Starship troopers has a line in it that the crusades were created by population pressure (primarily young men being denied a good chance at a future).

Thanks, I appreciate the tip. Lemmy's tech barrier is a bit of a stretch for me but most people here have been really helpful!

Since lemm.ee seems insistent on staying federated with Hexbear, can anyone recommend a working instance (.world keeps crashing on me) that's defederated them?

I'm not tech savvy enough to know how to check whose defederated them and personally I find that their low-effort high-spam trolling in every thread they see to be off putting enough that I've been going back to Reddit because it feels less toxic. I liked the culture at Lemmy before Hexbear showed up and if possible I'd like to get that back. Thanks in advance!

I thought Catch-22 was a satire
