Yes, the EU and other alliances in general, and individual states specifically, need to reestablish technical and financial independence, and keep it. International alliance can and should also be made, with the goal of always, always guarding sovereignty at home.

He's not wrong.

And yet you're thinking about it, a lot more than most people do. Maybe there's nothing much you can actively do, maybe there is. You're being hard on yourself when you've only just begun the first step, which is thinking about a problem. Give yourself a little time and grace. I will.

Is there any actual understanding of how catastrophic this is, and will continue to be? Like, any internalization or admission of what’s happening?

Most people here don't have any post-secondary education, but on a deep instinctive level are processing it as best they can. I'm of the opinion it's still deeply subconscious, as far as implications, but is working it's way to being consciously grasped beyond immediate implications. This is farm country, and there are plenty who don't have that level of inference yet. The old timers remember immediate Post-Depression efforts and the second Great War, so they're cottoning on. Admission? And panic the children? These things are discussed in the fields, not in public.

I mean, these were people barely out of the caves trying to populate a nation. Mainstream religion has always been political propaganda, and kind of intentionally missing the point.

It's suddenly a problem when it regulates men. Bet.

Yes, where I am, even cash requires it. Guard your liberties, fiercely.

SIM still has to be tied to a name.

I'm wondering if there's external influence on these decisions/targets.

I was just pondering Bolivian alligators. I'm not well-versed on plenty of things, but that terminology just felt wrong.

I'd say that's mostly because that's what the money wants
