Yeah, but if I may speak from a hypothetical young person's POV, that's like, *effort*, maaan. (And moreover, the will to seek it out has to be "seeded"--and for all too many young people, the seeding never took place.)

And re my point about literacy vs post-literacy: if there's anything "unaffordable" and hence dispensible these days, it's a newspaper subscription, or any sort of tangible print media. Whereas aside from carrier costs, Youtube influencers and social media is perfectly "free".

And the dilemma is, that could trigger another Jan 6, or even worse. Yes, maybe it's worth running that risk, but...just saying.

The ghost of this actually played out in the last federal election. And I'd almost look at it as the divide btw/the demo formed through legacy media vs the demo formed through new media--the Cons know how to seize the attention of demos who grew up barely knowing the CBC or G&M even existed, as...

Not least because they'll probably be too distracted by domestic unrest--or too high on stoking it--in order to bother with Canada.

It does line up with the subtlety of my point. That is, they're sensitive to economic indicators because they *need* money. However, once they don't need money, they can have all the eggs and all the gas they want--for free! Or where spending money is no problem because in a Musk-ian...

However, here's a subtle point: maybe it isn't just about money. In fact, and Elon Musk's promise of AI-era "universal high income" leads me to such thinking: maybe what said Americans would *most* covet is *not needing* money. Where the riches are plentiful and abundant and just pouring in...

Basically, global rejection and even retaliation isn't going to faze what is, in effect, a massive suicidal death cult--indeed, it might even fuel it. Give a bunch of ugly, stupid, tasteless redneck yokels and Jesus freaks the nuclear codes, and they'll gladly blow up the planet if it means...

The American public *at large*. However, keep in mind that it's the land of the school shooting and the mass killing. Mass rejection might not prevent the act of a deranged individual--or, a Waco-type cult of deranged individuals who may be using said deranged individual to pursue a particular...

Of course, I'm subliminally referencing 1939. (Given all the other dogwhistles the admin's been offering through memes and podium slogans, why not)

At this rate, it won't be long until the US makes a move on Poland.

You realize the Telegraph is right-inclined, too, do you? Try a paper that isn't a UK version of a Postmedia editorial stance.

Well, the UN still has a default location in Geneva. But also, remember who's in charge of the US here. *They* may not opt to leave NYC of their own volition; however, if they find a horse's head in their bed, well then...

Given how many of these are UN-related, how long is it before the US withdraws from the UN? Or, for that matter, asks that the UN withdraw from the US? (Lotsa valuable Manhattan property that Trump would covet as a development opportunity.) And of course, I've speculated time and again on the...

It'll probably wind up happening, anyway, once the MAGA US deports and liquidates everyone who isn't MAGA, and civil war leads citizens to butcher and dismember one another as if it were some sh*thole country in Africa.
