It's a damn shame that so many right-wingers have flooded Lenny over the last year.

Sometimes I miss the pre reddit migration times.

I just buy refurbished or "New-Old-Stock" 2-year-old flagship phones off ebay for $100 or so bucks every other year.

The 4-Day Workweek is more important.

There's an interesting academic book called Climate Leviathan that investigates four different ways in which the governments of the world might evolve into a single global government as the climate crisis intensifies. Interesting read, but it deals with topics like this.

But couldn't it be easily inferred from the right-side of the image?

The young scions of our age find themselves in a curious juxtaposition to their forbearers, who once trembled at the thought of world-ending calamities unleashed by the fiery engines of the Autarch's weaponry. These newer souls scoff at such fears, deeming them hollow echoes of a past era, perhaps because they have been raised in the shadow of subtler, yet equally inexorable, dooms. To them, the threat of slow ruin wrought by the invisible maladies that pollute our waters and air, or the gradual inferno that the Sun's ever-increasing wrath promises to our world, hold more tangible dread. For these youths, the prospect of instantaneous annihilation in a blaze of cosmic fire seems almost a reprieve, a quick severance of life's Gordian knot, sparing them the prolonged suffering promised by the ills that plague our slowly deteriorating Urth.

I prefer a more text based main post experience so this is gonna be good for me. Reddit used to be a fantastic discussion forum until every single post on /all was either an image post or video post. I wish there was a way to completely disable media posts so I could just view discussion posts.

Well, I suppose we'll just have to disagree, but even though I find your opinions and perspectives to be mostly generalized embellishments and without nuance I still appreciate you for providing them.

They would quash any serious attempt at civil war or revolt of or between any political extreme in order to maintain the current status quo. The government and the military are both owned by the corporate class. The left is a very very small minority in the US and they don't even have a mainstream political influence or party. The US just has the socially liberal right-of-center Democrat party and the far-right conservative Republican party.

The right seems to be blinded by the thought that the US Military would support them, but luckily the modern US military would never support any side of a civil war and would simply squash any serious attempt of a fascist rebellion. What are they even going to be able to do? They can't shoot down drones with their AR-15s.
