10 Critical Bottlenecks in Modern Civilization Posing a Major Risk
We like to think modern civilization is robust, backed by endless redundancy.

Confession:
I’ve never found microblogging like twtxt or the Fediverse or any other “modern” social media to be truly fulfilling/satisfying.
The reason is that it is focused so much on people. You follow this or that person, everybody spends time making a nice profile page, the posts are all very “ego-centric”. Seriously, it feels like everybody is on an ego-trip all the time (this is much worse on the Fediverse, not so much here on twtxt).
I miss the days of topic-based forums/groups. A Linux forum here, a forum about programming there, another one about a certain game. Stuff like that. That was really great – and it didn’t even suffer from the need to federate.
Sadly, most of these forums are dead now. Especially the nerds spend a lot of time on the Fediverse now and have abandoned forums almost completely.
On Mastodon, you can follow hashtags, which somewhat emulates a topic-based experience. But it’s not that great and the protocol isn’t meant to be used that way (just read the snac2 docs on this issue). And the concept of “likes” has eliminated lots of the actual user interaction. ☹️

White House looking for other countries to accept deportees
Gregory Svirnovskiy, Staff Writer - Politico
Stephan: Just as Hitler did, Trump is looking for other countries where he can establish concentration camps, paying for them with citizen tax dollars. Hitler’s principal target population was Jews, whereas Trump’s is immigrants. But both actually imprisoned anyone who opposed them.

_Stephan: If you go back and read the history of Hitler you will very quickly learn that creating youth groups to indoctrinate boys and girls into Nazism. As the Holocaust Encyclopedia describes it, “The Hitler Youth (Hitlerjugend, or HJ) was the Nazi-organized youth movement. It was made up of different sections for b … ⌘ Read more
