Imo fascism is a natural consequence of hate and apathy. Introspection by individuals and willingness to change are how you overcome those issues. Governments can’t force people to empathize but perhaps better education and less superstition can help.
One of the major things that got us here was disinformation/misinformation. I believe in free speech, for sure. I don’t think that means everyone with a gripe should be platformed. I also think we needed to do much better protecting our data. One of the main reasons the algorithm works is there are no protections for individuals data. Breach after breach. Whistle blower after whistle blower. They weren’t being dramatic. We all became test subjects and what did big tech do with what could otherwise be described as ground breaking sociology reseach? Seize power.
What other things, specifically?
