Has digital technology turned us all into fascists?

Rushkoff explores fascism as an environment in which we live, rather than the specific ideology of one "side." He shows how technology, psychedelics, and business are all "non-specific amplifiers," yielding different results depending on what we bring to them. He asks us to consider what would happen if we stopped seeing issues in terms of "sides," and why our current media and political environment makes that so difficult. How do we break the fascistic state of mind?
