I just want to be the first to make this connection to "Digger" 2026 starring Tom Cruise and no I'm not joking I'm just really deep in this rabbit hole

  The term "Diggers" historically refers to "The True Levellers" - 17th-century radical Christian agrarian group that fought against the English establishment and believed the earth was a "common treasury" for all. See also; edited liquor bottle image referencing the Eagles' "Hotel California" ("We haven't had that spirit here since 1969"). Pop culture reference

    Their peer group the "Ranters" can perhaps be tied into another Tom Cruise film, the one directed by that A Clockwork Orange director. That's assuming we agree on the Winstanley take on Ranter principles as amounting to the excessive enjoyment of "meat, drinke, pleasures, and women".
