| What do you do when
fascists take over? John Steinbeck's The Moon Is
Down lays it out plain: RESIST.
Who would have guessed this
1943 film (and the
novel it's based on) would be so timely in
2017? But then again the fascist
tendency has been with us since WW2, it's just
out
in the open now. As 4Shadows
sang long ago, "The only problem with fascism is
most people like it." That's the insidious
thing--the tipping point comes when a critical mass
of citizens accept it, either out of fear, apathy,
or ignorance. Now how do we overcome generations of
lackluster education and corporate brainwash?
