It will wither away with:

1. Improving material conditions of people who won’t need it as a coping mechanism anymore.
2. There are alternative cultural hubs in rural areas.
3. Alternative, secular forms of socially accepted fantasizing get popular.

I’m quite invested in the last point myself, actually. There are communities of adults having imaginary friends who are just imaginary friends.

Trump’s presidency is a materialization of Yankee elites panicking. USA is going to lose a hegemony it achieved after USSR collapsed and Trump is making desperate moves trying to stop it. And the ruling class (the billionaires) support it in general.

I’m strongly against death penalty when it comes to crimes of individual against individual.

I am for death penalty when it comes to crimes of influential individual against masses though.

A murderer or rapist who ruined one life doesn’t deserve death penalty. A corrupt politician who ruined countless lives cooperating with the billionaires does.

If states isolated their network infrastructure from other states, the essence of international network would be lost.

Each country would have their own intranet, like Kwangmyong in the DPRK.
