In Canada (or at least in Manitoba, where I'm from), it's been the same for decades. Farmers drain wetlands to increase crop size and poison the waterways with excessive pesticides and fertilizers. Draining wetlands is really shortsighted considering climate change is predicted to bring less rain and the capacity of the land to store water naturally has been destroyed. The gov tried to put in measures to protect wetlands years ago, the next gov got rid of those measures.

“Let me be very clear: There is a genocide in front of our very eyes. A livestreamed genocide on all of our phones. No one has the privilege to say, “we are not aware of what is happening.” No one in the future will be able to say “we did not know.” -- Greta Thunberg.

Umberto Eco's essay Ur-Fascism has 14 characterists too. https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/umberto-eco-ur-fascism
Hannah Arendt argued in The Origins of Totalitarianism that the Nazis and Bolsheviks were internationalists (not nationalists), seeking world domination. The only reason the Nazis combined socialism and nationalism in name only was to appeal to workers and conservatives at the same time. The Nazis used mass deportation to control policies in foreign countries (like Trump is doing today).

My kindle has never connected to the internet (could be a trick to keep bezos out of your device). I boycotted amazon years ago and get books from the library.
