Unlocked: Charlie Chaplin and the Road to Freedom
October 28, 2020 11:00 - 19 minutes - 13.4 MB"More than machinery, we need humanity." In 1940, Charlie Chaplin put aside the Tramp character to write, direct, and star in "The Great Dictator." Rather than his usual slapstick comedy, "The Great Dictator" was a thoughtful political comedy, that not only satirized but also denounced fascism. Side note: For making movies that criticized factory life, the Gold Rush, and the Nazis, Chaplin was accused of being a communist sympathizer and exiled from both the US and the UK. We can't con...

Unlocked: The Fascism and Cult Checklist
October 13, 2020 13:55 - 35 minutes - 24.6 MBMany of us have questions about spotting red flags for fascists and cults of personalities. Fortunately for us, philosopher Theodor W. Adorno and other researchers at University of California, Berkeley have already done the work. Studying fascist personality traits during and after World War II, their findings were published in 1950. However, you might be surprised how consistent these personality traits have remained. In fact, this is even more insightful today than it was back then because...
