The US also has reams of data on every American. The difference is America is using to control, capture, and kill people.

Waterparks - Ice
Badflower - Machine Gun
Seb Lowe - Don’t say no to Hitler
Moon Walker - You’re next
Grandson - Little White Lies
Grandson - Brainrot
Against me! - Baby, I’m an anarchist!
Harris J - Hourriya
Flanger Moose - Fascists don’t have friends
The discographies of Grandson, Moon Walker, and Dropkick Murphys have a lot of good, recent, messages. Pussy Riot has a couple of generic and America themed songs as well. Otep has several, though they are more fueled by reaction than actual artistic talent.
I wouldn’t rule out older titles from the Vietnam or Coal Wars/Battle of Blaire Mountain Era.

There’s technically complicit in driving your car to work because the nearest house you can afford is so far away from your work and public infrastructure is lacking to the degree that if you want to eat you must have a car and there’s technically complicit in owning and using a private jet for pleasure or commanding a massive military power and starting senseless wars just 'cause.
To be clear I agree with you, but the orders of magnitude of offense and the means to address are so lopsided that the only blame I can place upon the proles is not assuming a government structure that grants them power.
Hell, even with recycling we continue to be gaslit to no end. The corporations that make the poisons in our blood and brains continue to make those poisons because they managed to trick those in power into thinking a little triangle printed on them will save the planet. The idea of a “carbon footprint” was produced by BP to absolve them of blame of the climate crisis.
Individuals can (and should) bike more, eat less meat, use fewer packaged goods, source locally, etc., but when the rich wage war 333,333 times as much pollution is released in 2 weeks than what an average US resident releases in one year.

I mean, ideally society. Those who brought it upon the world should be held accountable, but we should have a society where the collective needs are addressed by the collective ability. Taking care of one another doesn’t mean every infraction is forgiven, and part of dealing with massive societal challenges is getting to a point where everyone is involved and benefiting without the few permitted to persist abuses.

Space exploration is relatively cheap compared to our murder machines, and unlike the murder machines has practical benefits for a wide swath of people.
There’s new innovations that come around in order to get into space, new innovations from discoveries made in space, and new innovations made because we’ve gone to space.
Some of these innovations even help address problems on our own planet. GPS helps keep planes from hitting each other (which was the catalyst for making high resolution GPS publicly available in the first place), satellite imagery aids in weather prediction and disaster response, even global communication is in part because of space travel.
I care less about finding backup worlds, but even that search gives us information about the needs of life and can hint at how life came to be–answers which may be helpful in some types of medical work.
Tardigrade can survive for a shockingly long time exposed to the harsh environments of space. We wouldn’t have known that if we hadn’t gone ourselves, and understanding why they can survive so long can help us look for ways to prolong resilience in other complex life forms and environments.
The knowledge gained about keeping people safe in space will be critical to keeping people safe in other extreme environments like through the ongoing climate catastrophe.
So for the sake of progress, yes, it’s necessary. It’s another frontier for humanity to explore, and the more we explore the more we find out about ourselves and how to help people.

The rotation is partly actively maintained by muscular action from the cat. This is a chemical process that requires fuel and releases heat. This also eventually tires the cat.
Given the relatively low mass involved this really doesn't have much potential for large scale generation. An Ox mill would be more practical in most cases.

I've not used one of these, but they look promising:

I can’t wait for hardware companies to let go of their designers prematurely in the pursuit of AI everything only for there to be a bug in a major board and no one available to troubleshoot thereby stranding customers with a broken board, no revision on the horizon, and no recourse.

And that’s how you get the Zootopia abortion fan-comic.
