Spot the despot


Hey, if you aren’t listening to atheists talk radio, watch this 1946 film for schools from Encyclopedia Britannica. It’s practically a cliche: black & white, dreadfully wooden ‘acting’, the serious narrator, but it’s also describing how to tell a democracy from a despotism, and the warning signs that your culture is in trouble, in ways that are relevant.

It’s a little disturbing, too. It’s like they’re describing us.
