I treat most Facebook ads the same as I do those in newspapers and magazines. Slide right on by them and read the things from friends and of interest to me. Ads help keep things free, or in the case of news, magazines and even snail mail, reasonably priced. The weekly survey and fund raising mail from the Nazi Party Judicial Watch gives me great pleasure to shred, though I did send the first one back with “FUCK YOU NAZIS” in magic marker on it! 😄 Religious or Trumplican Facebook ads I just swipe by. My guess is if you respond at all, it just encourages them to send more.

Or the Republican run states making "The Handmaiden'" novel seem like a documentary.

If it was a choice between Fascism and Communism, I would have to go with both, since they both involve giving up individual freedom of thought. Socialism on it’s own can involve many forms of shared commitments without taking away your personal freedoms or annexing industry beyond making it responsible for the welfare of their workers. One group you didn’t mention, and perhaps because it can exist with or independent of the others is Theocracy, which I find as scary as Fascism on many levels.

FANATICISM! Be it religious, non religious, political, sports, Chevy v. Ford, Merlot v. Pinot Noir. They all have one thing in common: a total lack of interest in having their mind changed. And, if you take on the challenge, once they run out of valid facts and sensible argument, they will attack you personally. From insulting your profile picture, your cultural heritage, your bone structure to just plain name calling. One need only look at Donal Trump and his followers to see this taken to it’s Zenith. Both on here and Facebook I run into Fanatics on a variety of topics. On the original confrontation I will usually offer whatever facs I can gather to show they are mistaken. If for some reason the facts don’t bare out my position, I would apologies and move on. If they continue to spew their malarkey, or try to get into name calling, the conversation is over. If there are other participants in the dialog and they wish to waste their time trading insults, more power to them. But I move on and find other things of interest. I am firm in my belief that prayer is as effective as a coin flip, that natural process is far more interesting than invisible man created deities, and random is more believable than miracles.

There is nothing wrong with seeking comfort in the idea that one never dies, but live on in some nether world.

Not someplace I would want to go anyway if it did exist. Can you imagine the billions of people there? And do you go the age you are or the condition you died? I'd rather deal with zombies! LOL. But if it helps people grieve and get through the trauma, let them have it. It certainly doesn't hurt you in any way. I had a friend at work one day we were discussing our religious or lack thereof beliefs. He said he was a believer because he could not fathom that his life would end after however many years he got to live and there had to be something else after. I found that to be the height of self aggrandisement and told him so! LOL I feel many people feel this way though, that no matter how long a person lived, there has to be more. I accept death as a part of life it is. It is the great equalizer and spares no one. You may be able to avoid taxes, but there is no avoiding death and all the praying, believing and faith to the contrary, you are going to be just as dead as I will be at some point. Enjoy life while you have it.

It will be interesting to see just how much he and his gang of Senators can foul up the election between now and November, because they have it seems no reservations or incentive not to at this point. Moscow Mitch set this failure of Democracy up long before Trump was put in office by refusing to even consider an Obama Supreme Court appointment a year ahead of the elections. He should have been marched off the Senate floor right then. But Democrats are nothing if not easy to scare and fearful of offending. Obama knew about the Russian aid going to Trump's campaign long before the election but was fearful of offending Republicans by make the announcement.
