"[A]rchaeologist Gary Feinman of the Field Museum in Chicago […] own research shows that autocratic governments are not inevitable when populations grow larger — a variety of societies around the globe throughout history have done things differently."

It is hard to find a pic which sums up Brexity right wing sabotage of #Britain better than this.
Pointless vandalism of something benefiting the entire community and planet ... plus an attached sign begging for the plant to be given any clean, saved household water during morning or evening.
It still amazes me how so many #Brits avoid the real issue of how successive capitalistic, privilege-favouring #Governments exploit them ... by letting themselves be redirected (by those in on the exploitation) to resent anyone different.
It is a stain of stupidity on the British psyche milked and perpetuated by #Farage, #Badenoch, #Johnson, #Gove, #ReesMogg and all similar self-serving enablers, cronies, and unseen donors.
The formula:
Excessive privilege + establishment play 'outsider' and activate dark triad traits in the population ... to extract more from the wider population (while saying 'these are hard times'), joining any corrupt country-sabotaging scheme going, and ensuring psychopathic pro-fossil fuel narrative, corporate-fronted evasion of fair taxation, and genuine improvement of social and health services is avoided, unless for the gain of their dirty deals and donors. All with a thinly spread veneer of 'token' superficial improvements to *seem* non-sabotaging.Hate-eroded far right 'brains' run to it every time. Lemmings off a cliff, betraying their country while waving the flags obsessively. Moronic.

The year is 2027. Email is #unreliable; little gets past #Gmail filters without a contract to receive your #email. #Governments don't stop it because (a) they have a contract, and (b) they don't understand how email works. Or worked.
#Tech companies finally realize that #SS7 is #insecure. Phone calls and texts can't be #trusted. Machine-learning-generated ("AI") audio and video means video and voice calls are doubly cursed - too many #FAANG executives have had embarrassing public #failures, falling #victim to the corporate equivalent of the grandparent #scam.
Few people use #TOTP, because the tech #companies don't promote it, they each call it something else and make it work differently, and they all want you to use their "app" rather than the standard 3-line script that can generate the correct code given a key and the current timestamp. The technically-minded try to educate their relatives and friends as part of the free-tech-support assumption, but no one cares.
#Account #recovery now involves waiting at home to sign for an envelope delivered by the lowest-cost (and therefore bribe-able) courier to the #registered home address of the account. Millions each year lose their email, #photos, videos, "purchased" digital #content, password vaults, etc because they've moved since they set up the account, or they have a P.O. box and companies don't believe those #exist.
The #internet is a vast digital #wasteland - wait, a saviour onstage: "Walled Garden-Net!".
Burn it.
