We have learned what happens when a fascist leader implements martial law and gives themselves extensive powers to fully clinch a full dictatorship.

No, just the original direction of the spring changes.

I've always thought of it as more an up and down split between authoritarianism and libertarianism. Authoritarians on both sides seek to limit rights and freedoms and any kind of dissent, the difference is who and what they generally target. All of it just corrodes into a control system for the sake of control.

It just becomes a question who decides what is and isn't mis/disinformation. Imagine the trump regime doing this.

I believe that version has pretty good support for custom roms.

Absolutely no country can withstand the full might of the US military. I'm not talking about going head to head with the US. I'm just saying if something happens by another country we cannot rely on the US for support.

I hate funding war but I'm not naive to think we're not going to need to build up our forces in our uncertain times, especially with the chaotic unreliable ally we have South.

If you own a homestead that could work until your solar needs maintenance that requires the old system.

No electricity or running water gets old fast.

China is by far less belligerent than the US/Israel.

That's fair. Self care is important. I wish you well in your efforts.

It's not just here, it's everywhere. Conspiracy theories run rampant in all places. No one is able to trust anything when there's so much mis/disinformation out there.
