It looks more like a religious cult every single day.

Plenty of people do.
Just not the people who own newspapers, TV stations and online platforms.

People need to choose a side. If this ends without banks and the IMF being burned to the ground and the entire financial system being torn to pieces and rebuilt along human lines then the same rent-seeking class will build it up again like they did in the 80s.
There needs to be nothing left to rebuild.
Oct 20, 2026, 12:11 PM@ReggieHere @TCatInReality There's the problem of tech levels. With the human population being what it is, and our life expectations being what they are, it will be difficult to keep all the stuff going that keeps everybody alive. We've made it extra hard by painting ourselves into a corner with technologies that are so specialised to manufacture, even a slight disturbance to the status quo is likely to render them unavailable.
