Ten twenty years ago it was there was this notion of "Advanced Persistent Threats" out to disrupt civilization. It feels like the current civil threat is persistent authoritarians, persistent terrormongers. I fret so much how it seems like backsliding is the only direction, that their persistent pull towards fear can keep being resisted, until eventually in the wrong time & the wrong place society falls a little further back again. Again and again and again. What pests this world must constantly redeem ourselves from.
