“Why isn’t anti-fascism a bigger topic at EAG events (or on this forum)?” by Alex_Z
Alex Zied, author of the Forum post and active in local anti-fascist work, asks why creeping authoritarianism and anti-fascism get little attention in EA spaces. He explains advocacy norms, uses a fog metaphor for authoritarian drift, anticipates objections, shares a Toronto account, and urges clear trigger points and EA-relevant responses like mutual aid and resilience.
