.. Umm anyone with a lick of common sense was aware that fascism coming from the inside is the real threat. In very instance where fascism has taken over a country that is where it has come from.

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.

I guess you didn't watch "Iron Sky"
Good movie.
I'd like to point out that the timing in the prediction was off by... one presidency? 8 years? Pretty prophetic if you ask me...
From the 90's on things felt like they were getting better for a few years. Then things started going south.
This whole time the Democrats and the Republicans have had their endless political battles while ratcheting our rights away. We need the opposite.
Simple example, I want the right to immunization. If I think injecting myself with bleach is a great idea, I should be able to do that. But that's stupid so we need a CDC to tell us that explicitly and to prevent other stupid formulations from being legal. MRNA vaccines and other vaccines work for example. So one minor thing could be not denying vaccines. Another minor thing is to help the development of vaccines. One way is by not de-funding projects working on vaccines. Another is by not de-funding the education system that creates teachers, professors, doctors, scientists and engineers.
