Professor Jason Stanley, philosopher of propaganda and fascism, now at the University of Toronto after a high‑profile departure from Yale to, as he puts it, “spit the truth”.
He describes the US as “a white supremacist nation” and unpacks how that connects to its sky‑high incarceration rates, even while it’s enjoying some of its lowest levels of violent crime.
From campus battles over what can and can’t be said about Israel, to classic fascist tactics and the quiet normalisation of far‑right ideas, he explains why the fascist Internationale ended up not working — and how power really does.
