We are just going to keep firing at our own feet until we fall all the way over.

Naw, America isn't "the world" - but it is the locus and high church of the cult of capitalism. And capitalism is literally burning us all to death. So unfortunately there is no "saving the world" without doing something about America in this context. There are of course, multiple possible "somethings" - but in this sense, American capitalism must fall because the rest of capitalism globally exists in collaboration with it and won't go down as long as it remains.

For the SF Chronicle, I wrote about getting canceled from #twitter (& switching to Mastodon):
It’s an honor to get canceled by Musk, who is welcoming neo-Nazis back to Twitter while banning reporters. Still, it’s admittedly terrifying to see him cross the bright red line of declaring outright war against freedom of the press.
Twitter has become a virtual simulation of authoritarian rule.

Normally making fun of someone's passing is in bad taste but I think Tim Curry of all people would be someone who would actually appreciate this.

Quand un maire de droite vient pavaner à un festival musical, alors que son action au département est défavorablement connue des milieux culturels, se passe évidemment ce qu'il devait se passer... Mais il a quoi dans la tête franchement ?

Armed federal agents, contractors enter Tohono O’odham Nation land for border wall-related drilling
"The Tohono O’odham Nation says approximately 20 masked and armed Customs and Border Protection agents escorted Department of Homeland Security contractors onto tribal land Tuesday, where the contractors began conducting pre-construction activities at three locations near the U.S.-Mexico border.
According to a press release from the Nation, the contractors were using drill trucks to conduct soil sampling and other activities."

I'd just be a lot more sympathetic to your position if it was "hey, I'm gonna take a day off from the nonstop rioting to get rid of Hitler I've been doing to vote for the lesser evil on the off chance the American legal and political systems can repair some of the damage these Nazis are doing but I assure you I'll be right back to the barricades once I've dropped off my ballot..."
But it's not. And I think you know that.
And I'm not criticizing your courage or whatever. I'm telling you that your plan for how to stop these nazis, unfuck the hellworld and indeed save the entire species, doesn't make a lotta sense and is extremely unlikely to be effective - not just enough, but even at all.
Oh no, I'm going to end up writing my own protocol stack on top of RS-485 aren't I?
