Not if they don't want to stand out like a soar thumb. While it maybe true that if E2EE is outlawed only outlaws will use it that and national agencies, use of it will be criminalized.

TBH, it's kind of fighting yesterday's wars. To play devil's advocate I think they should be working to outlaw quantum resistant encryption instead.

This could be an exceptional way to ban all crypto assets.

Unlikely that this will happen but if we are playing a game of escalation perhaps he could deputise people with access to millenary equipment. Remember, the armed forces pledge allegiance to the constitution and nobody else. They also have the duty to not follow an illegal order.

I fear it's not enough. Not by half.

What can they do? They're wiped out, democratically at least until the mid terms. Considering the speed of events, the mid term is too late.

that issue dissapears if the country has a good amount of nuclear or hydroelectric in the mix.

It also disappears if we have copious energy storage.

Sorry to play the Godwin card so early but this is Trump's enabling act.

Looks like someone has been reading the Discworld stories. To think America is going to be modelling it's form of "democracy" in the style of Ankh-Morpork. Democracy of one man one vote, Trump is the man, he has the vote.

If we are talking non nuclear renewables, I understand that the UK is in an enviable position regarding wind, being one of, if not, the windiest nations in Europe. If I haven't misremembered maybe we should prioritise wind generation. Leave geothermal to places like Iceland, or maybe the nations around the Pacific Rim.

TBH, it's all indoctrination, or non of it is. The word "indoctrination" has taken on negative connotations (maybe it always was a fright word). However, I think, focussing on the word and it's connotations is, perhaps concentrating on the wrong thing. I think the spotlight should be shifted to the content of how we bring up the kids.

It's called indoctrination. This is ironic as Christian Nationalists are in the vanguard against Transvestite Story Hour and panic over all the gay/transexual/satanic grooming that's going on.
