"The more than 1 million people in southern Lebanon expelled en masse from their homes. What is so bewildering about the cruelty is how it has been allowed to pass, its casualness."
"Trump's seeming lack of vision or ideology are misread as attributes that make him somehow less dangerous than the authoritarians of the past who have become the template for what evil looks like."
"He is animated by little more than momentary impulses and resentments. Trump's actions, killing of innocents, and indeed, the threatening of entire civilisations are reshaping the world."
"Trump is inept, inconsistent, puzzling and exasperating, but not a fascist, he claims. He doesn't hold rallies, wear uniforms or make fiery speeches from balconies to flag-waving throngs."
A kaleidoscope of disturbing images reflects the real violence occurring globally, such as the devastation in Gaza and Iran. The casualness of this cruelty is bewildering, with figures like Donald Trump embodying chaos without a coherent strategy. His actions, driven by impulses rather than ideology, challenge traditional definitions of authoritarianism. Critics debate whether Trump can be labeled a fascist, noting his lack of typical fascist traits like rallies or uniforms. Instead, he appears as a comic figure, revealing a troubling reality beneath the surface.
