 The road to fascism is lined with moderates and people on the internet telling you to stop overreacting.

Moderates, as in the non-alt-left/alt-right... the "Reasonable" part of both those spectrum? Or did you maybe mean centrists? I mean id disagree either way but very weird to say being reasonable/moderate (not ideologically extreme) is going to destroy the world...

Fascism also thrives on rich people who want you to believe things that benefit them. The wealthy own and use the MSM to put their message forward. Many folks do not have the drive, time or money to seek real truth, instead, many rely on free, manipulative news full of half-lies designed to comfort, reassure and guide those who are living desperate lives created by those same lies.
