such an high octave to hear MAUNCH FOOD GOOD THANK YOU in my head

I’m not that sure that history will give a shit about US American Democrats or US American Republicans.

Those labels will be lost. “US American” concentration camps, disappearing citizens, ignoring court orders, death squads … there will be no “oh that was just the Republicans”; it will be “oh that was just the Americans”.

If you don’t want/can’t move start with a space that is your space. Define some boundaries to the hoard.

Then in that space organize your clutter into things you use and things you would use.

Then use your shelves, closet, and drawers to put away all the stuff that you use.

Then in the clutter pile organize that again into “things i can’t get again” and “stuff that is easily available”

Then the hard part: throw out the “stuff that is easily available”

Repeat the process until it is space and light that fills your room.

You can’t have organizational boundaries as such so you are not willing to let some stuff go. It is hard.

And often times clutter is because of lack of shelving. Buy some shelves. And limit your possessions to your space storage. And don’t get a storage space. Just throw it out. Give it to Goodwill. Sell it on EtsyBay.

But start with your space.

Could one not conceive of a world where there is a group of actual human beings that hold different values to one’s own ?

Seems like a weird place to start. But here we are.

that crash and burn will be the onus of the consumer not being able to consume.

we will lose access to free range computing and have to live with asking AI for permission to use the computing power and network resources to play a game or pay our bills online. And paytoll for that permission.

that will be the crash and burn victims here.

This is exactly why there are non-profit bail funds to donate to in many communities. These funds frequently help cover these people that are the vanguard of democracy.

rabbits in skinner boxes pressing two buttons for a treat is not a far cry from tech workers sitting in cublices pressing 104 buttons for paycheck nor internet users doing it for imaginary internet points.
