Maybe because most of us lack the creativity to construct such a thematic nexus ;) i.e. 'wrong subreddit mate', in this case both list and subject/thread. I wish I was being pedantic, but discipline on digital hygiene simply is customary ethos today, especially if you rely on low-maintenance moderation. And this 'maybe' may be just me, but this medium cannot do any subject's gravity justice. But now it’s out on our eternal server, with mostly expectable perspectives, and we have to react.

So being assimilated into globalized capitalism's liberal democratic theatre is an ideal outcome for the conquered? What makes you think that would make them equals? Corrupting indigenous elites, creating a comprador bourgeoisie, is our easiest game plan.
