How San Francisco (?!) Helped Give Birth to Modern American Fascism
Huh, with this I’m starting to appreciate the significance of Harvey Milk being shot in 1978. There had already been three Dirty Harry movies! Which is not to say they inspired Dan White, but they’re testament that “San Francisco is falling apart at the hands of freaks and crazies, and what it needs is a reactionary SFPD cop to tighten things back up by shooting people on his own initiative” was not really an inch out of alignment with what’s by now become the mainstream narrative of the period
