Personally, I sometimes ponder if this is a part of The Great Filter. We have evolved to survive under constant threats in harsh environments, so when those dangers and threats are removed we don’t know how to handle it. We start to perceive minor things as bigger problems. I wonder if this is part of what we need to learn to deal with before we can live peacefully with our neighbours and nature.

This is funny, but would be more accurate if it said “MAGA Christians” instead of “White Christians”.
I’m an atheist and most of the Christians I know are pretty accepting. It’s almost as if they respect the teachings of Jesus and aspire to be more like him, unlike all too many MAGA Christians.
Exactly. FUD is what the opposition use to keep the revolution from happening, to prevent those who want to see change from believing it will work.
And as for accepting others, that’s another big hurdle to overcome. People need to put aside their differences to work towards a common goal, and for that there needs to be organised energetic leadership. Something else that the opposition tries to prevent.
According to this article, non-violent protests are even more effective than violent ones. Mobilise 3.5% of the population at once and you’re free. If any Americans try it, let me know how it goes.

Linux all the way for me. The games I play run on it, the applications I need run on it, and it works well for me without tinkering getting in the way. I can even use it for work these days and I have far less VPN flakiness than both Windows and Mac colleagues.
For my use case the year of the Linux desktop is here, and has been for a while.
I’ve heard this described as a velvet rut.
