Nationalism, Fascism & the Art of Re-Framing Meanings to Target Your Enemies

In this week’s 12:2 Podcast, Kevin and Bud look back at the original meanings and historical contexts of terms like Nationalism, Fascism and Socialism, and demonstrate how these words are continually being re-defined to fit whatever political target that progressives want to go after. For instance, the term ‘nationalism’ originated largely with movements like National Socialism in Germany (Nazi) and Italy. Progressivism now is even attempting to ‘reposition’ the meaning of word ‘patriotism’ to mean the same type of forceful, despotic ‘nationalistic’ leadership deployed by heads of state like Mussolini and Hitler. The guys even touch on how the current government shutdown is being by driven economic factors that have roots in some of these diabolical and historical movements.
