I've been thinking of late about the imminent threats of fascism and totalitarianism, and this quotation by @charliejane pretty much sums it up:

“A society that has to burn witches to hold itself together is a society that has already failed, and just doesn't know it yet.”
― Charlie Jane Anders, All the Birds in the Sky

@kimlockhartga @charliejane I was thinking the same thing last night as I watched the opening scenes of “Greyhound “ with Tom Hanks. There’s a Catalina Flying Boat escorting a convoy across the Atlantic and that was my father-in-law’s contribution in WW2. With fascism reemerging it is time to review what works/what doesn’t work to prevent the rise of dictators. The U.N. and democracy with oligarchs aren’t working. More unions and money out of politics would help.
