FWIW, this free app solves for that issue well; I have several clammed Macs running it right now:
I love following weird shit on the web, so stumbled onto Qanon in late 2017 on 4chan, and have accounts on Telegram, GreatAwakening.win, Truth Social, and Rumble to keep up with the movement every day.
I mention all of the preceding by way of confirming that you are spot on. They constantly describe themselves as the true critical thinkers who are fighting the evil communist and/or fascist Left.
As irritating as they are, it’s kind of hard to blame them. Most of world beyond their fingers is opaque, and they don’t have the toolset to create clarity.
Our political system, beyond the level of town councils and school boards, is effectively unreachable and it’s subject to ownership by people and forces this pair will never see.
Our economy is so complex that two Chicago and MIT PhDs can argue for a lifetime about one of its tiniest details; to the pair of Trump fans in this piece, the economy entirely comprises the cost of their mortgage, the utilities, and gas. Most of the products and services they use are created by massive companies which delegate little power or ability to personalize at the level at which this pair interacts with them.
Our local newspapers are effectively denuded or gone, and local news stations tend to just package whatever Sinclair sends down the pipe. Remember “all politics is local”? That’s been flipped completely: there is almost nothing local; national considerations drive even school board elections.
Finally, that other estate, the church, is the one that taught them the magical thinking that they eagerly apply to things confusing and mysterious, lapping up simple proto-fascist narratives that eventually bake down to triple parentheses.
Putin has assumed the West will get bored and give up eventually. And Russia can just wait it out.
But, the West is getting to defang Russia for a generation, exfiltrate its best and brightest, and set itself up perfectly for out-competing Russia in the northern passages opening up due to climate change in the coming decades.
SR-71 wasn’t acknowledged for many years, then was decommissioned decades ago with no named replacement.
And, today, I can sit down with a soldering gun and $800 worth of consumer-grade hardware and in a few hours make a quad camera drone that will do 85+ mph, with a flight envelope that would boggle the mind of an F-16 pilot in 1995.
Of course, this alien horse shit is being spun up to distract from the multiple flight platforms we are running and/or testing, based on bleeding-edge human technologies.
No way old.reddit.com makes it to Q4.
That was very helpful, thanks!
Only problem I have left is getting NGINX Reverse Proxy Manager set up, so that I can offer Overseerr webpage. The Let’s Encrypt cert generator keeps throwing an internal error at the last step. Something is preventing LE from reaching my server, and I’m too clueless to solve at this point.
