>>> 2. There is no time to raise children. This is especially true since most families cannot afford to have a stay-at-home-parent to raise the kids. Both parents must work full time, and spend the money they earn on daycare, so someone else can raise their kids for them. Not only is this a barrier in-and-of-itself, but it reduces the expected emotional rewards of being part of a family.
Japan had declining birth rates since the 70s when the vast majority of women was still at home.
The more racy shows like South Park, Family Guy etc. make socially progressive aesops on a regular basis and thus get away with it. They also have a writer stuff full of minorities that can do respective jokes unhindered. And if they make fun of a minority they usually make up for it in some way. For example they have an episode that ridicules the Mormon faith but the Mormon boy gets to berate the main character for intolerance.
There are only few people who get the ridiculed without sympathy like Paris Hilton, Saddam, bin Laden and Trump.
If it cannot give you complete independence in some area - energy, heating or electric car - its attractiveness is rather diminished.
Solar only works if you either have a huge roof or get a low energy heat pump for which you need a high level of insulation which may well cost six digits to achieve for existing houses.
I have the following problems with this definition:
- The main reasons why fascism is rejected today - the world war and the holocaust - are not on this list. But without these fascism is not substantially crueler than other authoritarian systems.
- I do not see racism on the list which is one of the major distinguishing factors between national socialism and stalinism.
- Almost all criteria on this list can be found in other dictatorial systems, even those that are marxist or theocratic in nature. For 8), Hitler found religion to be useful for a time but wanted to replace it with the state in the long run. For 9) and 10), corporations being privileged applies to lots of kleptocratic systems but they are still ultimately subjected to the state and ruling elite. And unions were tightly controlled in the soviet union too, disallowed form going on strike.
My impression is that whoever made that list lumped everything together they find authoritatian and socially cruel and callled it fascism.
It's two big parties that care mostly about money for themselves. The conservative/left split is mostly along the civil rights angle because it doesn't cost money only the dignity of the opposing demographic.
They could have had plenty of gorgeous side stories if they hadn't killed of the EU.

My city used to have something like this. A council that had to review every municipal building project for environmental impact and that was stacked with green party members who kept delaying or refusing pretty much everything. The council was eventually abolished with the votes of the conservatives and worker party because the city is pretty rundown and desperately in need of something that could give it an economic boost.
No one is forcing you to upload your private life to social media. Facebook, Twitter, Reddit etc. can be used in perfect anonymity aside from the background scripts that can appear on any other webpage. The only reason people put private stuff there is due to their own narcissicm.
But you know what erodes my privacy? Having to provide a cellphone number or a government issued id for verification to those very same companies.
For me:
car 10 minutes to inner city
public transport around 30 minutes because change necessary
I live in europe myself and in a bigger city. There are still plenty of situations where a car is faster and more comfortable than public transport. Unless every facility you ever plan to visit lies directly next to a train station using public transport will have a time overhead which is unlikely in urban environments that grew organically.
Aren't electric cars still in need of the power themselves? Such a functionality would imply abundance of power when increasing battery storage is still one of the top problems as far as I know.

The easiest way to figure the cost of living is to take your income and add ten percent.
