RE: But, Its in the name so

Politically, I tend to agree. Trump is not the great savior of peace and prosperity his supporters seem to believe. Neither is he the reincarnation of Hitler as his opponents assert. He is his own form of populist authoritarianism and economic ignorance. Meanwhile, the State continues to metastasize no matter who is the figurehead. Maybe DOGE will chemo away some of the tumor, maybe not, but it will grow regardless.

Hope is found outside the sphere of politics. Gray markets, black markets, crypto, homesteading, hell, maybe even communes if commies want to try that voluntarily. The Internet has been used as a tool of censorship, but it also broke the media monopoly of corporate propaganda. We have access to more primary sources documents, alternative analysis, and so forth like never before. Sure, there's a lot of chaff to window from the wheat, but for those willing to do the work, the benefits are incalculable.
