I'm too late to contribute anything on this, but I would just like to request that you post a follow up to this in the new Culture War thread for this week and let us know what choice you made and how it went.

Part of the ugliness comes from the fact that none of the people depicted are what would be considered conventionally attractive in the western world.

Furthermore, the targets of potential abuse are very different. The majority of people police officers deal with (especially in a physical confrontation) are criminals and not innocent bystanders. Teachers are dealing with children, which society places a large value on protecting.

That is good. This means that people can't hack election infrastructure without detection and we have nothing to worry about. Hopefully no one will make any claims to the contrary.

It seems like modern history has been something of an anomaly where we have had back to back revolutionary gains in productivity. Prior to the industrial revolution, there were long periods of marginal gains punctuated by smaller revolutions such as the printing press. Unless AI or some new energy source can come along and make us more productive I fully expect us to slide back into tribalism.

Plus, riots don't really happen in winter time especially in conditions like this: if it gets really really cold the general population will be too frozen to do anything.
One notable (and relevant) exception to this being Euromaidan, which took place between November and February.

I agree with you that the line is about in the right place. The pearl clutching about North Korea in that twitter thread is pretty unconvincing, unless they have been using crypto to keep their country afloat since 1948.

when did "life isn't fair" stop being a cliche truism?
Around the same time that they started handing out participation trophies, if I had to guess.
You can take any twitter url and replace twitter.com with twitter.com and get more or less the old experience without having to sign in. There are some companies that use twitter to post status message when there is an outage etc. and this has been helpful for me.
