I firmly believe that if we want to know how we would have reacted to increasing far-right toxicity in say, 1920 - it’s what we’re doing now. It’s how we are reacting now. It is our actions, now.
Great article. The hard thing to know is how to best resist? We can voice our concerns when people we know say stupid things - I do it daily - but the hard core we are seeing in Wellington are largely beyond listening. I staggers me how blindly some people I've heard about, relatives and acquaintances of good friends, have thrown away reason and sometimes careers over the vaccination and mandate issue. What don't they understand about science, experts and their responsibilities living in society?
