Happened once a long time ago, incredibly vivid dream and it was quite nice.
The core component of fascism is authoritarianism with totalitarian goals. Many nationalist movements throughout history have not been fascist in nature, and many non-fascists have embraced nationalist values without becoming fascists.
Also, claiming that a rise of fascism is inevitable under social liberalism is speculation at best.
Fascist? No.
There is certainly a popular reactionary swing away from social liberalism and towards national conservatism however.
I'd add starter cables to the list if they don't have it already. Cold weather can significantly weaken a car battery - and if it's already a bit old that might be enough.
I agree that it would be better if people used votes as a marker of quality, but strongly disagree on moderation action based on voting.
Personally, there's three scenarios when I use downvotes w/o commenting:
-
Someone has already voiced the reason
-
I don't have time/energy to comment
-
The target is a censored echo-chamber that will ban anyone who disagrees (can't vote/show disapproval if you're banned) - example would be .ml communities having moments about how stalinist USSR did nothing wrong.
Anyway, once a post from a community rises sufficiently to pop up on all, it becomes a part of the larger discussion, and voting will shift towards the opinions of the larger fediverse. This is also usually when communities get discovered by more people. If a community doesn't want the engagement of the wider user-base, a closed blog may be more suitable as a forum, or alternatively have an instance w/o downvoting.
When browsing all or new I do so both to break out of my bubble and to vote on content (usually stuff I find interesting).
I've many "fucking clues" about the topic, particularly relating to the Swedish healthcare system, albeit from a different perspective - it was literally my job.
Please be civil and respectful if you want the discussion to continue. I'm here to be constructive, not get into arguments.
How'd they feel that the Danish healthcare system was failing them?
Grid scale storage will be built en masse the moment it becomes economical, or when governments decide to use tax payer money to do it or subsidize it.
