Corporate consolidation of media, systematic dismantling of the education system, decades of red-scare rhetoric and crackdowns on left-populism, corporate capture of both parties and the state-funded spread of radical Evangelical churches.

This has been the general plan for decades, ever since the New Deal and Civil Rights movement, to unwind every inch of progress ever made since the abolition of slavery. The Epstein Class will take us all kicking and screaming back into the darkness of unenlightenment, a new dark age of unspeakable horrors.

Also, a lot of normies like Star Wars as a normal action franchise, so there's some general randomness to the sample. Star Trek pretty specifically appeals to that specific type of nerd, there's a lot more consistency in the results you can expect.

Well... Here's hoping KDE Plasma Mobile takes off I guess...

Oh, yeah. Gardening is lovely, just don't expect to be able to feed yourself (or anyone else) in the immediate future by planting some tomatoes by your kitchen window, starting now. It would be a while before you could harvest, and it would be a very small yield, assuming you get a good healthy crop. A lot of people act like the average Joe or Jane could feed their household and neighbors with minimal effort and a few square feet of free space by their window, when that's just not realistic - at least, not for most people.

It's a little late to start a food garden. You won't be getting any harvests for a while, and it won't be much. Best to stock up on shelf-stable goods now, and build community for mutual aid.

We could never break our ties with Narnia! They're our strongest allies in the Magic Kingdoms!

Says some egghead, and any normal sane person on the ground-level.

Sure, but don't deflect the responsibility to fix the economy onto the individual, this is a problem of monopoly and should be treated as such.

That's just gives Fluxer more time to prepare for the switch 👍

This is about implementing E2EE directly into ActivityPub, so that has nothing to do with this.
