INSTRUCTIONS FOR BECOMING A FASCIST:
— Name your enemies
— Encourage intimidatory violence in all its forms
— Call on freedom of speech whenever you are criticized for hateful language
— Cast doubt on the authority of experts, so that all opinions hold the same authority: none
— Undermine boring, accepted facts about history
— Never actually call yourself a fascist
