Historically yes, but that doesn't make it a requirement for the future, there's really no need for the greed and violence but here we are.

Aren't most of the big time destructive weapons down south (I'm Canadian) kept pretty much under federal lock and key to prevent that sort of thing?

I understand a great many people own small arms but do you think revolution down there would actually get to being much bigger than that destructive?

Redistribution of wealth is looooong overdue, the banks and wealthy have chosen class war over civil reconstruction and shit's going to get a lot uglier before it gets better because of it.

It's not always minor! It might be an outlier effect with the conditional of being trans though.

I often recall memories and in them I am me, a girl, as is normal in my everyday life, and then go: 'wait a sec, this memory was from before transitioning.'

I kinda system crash for a moment or two after that usually.

As an absolute biology nut I would be pleased as punch to be pioneering a new planet, the sheer volume of new things to learn and study that humanity hasn't seen before would make me ecstatic to be there (assuming a modicum of comfortable living)
