The nostalgia fuelled rejection of change, the replacement of consistent rules for all to follow, with arbitrary judgement based on the common sense of the 'majority'. To the elevation of magical thinking, magical individuals, the belief that deep rooted structural problems can be addressed by just getting the right angry leader in to lay down the law,
and then of course there's the relentless sportswashing of mass murdering regimes of fundamentalist extremists, the veneration of Russian oligarchs, the glorification of billionaires.......
christ only knows what the American lads are going to get up to.

Nothing says winter like an inappropriate Nazi fetish? Nothing says winter like a war fantasist? Nothing says winter like a pair of fascist socks? What could possibly make sense at the end of that sentence?

I don't know if I would have lead with Guernica tbh. They were used in that attack, but they were a very small part of it. It was the german equivalent of the spitfire, so I would have gone with the battle of britain, or the invasion of Russia.
