IF he sticks on that, THEN … the course of the Middle East just changed, bigtime: from their perspective, this’s extortion.

While true, as an old Vim user, I’m recommending finding some other modal-editor: too much cruft in Vim.

I hear Helix is modal.

( modal-editors help bash one against one’s unconscious-mind’s woodenness: forcing switching-of-levels, & if you read “The Design of Everyday Things”, which Adam Savage also recommends people read, as he found it life-changing, then you’ll read that NOT-switching-levels is a racial mental-defect: we just enforce-harder, instead of switching-levels, & break opportunity we’re in!

So, modal-editing helps break that ignorance, giving us better ability to get out from the wrong-level into the right-for-the-context level, & therefore I absolutely recommend modal editors, for nearly-all.

However, vi & vim … a bit too much cruft, in the crystallization.

Clean-slate optimization of what commands are in, what key-codes are for what, etc, ought produce a better tool. )

the ruling meta-regime is in the process of enforcing the non-ruling-classes into an inescapable en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panopticon & enforcing learned-helplessness on all they can.

Feudalism, unbreakable.

ONLY right-technology, right-law, right-regulation, etc, CAN make human-lives be worth-living in a world where technology distorts so potently as ours now does.

Unless you/someone finds the one who can coerce a meaningful portion of our world to do the right-action/right-speech/right-law/right-technology thing, all the way through,* then … feudalism’s our epitaph.

Social-pressure’s incapable of coercing such regimes, so is “political-will”/whim.

East-Germany, but “perfect”, is our fate, unless someone breaks the undertow/trend, soon.

Trump has openly-admitted that the Republicans are finished in/by June: therefore his conversion-to-total-dictatorship has a hard/external deadline.

Between now & that tippingpoint, only more compounding-frustrations, for us, for Trump, for everybody, until finally either Trump invokes The Insurrection Act, XOR declares martial-law, if somebody creates “justification” for that.

In the Middle-East, I expect Netanyahu to keep ramping-up on his zionist rabies, & if Trump suddenly ditches that war, then I expect Netanyahu to nuke Iran, then the MINUTE regional-retaliation lauches, for Netanyahu to nuke ALL Muslim countries, simultaneously.

Which will GUARANTEE that EVERYone in the region will launch EVERYthing against Netanyahu’s “Israel”, no matter what the cost.

So, it’s entirely possible that Netanyahu’s “Israel” will be annihilated that way, in the next weeks/months.

Once Trump’s got his dictatorship, though, why would he care about the rest of the world?

Enforcing HIS mass-shooting on the Americas, PROVING that NOTHING is “great” after him, will be his fundamental concern.

Civil War Part2, annexing Canada & using Greenland to enforce that annexation ( Alaska, mainland, & Greenland, + navy + airforce, means he can seal-off Canada COMPLETELY from ALL international-trade, & gain continental-kingdom quicker ), & his imperial-expansion southward, throughout the Americas will be his concern.

The law he’s been holding-back, not exercising, to protect its existence … will de-naturalize ALL non-Republicans, & it’ll be criminalized for any “legal” to do ANY trade with any “illegal”, so … the “illegals” will have a simple choice:

be drafted/enslaved, XOR go into the “detention” centers network of ICE ( they will be building incinerators, starting as soon as the tippingpoint is crossed ).

So, the Americas are going to be hellscape, shortly.

Why bother telling people that this is going to be, when nobody belives that the escalation is going to continue until it crosses a phase-change/tippingpoint?

Because the borders will close, & if you want to live, & happen to be an inhabitant of the US of A, reader, you’d better get across that border BEFORE it becomes impossible.

I want good-people surviving this.

When someone gets off the tracks BEFORE the unseen-now train suddenly-appears & sweeps through at high speed, one survives.

Not telling people the truth … “helps” them be splatted throughout the sky, by comforting ignorance.

The escalation will continue accelerating ( both Trump & ClimatePunctuation: this is our-world’s megachickens, coming home to roost ), until near the end of this century.

