1- There are more serious concerns in our times than discussing dead ideas. Yet, historically, Fascism has struck root, suppressed opposition, & imposed strict intellectual & political regimentation in vulnerable societies at their psychological & economic nadir. #Lebanon today?
2- That is why I wish to briefly weigh in on one such Fascism today; a vicious opportunist; Arabism & its "original sin," & by association its bedfellow Islamism. Namely, I wish to address the phenomenon's original hooliganism, which strikes me as a behavioral mental disorder.
3- Without intruding on the field of Psychology, which is not my own, I shall approach Arabism & its knack for hectoring & violent outbursts from the angle of Intellectual History, Philology, & the History of Ideas & Political Thought—dovetailing closer with my own training.
