What you're saying doesn't sound like what they're saying and I don't know why you would choose to portray them that way

They are all Dunnig-Kruger's when it comes to economics
Economists have even worse Dunnig-Kruger when it comes to economists.
I lean towards the "No" side and I'm mostly informed by Daniel Bessner's work and Richard Evans' book "The coming of the third reich" about the rise of the Nazi movement, that goes for Trump as well as other far-right parties around nowadays. The center argument against I think is the lack of mass politics in these countries (not the case in Israel and maybe India), and that most people who use fascist just mean it as a term of insult for the right, like calling social democrats "communist".
Danny's been on some chapo episodes, did that Hinge Points show with Matt and does a global politics podcast called American Prestige.
If anyone wants a quick rehash of the debate there's this podcast called Spaßbremse (it's mostly about german politics from a left perspective, in english) and the host, which used to lean "No" and now leans "Yes", recently (past 2 episodes I think) brought on Danny to argue for No, and then in another episode gave the right of response to John Ganz to argue for "Yes", I recommend those 2 episodes because each are under an hour long and I think Ganz presented the strongest case for "Yes" I've seen so far. I would like if the host brought Danny back to respond.
