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. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    1. NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    2. Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    3. Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----

These might be the good old days. Go outside, feel the grass, say wassup to your neighbors,... whatever you do that means community, because sh*t might get bad for a while.

But that would require them to reign in the very same companies that sponsor them. One can hope, but it seems unlikely.

Companies don't want fascism, they just want tax breaks. Civil war and dictatorships are bad for business.

Fascism is very good for businesses. They squash dissent like unions and the publics voice. Then only the billionaire class will have a voice.

Billionaires in China have been disappeared before. There's only the head of state that matters in fascism.

Only the chosen few businesses, and entirely at the whims of the dictator. Your CEO pisses off the leader, your business goes bye bye.

Fascists weren't bad for companies like VW, BMW, and Hugo Boss.

Tell that to Volkswagen, BMW, Messerschmitt, Audi, Deutsche Bank.... And all these guys: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_companies_involved_in_the_Holocaust

It's a cult of personality. Jack Smith and the Judiciary just needs to step on the gas as soon as the election is called for Harris, get him gone. It'll be interesting to see where the GOP goes from there, but MAGA will be dead. Would anyone else be happy with your normal everyday NeoCons running the GOP again?
