Culture is the primary battlefield authoritarians use to establish a foothold in the public imagination, where fear is normalized, dissent is demonized, and history is rewritten to serve the interests of power.

Our conversation was sparked after we read an article on this topic that Henry Giroux wrote and submitted to the LA Progressive. That article can be found here:
