The problem isn't the internet, the problem is Capitalism, that used internet to turn more suffering into money. The problem is, there was never that magical time when everything was great, it's a fallacious thinking. It also applies to the internet.
The only path to anything positive is progress, not trying to go back to imaginary times that never existed.

Someone clearly wasn't alive before the internet

Installing it from scratch manually? Maybe no, not for an inexperienced user who's goal isn't to learn Linux.
But I would argue Arch itself is great for a casual user to have. All the software in one place, installed with the same command, and you only install what you want, so no fiddling with bullshit you didn't ask for.

It's a snack, not a meal

There was a period before soylent people discovered fiber, when this was true, but now I think all the various manufacturers of this type of stuff adding it, and beyond the almost inevitable adjustment period, it actually stabilises. And we're talking days, not even weeks.

Especially given that even in the best case scenario the period of recovery will be 8 years maximum. No matter who will be the next president, the one after will be another angry conservative, and I don't believe there will be a lot of progress after.

If you're willing to learn at any pace, and can do at least some "skilled work" as they call it, then just about everywhere. Usually you have 5 to 10 years to learn the language if you want to stay permanently. You can get by with English in most of europe.
Usually, if there is not a lot of jobs you can do speaking English, it means that the region isn't exactly rich and/or accommodating anyway.

German universities are always hiring. Always. And in my experience they need just about everyone

I remember last time I checked, the bottles and the caps usually had different RICs, but I'm not an expert, so I can be mistaken

Not only that, but the plastic in the cap is actually made of plastic that is better recyclable than the rest of the bottle.

In a lot of places, yes. If that's your only way to get water, you will be getting it from a bottle. Water, you know, is important to day-to-day life.

Politicians are surprisingly cheap.

I don't see orher adult animals sitting in front of a screen and paying taxes either

I'm not making any claims, deliberately, because I don't know inner workings of Chinese surveillance system. I'm just relaying an anecdote.

In around 2019 two of my colleagues were visiting China for business thing, one had Xiaomi phone and wasn't asked to do anything, another had Samsung and his phone was searched.
It's an anecdote, so make of it as you will.

Flashlight on android is actually a flash for camera, if you want to get proper access to the camera you kind of need this one.

No, I think there is a perpetual war going on there, and US is getting involved in it with depressing frequency with depressingly negative results, and although I don't believe it will be inevitability, randomly bombing random countries surely is a good recipe for a bad outcome.

Tbat would be baaaad. So bad.
