The purpose isn't to erase everything,

There's literally too many digital copies individuals have that they have no capacity to trace. People have been replicating these files for decades now, hosted on private servers. So I hold hope of an educated, understanding future, but we're about to have some of the worst years ever in America.

Some worry it'll take decades to repair, I think it's more of diminishing return. We'll rebuild fast (relatively speaking) but our fine details in infrastructure will undeniably take a new generation of work to get back on the global scale for real.

I keep holding on to a silver lining that this dark moment in history will be a necessary lesson for a generation that didn't think they could lose all progress and rights.

And in the UK, where I live

Yes, very true. It is a global movement many are saying. My condolences to you as well, I try to keep up with globals it's just such a constant cluster fuck here I'm in rural Appalachia and it's just literally falling apart lol

That said, the world around me is still beautiful. Take in every breath with grace Breathe out the turmoil felt by that which we cannot control And keep marching on
