Fixed, and thank you. Not entirely sure how that happened as I posted the same link again and it works now.

And hypothetically what would those streaming services be, that we might avoid accidentally involving ourselves with something beyond ToS or the commandments of the crown?

It's not a recent thing but there was a pretty serious resurgence of it around waitforit the turn of the millennia back in 1999/2000, with a followup in 2012 when we all thought the Mayan calendar was going to run out for some reason. My observation is that these events had a deeper impact on world thinking than I realized at the time.

As someone who's been recycling since the early 1980s, the whole thing is heartbreaking.

It's really difficult on both an intellectual and an emotional level to absorb the fact that most of the information given to me about recycling has been false for the sum total of my 45 years on this planet.

As with our dentention centers on the US/Mexico border, we'll only see select portions of this after they've "addressed the issues" innate to putting people in holding facilities.

I have long held a theory that so much of the superficial orthopraxy demanded by various activist movements is intentional and designed to disrupt or retard actual action.

How can we best get involved and support the cause?

With over a century of vocabulary and terminology around these kind of social issues, it does get confusing in a hurry. That's why I try to stick to plain language and popular terms whenever possible.

Exactly. Everyone's on the list, eventually.

Also called Millenarianism, it refers to the belief that a major change/end of an age/apocalypse is inbound.

A lot of folks felt this way when the year 1999 rolled around and the "new millennium" began. For some it only got worse after September 11th 2001.
