I spent an unreasonable amount of time here on the differences between modern fascism and what people are referring to when they say fascism 1.0 2.0 and 3.0:
A picture that reads "same hate new look" with pictures of fascism 1.0 2.0 and 3.0 image of person with covered in tattoos with a shaved head and black boots. the red laces match the red suspenders, and the person is holding a baseball bat. Text: Fascism 1.0 originated in the late 70s and reached its peak in the 80s and 90s. It consisted of boneheads (racist skinheads), a resurgence of the KKK, Christian Identity, and private far-right militias. Unlike other fascist movements in the US, this movement was more explicit and outspoken in their white supremacist messaging, symbolism, and use of violence. They relied on their reputation for violence through an overt display of fascist symbols and group affiliations to convey fear and recruit those in support of their goals. They primarily recruited in person, centering around music, religion, or subcultures, and also utilizing printed publications. While the urban environments were marred by youth gangs of boneheads violently attacking minorities, the rural environments included KKK and militias focusing more on anti-government rhetoric and actions. Notable People: David Duke, Tom Metzger, Don Black, Ian Stewart Donaldson, David Lane, Richard Butler Image of a person with a haircut shaved on the sides and long on top, wearing a button up shirt and khakis and carrying a tiki torch. text: Fascism 2.0 came around in the late 2000s as the alt-right came into existence. There was a social push within fascism of "boots to suits," which referred to trading in one's combat boots and covering tattoos (or not getting any in the first place) to present a more clean-cut, professional appearance. The purpose of this social push was for fascists to infiltrate the military, police, FBI, politics, and other aspects of government and respectable society that they otherwise would not be able to get into. This infiltration had the goals of either co-opting existing power structures, or waiting for future social upheaval to leverage those positions and establish a fascist society. The rhetoric surrounding 2.0 started to include more of both intellectual, academic arguments, and the edgy shock humor of memes. Unique to 2.0 was the recruiting of various minorities into key positions for the purpose of optics, hiding their hate behind the identities of these few token minorities. This period of rebranding fascism included a shift from in-person interactions to online recruiting, retention, and spreading propaganda via memes, forums, and social media. Notable People: Richard Spencer, Milo Yiannopoulos, Steve Bannon, Matthew Heimbach image of person in sweatpants and sleeveless hoodie with a celtic cross on it lifting a weight. text: Fascism 3.0 attempts to re-brand the movement once again by taking a more modern approach and incorporating aspects of the first two into their own organizing; attempting to have the militancy of the 1.0 with the respectability of the 2.0. Coming into existence in the years surrounding 2020, this iteration of the movement focuses on physical fitness, sensational public displays, and a decentralized organizational strategy. Much of the members and leadership of the 3.0 are older boneheads from the 1.0 movement, as is apparent in the crossover between the Hammerskins and Active Clubs. 3.0 groups like Patriot Front often describe “activism” in the form of flash mobs marching down the street in matching clothes, stickers and other graffiti, and creating propaganda videos. Their recruiting is done almost exclusively online, primarily through telegram. Unlike 2.0, which marketed itself to a variety of people including minorities, 3.0 focuses almost exclusively on cis, white, able-bodied men, and many groups will not allow the membership of people not matching this description. Notable People: Robert Rundo, Thomas Rousseau, Sean Kauffmann

Tucker Carlson has always been one of the clearest examples of this. Even on Fox News, he sounded indistinguishable from what you would find on white nationalist or neo-Nazi podcasts. Those fringe shows couldn't push the "great replacement" into mainstream discourse—but Tucker Carlson did.

Trump is in open war with US cities.

Hes using financial leverage and the power of law enforcement to not only inflict damage, but to diminish power.

This is being cheered on by half the country, and it’s just the beginning.

Typically the full impact of economic policy takes several quarters to years to learn. The speed at which we have seen devastating results is shocking in itself. This is just the beginning of the worst economic policy in modern American history.
In 2025, intensified Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids in Oxnard, California, disrupted the state's $49 billion agricultural industry, a critical supplier of 75% of U.S. fruits and nuts and one-third of its vegetables. This paper quantifies the economic consequences of these raids on labor markets, crop production, and food prices using econometric modeling. We estimate a 20-40% reduction in the agricultural workforce, leading to $3-7 billion in crop losses and a 5-12% increase in produce prices. The analysis draws on USDA Economic Research Service data and recent ICE detention figures, which show arrests in Southern California rising from 699 in May to nearly 2,000 in June 2025. The raids disproportionately affect labor-intensive crops like strawberries, exacerbating supply chain disruptions. Policy recommendations include expanding the H-2A visa program and legalizing undocumented workers to stabilize the sector. This study contributes to agricultural economics by providing a data-driven assessment of immigration enforcement's economic toll.
