eliminates any kind of community that might be used to fight against the abuses of the powerful.
In a suburban world, citizens are always alone (in their cars, in front of screens) and they are thus incapable of defending themselves against the abuses of organized crime. Organized crime has a huge advantage over the alienated (contactless) suburbanite, and with 80% of North Americans living in the suburbs, you could say that we don't even have the POSSIBILITY of any kind of democratic social communication or actions.
All the suburbanite can do is burn things down when prompted to do so by mainstream media. The suburbanite can NEVER unite with neighbors in order to develop common sense, or to be able to collectivily debunk the lies and atrocities committed and ordained by POWER.

IEP wrote:...For Arendt, the popular appeal of totalitarian ideologies with their capacity to mobilize populations to do their bidding, rested upon the devastation of ordered and stable contexts in which people once lived...
...The rise of totalitarianism was thus to be understood in light of the accumulation of pathologies that had undermined the conditions of possibility for a viable public life that could unite citizens...
