Smart take on language fatigue around Nazi comparisons. The shift to paramilitary police state terminology actualyl works better bc it describes the mechanism not just the ideology. When terms lose their edge through overuse they stop triggering the alarm response we need. Fresh framing matters for mobilzation
Thanks for the comment. When I wrote this yesterday so I could post it this morning I had a long footnote about advertising, branding, and marketing. Then I realized it was so long it should be in a separate post, so I added a lot to it and put it online by itself "Advertising, marketing, branding and selling a political product. How Trump uses it and how I could have become another Don Draper." here >> https://halbrown.substack.com/p/advertising-marketing-branding-and
Am guilty of reading your footnote. Usually, I just glance over, but find them very illuminating. When you see someone's sources, then, you can decide whether sources are credible or not. A journal or diary or even a newspaper is first step towards verified facts, IMO.
I appreciate that you read the footnote. It was so long I decided that some people might note see it - I doubt everyone clicks the footnote number. I thought I'd make it into a separate story and when I copied it I added a lot. For some reason the Substack platform doesn't allow a Substacker to manually arrange how the stories look on the main page so I couldn't get both this and the new one to be at the top of the page. It is there if you scroll down or click "Archive" on the top of the page. Anyway, here's the link to the advertising, branding, and marketing story >> https://halbrown.substack.com/p/advertising-marketing-branding-and
