The Internet Archive plans to create a backup of its data in Canada in response to the election of Donald Trump as President of the United States:
The Internet Archive, a nonprofit that saves copies of old web pages, is creating a backup of its database in Canada, in response to the election of Donald Trump. "On November 9th in America, we woke up to a new administration promising radical change," the organization wrote in a blogpost explaining the move. "It was a firm reminder that institutions like ours, built for the long-term, need to design for change."
[...] The move will cost millions, according to the Internet Archive, which is soliciting donations. In their post, the Internet Archive justified its decision to backup its data in Canada, claiming that Trump could threaten an open internet. "For us, it means keeping our cultural materials safe, private and perpetually accessible. It means preparing for a Web that may face greater restrictions."

But the left has absolutely no reason to endure any mansplaining given the previous successes weren't from logical appeals but indoctrination. You'd need some type of framework in order to make re-evaluations instead of gaping hole.
Being left-leaning moderate myself (or in the parlance of the left, a crypto Klan supporter) I get either to look over either inept nihilist or pink shirts to make an appeal.
And honestly it's looking like the nihilist as the left is just too far gone to even be worth expending the energy. The absolute best outcome is minimizing how much damage they can inflict as they cannibalize each other.

You should have posted non-AC, I would have befriended you. The lack of framework is very much a reality. Instead, left has embraced propaganda and censorship. I said this here a long time ago, but left is the new conservative. In gutting the actual dissenters of establishment, it has allowed right to rise again.
