Watch fascism unfold in the United States in real-time. An automated system tracking and classifying global headlines against historically confirmed steps toward fascism.

Hi HN, Wanted to share a project I made over the weekend - a real-time fascism tracker. The site fetches recent news from trusted sources, filters it for keywords related to fascism and the current US administration, and then sends it to GPT-4o for classification according to the 14 characteristics of fascism described by Dr. Lawrence Britt. With the rapid pace of news in the US, especially post-election, it’s hard to keep up. I built this site so you can quickly see important topics and draw parallels with similar historical events. Would love to hear your thoughts. - Ryan

    “Current Threat Level: Low”

    I think you’re running against the limits of what an LLM can really effectively judge. And, how it’s been fine-tuned to be “safe” and nonoffensive in the way that it speaks.

      running [up] against the limits of what an LLM can really effectively judge

      Yeah it’s pretty easy to run up against “anything of consequence.”
