Most of the crazy stuff is happening in NSW and Victoria. Everything is pretty calm here in the western states- then again we're an agrarian based society and it's all very rural/remote.
I encourage everyone here to migrate to the Fediverse (Pleroma)- it's VPN friendly and you can purge all data permanently. It's all completely decentralised, so there's heaps of instances already and you can make your own instance if you wanted. If you want to know what instance to join, just DM me (was gonna post the instances here but i dont want any random authies coming in).
Reddit is in no way safe, all of your data will be stored and sold to Google, govt agencies and other third parties- as stated in their privacy policy.Other good FOSS and encrypted platforms are Element.io and tox.chat- which is also a good Discord alternative.

I care about the institution of the separation of church and state enshrined under the Constitution and want to conserve it.
I disagree that militarism, nationalism, and imperialism in the US all come from the right; it all got started with progressive christians and the "social gospel" back in WW1, I would say they were definitely on the left.