I haven’t bothered sketching-out, here, the European war ( China-backed Putin vs Europe, abandoned by the Americas ), the Asian war ( West-abandoned Asia’s China’s cannon-fodder, & Modi’s “Russia will stand with us against China” “strategy” isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on ), or the Middle-East & Africa consolidation ( Saudi Arabia should be the only ruler of that region, by the 7-years end-of-this-next-cycle )

It doesn’t matter, though, does it?

Nobody’ll believe that this has ANY accuracy until it’s too-late.

Know, in advance, that once the economy disappears ( just after the tippingpoint ) that the Regional Consolidation Time does last 7y.

Then, suddenly, everything becomes SERIOUS, as the regions deathmatch for total-planetary-dominion, or something like that…

It’ll just keep going & going & going, decade on decade on decade, until it’s done, or the food-chains die.

“The Tribulation”, “Armageddon”, “The Great Purification” ( as the American Indians have been calling it for almost 1 millenium ), it’s the tantrum/pogrom that humankind’s collective-unconscious mind has been working-itself-into for centuries, & finally ignorance-ego’s got the technology to ENFORCE its tantrum/pogrom, in its myth’s “apocalypse”.

If you’ve ever seen an addict, on the streets, fighting for months to save their life, & their own unconscious-mind’s addiction-to-obliteration murdered their only life…

then you’ve seen exactly what humankind’s doing, this next 6-decades, at individual-human scale.

No “religion” needed.

No “supernatural power” needed.

Human unconscious-ignorance’s ego-addiction & myth & apocalypse-“proof” that there is NO “power” greater than ego-ignorance’s tantrum/pogrom, therefore ego-ignorance is “god” … that’s all that’s needed.

The Great Filter.

Welcome to the pending opening of the “gate”, as my-tradition calls it, but the Abrahamic-religions call it the 1st “Seal”…

I think it’ll happen in the March/April period, Trump indirectly-admitted that phase-change MUST happen before the end of June, & I don’t see any way of preventing the economic-bubble from popping any longer than that.

So, IF this ( above ) is true, THEN what?

Put in-place as much “underground railroad” & prepper-autonomy as everybody can, before it becomes impossible.

Seatbelts ONLY work when one has one locked-on before the crash, right?

Secure one’s means, get autonomous, get ready, get fit, put one’s “house” in order, all one can.

I believe that the 1st execution Trump will do in his PURGE will be Sanders, simply because Sanders is the truest hero in the top of the US’s federal gov’t, & that must hurt Trump more than he’s been letting on…

but total-extermination of his foes will be on the table.

Why wouldn’t he, if he finally can?

Welcome to hell, iow, soon.

Trump’ll be doing to the Americas what Russia has been doing to Ukraina,

the EU’ll be discovering they had only until now, not until now+10y … & getting butchered for that mis-framing, Taiwan’s going to be Tibet’d, then … the rest of Asia, too…

7y for the cycle.

Then the Republican regime will implode.

( destroyer-rage has short-term advantage, but if the opponent can remain unbreaking, enduring, then destroyer-rage itself breaks/fails.

Different durations in different lives/cultures, but that’s a consistent “force” of history.

Prejudice’s rage is destroyer-rage.

Ideological-rage is destroyer-rage.

All one has to do to win against it is remain unbreaking long-enough, & it’ll break.

White-supremacism, zionism, nazism, islamism, christofascism, the equivalents in Asia, etc: it’s just the way it works )

Anyone who believes Microslop corp …

ROTFLMAO

& their machiavellianism means that probably they’ll make security-updates contingent on adding-in their new evil-malwares into one’s system.

( They burned me in DOS 6.20, when their corrupt illegal-copy of Stac Electronics drive-compression was sabotaging me, & I got the no-compression-enabled DOS 6.21, then they came-out with a compression-enabled-and-fixed DOS 6.22, which I wasn’t eligible for, of course…

It’s depressing just how much of the internet is scrubbed of evidence, stories on the evil of big-money establishments/incumbents…

so, instead of having books ( someone did have a book on Microslop-corp’s machiavellian evil actions-history, it’s gone, now: can’t even find what it was called, & it was a physical book ) & trustworthy-Journalism cataloging the history we NEED to keep in mind, for accurate-framing … all that is disappeared & we all live in the consent-manufacturing-process that the economy “needs” us to be processed in.

