Wouldn't be the first time Minecraft was involved, somehow.

Part of the problem is those specific tools require enough of a consensus from the populous to see wide use. There's a schism in the states in what is considered reality rn. So either that schism will continue or something will somehow reunite us. We've already seen the relationship between state level government and federal government become publicly hostile. So the smart money is probably on the former. If things continue the fed won't go away or get reformed, it will just become less and less trusted by states who oppose it

Depending on your political philosophy this might be for the better in the long run even if rn sucks . But the big elephant in the room is that no state (no not even Texas or California), is economically able to cede. The biggest and most obvious issues are water and food. If you can't figure out where to get those other than the states you oppose or the fed you don't trust, then you're screwed

So yeah I don't think we're in any sort of unified resistance era despite what Lemmy likes to suggest. Each state is too reliant on each other state. The slow grinding decay will continue on far longer than anyone wants

The thing is, the entire us economic system is busy trying to make the distinction between employment and homelessness as thin as possible.

They want you to extract zero extra value from being employed with them, they want every single interaction blown apart and separate.

The entire goal of Samuelson-derived econ is precisely to leave people with nothing left to lose. This is why Rights and Deeds and Compacts are so important, they are emotional bulwarks that the extractive class can provide at, frankly, very low cost.

And the Epstein class has decided to shred the final pretenses of civil rights just as their idiotic war will destroy the economy.

A lot of people perceive themselves as having way less to lose than you think.
