"Fascism comes to life as a mood, not a platform; it slips in through the cracks of a culture on the level of art and language itself, too often undetected. The deluge of images across all our various screens never stops-one second you're looking at a photograph of Syrian children suffering in the wake of a chemical attack, the next you're feeling bad about yourself because of someone else's pristine Instagram selfie. And before you can process or...
