Pretty much the title sums it up. There’s a lot to be concerned about, and one thing I find personally disconcerting is how US educational systems might be impacted.

Do we need to make backups of, like, everything educational and scientific? And where are all the places and forms that we can host these materials?

      True. But most of the platforms used by people around the world to communicate (social media, instant messaging, etc) are owned by US companies. So our shitbag of an upcoming President could have a global impact in this regard.

      That being said, I don’t find myself particularly worried about this specific thing. Hopefully I don’t eat my words.

      Sure, yup. But also, imagine if Germany in 1933 was an active worldwide superpower with 128 military bases in 55 foreign countries, with an annual military budget higher than the national GDPs of 167 of the 188 countries in the world.
