We have allowed people to kick and scream if they don't get their own way for years (too long). Usually labelled the terrible twos, and involves two year olds. It seems some people never grow up or grow out of it.
Not sure if this is related to the recent shooting of a teacher by a six year old, but I think confiscating a gun from a six year old in a school is reasonable, and you don't expect to be shot for doing so.
I just wondered if all this is related, or if there is something else behind all this behaviour.

@TonyStark Well said Tony.
We definitely need to push for more organization at all levels. People seem to forget that local elections, even at the school board level, impacts everyone.
Besides organizing and all doing our part, the ‘adults in the room’ (like Garland et al.) need to hurry it up! I understand they need to have all their i’s dotted and t’s crossed, but I’m really frustrated and concerned about the amount of time trump and his co-conspirators have had to do more damage!
I've seen and heard a few comments saying Brazil's situation "resembles” the U.S. January 6 attack. It's worse than that.
It was inspired by and consciously modeled on the American insurrection. The GOP is no longer a pro-democracy party. They have been for years trying to destroy faith in our democracy and those around the world, undermine our institutions, and gain power to end our democracy.
They are a clear and present danger to our way of life, liberty, freedoms, and rights.
Many Americans used to believe our country was a beacon of freedom and democracy for the world. Republicans turned us into a beacon of how to stage a coup.
All of us need to come to grips with this. We need to act. We need to work to stop them. We need to organize at all levels. This certainly won’t be the last they have inspired. #Bolsonaro #Brazil

What we saw in Brazil is the continuing evolution of the new authoritarian movement. The similarities to January 6 were no coincidence.
The question becomes: what was the point? They stormed Brazil's capital complex on a Sunday when no one was there and no business was being conducted. There was clearly no endgame. Is it a statement that no matter where you are, there are enough useful idiots around that fascists can turn them into a weapon against the general public? Was it just to see if they could pull it off again after the fallout from J6? Steve Bannon could probably tell you.
No matter the real reason, it's a clear sign that democracy is more at risk now than at any point in most of our lives.
We have an opportunity here to deviate from Silicon Valley’s dogma of infinite growth and demonstrating a more sustainable and cooperative way of existing that limits the growth of individual instances in favour of nurturing a sustainable ecosystem.

You can get reading rulers, which partly consist of thin plastic, but the set has different colours, you put these over the text to make the text easier to read.
When you have 6 year olds shooting people, the only answer is gun control. A 6 year old is not a rational actor. You don't stop a 6 year old from shooting someone through increased punishment or more cops. You only stop it by preventing the gun from ever reaching that child's hands. https://www.cnn.com/2023/01/06/us/newport-news-virginia-shooting/index.html

Yeah, to me libre hardware is essential to the future of free software, once we have hardware that is fully open, there won't be issues runnning free software in theory at least.
I decided to make Fedfree official, with a link to it from libreboot.org:
https://libreboot.org/news/fedfree.html
Fedfree's goal goes far beyond self-hosting. One of my main agendas is to actually establish a manifesto of sorts, talking about not just libre software, but libre hardware aswell - the self-hosting tutorials tie into that because you can't have freedom unless you have the ability to share your ideas without restriction.
Fedfree's mission is to promote freedom of all kinds, related to technology.
Interested in Technology, Science, Chemistry, Education, Fediverse, GNU/Linux and free software.
