When I first opposed the populist, economic, forgotten-man arguments (years ago), and then wrote a book about it, I got a lot of pushback because the economic narrative was firmly lodged among both right and left. It was always a red herring.
I’m not quite entirely persuaded by this essay but goddam it is very good and bracing. Really worth a read.

Thinking about this, it’s hard to believe that it’s been almost three years since I wrote this post on how far right the antivax movement has become. www.respectfulinsolence.com/2022/01/28/w...
Why is there now such an affinity between antivaxxers and fascism?
Increasingly, the antivaccine movement has become allied with fascism, including openly fascist groups marching in their rallies. Why?
