Griffin's concept of "palingenetic ultranationalism" - the myth of national rebirth after a period of decline - remains a crucial framework for identifying proto-fascist movements. Constitutional democracy dies through a thousand cuts, not a single blow.

Snyder builds on this in "On Tyranny," specific patterns: attacks on independent media, creation of a single-party state, w/exploitation of social crises to consolidate power. Like Paxton, Snyder emphasizes that fascism doesn't arrive suddenly - it's a gradual process of institutional decay.

Hannah Arendt's analysis in "The Origins of Totalitarianism" highlights how fascism often begins with the deliberate erosion of truth and shared reality. The movement creates parallel institutions and narratives that supplant existing democratic structures.

The key isn't just demanding accountability - it's HOW we do it. Skip the "it's all corrupt!" takes. Instead: ask specific questions, demand real evidence, and recognize that public spending oversight is more complex than private audits (but just as necessary).

"Let's find waste!" = Good 👍
"Let's ignore security!" = Bad 👎

Note: Keeping it real while keeping it safe. We need both accountability AND security. That's not propaganda - that's common sense! 💡​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Your financial privacy isn't partisan. If you hate surveillance, be consistent about it! GAO/IGs already track waste legally.

Mathematical Impossibility
The documents argue it's "mathematically impossible for even a statistically-significant percentage of crypto holders to have any notable ROI"
The HODL strategy depends on what's described as a "de-facto ponzi scheme" requiring constant new buyers