Never trust them.

For any reason.

Ever.

They WILL betray you.

Read “A New Brand World” ( the word-order is correct ), & read about a marketing-firm who had Microslop-corp as their highest-paying contract, by far, & … it was killing them: they had NO soul.

The CEO of the marketing-firm sent around an email, 1 day, which said ONLY:

“Ding dong, the wicked witch is dead.”

& EVERYbody knew that that meant the CEO had saved their company’s life by killing that contract, because the “culture” of Microsoft was extinguishing their viability.

That is evidence.

Steve Balmer was evidence, too.

All the companies whose work they stole, & litigated against the companies, while selling/bundling the same product, all those are evidence, too.

Ask Linus Torvalds about Microsoft, someday, if you want an opinion on them… I’m certain he’d agree, as he’s seen the same kinds of things, & more, for decades…

They will never be trustworthy, if their history predicts their future.

There was the time they gave people cloud-drive storage…

…but their ToS-agreement gave Microsoft copyright on all that we stored up there…

You truly can’t make up the consistency of machiavellianness that Microsoft has carved in Eternity’s eyes…

You have hit-upon exactly the perfect proof of why Justice has to be left to karma, & harm-reduction has to be what humankind’s doing.

Murdercide is what New Scientist called the suicide-bombers, as murder is the point, & that needed to be in the term

Harm-reduction, correction, & preventing-future-harm are the 3 that humankind can do, but Justice is something that only karma ( “what a soul sows, that soul has no-alternative but to reap” ) can enforce, at ITS timescale ( many-many-lives, not mere-years ).

The details of different cases would have to be the basis of sorting-out how harm-reduction & correction ought be done, & eventually the principles required would become clear, & could be codified, but the underlying-fact is that Justice requires that ALL the guilty be corrected, & the rude fact that some remove themselves, so as to exempt themselves from accountability, means that at our timescale, Justice is only an aspiration/anchor/direction, not something that we can guarantee.

Getting out from evil’s way, in any official-position, HELPS evil.

As Effective Altruism pointed-out, it might have been philosopher Peter Singer, remaining in-evil’s-way is the way you slow it down.

The left doesn’t accept this, & instead facilitates totalitarian authoritarianism with its getting-out-of-the-way “protests”.

No matter: that just means the new-establishment will be exterminating the left sooner & more-efficiently, right?

Karma, but within individual-human-life.

Wrong time-scale “lens”.

Anyone who thinks that the next 6-decades ( “tribulation” aka “armageddon” aka “The Great Filter” ) are going to be soft, is delusional.

Ever noticed that toddlers need a different kind of parenting than-do teenagers??

The people of past-times were MUCH less critical-reasoning trained than we, of today, are, with programming & science.

The kind of management-of-them that was appropriate was fundamentally different from what is required for current humankind’s “bootcamp”, which the next 6-decades are going to be.

It’ll be experience-induced-understanding that the LAW is, if any of humanity survive The Great Filter.

Instinct, not rote-learning or commandments-posted-before-all.

Instinct-that-cannot-be-argued.

It’ll be humankind embodying law, not reading-about it.

Think about the difference between a soft armchair-“soldier” vs one who’s lived real war, for real years.

THAT is the kind of difference between humankind’s past condition & what’s required by context of humankind for the next 6-decades, & then you’ll understand that the fundamental-nature of “religion” changes from book-orientation to LivingSpirit-orientation when LivingSpirit-orientation’s the only way of surviving when outnumbered 9:1 ( or whatever it is ) as the civilrights-loyal/LivingSpirit-loyal ones are, against the ideologues/supremacists/fanatics.

No more “i hold my holy-book, which holds/possesses God”, but instead “I’m living IN my God”, if you understand the difference-in-meaning that those 2 kinds are being…
