How about this? Assume that, in a federal government wholly captured by an American Oligarchy™, there are no random acts. Stop thinking like a temporarily embarrassed millionaire, and start thinking like a peasant whose aristocrat rulers are trying to steal your right to live as a free person.

Cannot recommend highly enough “Kajaki: the True Story“. Possibly the best war movie I’ve ever seen. Apparently released in US as “Kilo Two Bravo” - ignore that cringe, 100% Rotten Tomatoes says it all.

Meet the destroyer HMS Glowworm. In April 1940 she was forced to fight the German Heavy Cruiser Admiral Hipper, ten times her size, and Hipper's destroyer escorts.
Her extraordinary last stand earned her captain the first Victoria Cross of WW2. In part because THE GERMANS nominated him for one /1 🧵

From 1890 to 1940, the average age of first marriage for women was 21.5 to 22. (It slightly declined over that 50 years).
In 1950, it dropped more than a year to 20.3. And didn’t recover to above 21.5 until 1980 (when it was 22).

7 years is a long life for an online community. In my exp you get a year or two of Shangri-La, a second phase of Forum Wars, during which time you slowly lose the emotionally intelligent, and then the trolls start turning on each other and it’s the hunger games without the sparkling conversation.

No, you can't throw that away. No, I know I've said that I'll never read it again and it was completely crap. No you don't understand, if it went then *that* book would be sad. The whole shelf would be all wrong & upset.
