@hacks4pancakes Nazi Germany was as bad! Only slightly more intelligent, competent and efficient than the Musk-Trump presidency. Unitedstatians are now at the same level of citizens of North Korea or maybe Iran but much less educated!

@armando sadly it’s easier to digitally delete history than make big book fires.

@hacks4pancakes @armando I think it's largely the opposite. All the stuff they want to delete exists in countless archives distributed physically around the world. It's not easier to delete. Just easier to disrupt normal folks' easy access.

@dalias @armando @hacks4pancakes Way easier to move around too.

A single pigeon can easily carry a 2TB microsd card, which can fit quite a few books & archives.

Attempting to move trainloads of library books is neither subtle nor cheap.

Pigeon with microsd is today's station wagon I guess.

@hacks4pancakes @armando

The ENTIRE CDC website has been copied off-site, and out of country. So much of what's helpful is available. Part of fighting back.

Research has been cancelled by the Russian agents, helpful people fired, and the rights removed, and checks gone missing. Its a lot of hate.

@armando @hacks4pancakes the thing is the power of the American Exceptionalism myth - you're indoctrinated with it intensively in so many ways from the moment you can understand words. It's only when you travel outside of the US that you really get to see how the rest of the world views the USA. And today it's anything but admiration.
