Seriously, secede. The Trump administration is already playing the state game, disappearing people well outside of the resident's state jurisdiction. The Civil War wasn't about secession, it was about slavery, and if people don't realize that now that the roles are switched, slavery is soon going to make a come back - not just with people with the wrong skin color, but for people with the wrong political ideologies (and yes, slavery in the US was never outlawed, just reframed under the purview of private prisons).

Was the Civil War fought because of secession, or was it fought because of slavery? This questions isn't rhetorical, because Americans are answering right now, and the appeasement towards a Project 2025 Dark Enlightenment technate administration with an authoritarian lifetime president from all states isn't making the answer look too good.

States are letting this happen by letting hostile states who give fuck all about the constitution, just like the president, free reign in their state. The first thing that people need to realize is that the US no longer exists, not without its constitution. So why are states so willing to let these foreign agents from foreign states still dreaming of the slave owner era in?

There's always that comeback from the group of investors who think "NOW it has reached the lowest point, buy buy buy!"

The stock market is generally horrible, it is largely dictated purely by investors and the stocks themselves have no relation to value lest you specifically go looking for stocks that return dividends or provide voting share. If you invest looking at how a company is going to perform, you are going to lose, you need to look at how investors are going to invest. Investing has always largely been about "meme stocks", it's just that the name stuck when astroturfing stock investment hit social networks en masse.

The answer depends on the responsibilities you have.

They are already an oligarchy, they are paving the way for an authoritarian dictatorship now.

To be fair, evangelicals themselves have been a means to that end. They are the bastardization of religious values to get their personality cults to give their rich assholes what they want while having to pay only the barest lip service to ethics and morality. Most established religions have to suffer at least a schism or two when they get that bad.

It's not, it's not having to do the math or the remembering. The brain is a muscle, when you have your phone doing all the hard work it doesn't need to be as buff. LLMs will worsen this problem even more. Microplastics? Maybe single digit consequences.

Expect reddit comments to get removed without notice, users to sporadically get banned here and there, while that uptick continues. Reddit has been pretty good at this for years, in the sense of controlling the narrative without raising any obvious flags. The only thing that's surprising is that they are no longer treating Reddit as damage control, but just another social network to control. I guess when the authoritarianism is as overt as it currently is, there's no longer any reason to hide the manipulation as it becomes a liability to allow the already controlled narratives to persist.

Putin is the biggest oligarch in Russia.

You are right, but as citizens in nations, we can only demand solutions at the national level. Right now in that regard the problems are with the oligarchs in Russia and the oligarchs in the US, and they have control each of their respective countries. We are very well aware that there are rich assholes willing to play to Putin's tune in many of our countries and that they are financing opposition parties considerably.
