  I doubt it's the "culture." It's just that they used to specialize in making things for the lowest cost possible. That's changing bit by bit. DJI is best in class for example; no other consumer product comes close. They are also leading in many scientific fields.

  Honestly, I'd take my fate into my own hands, and hope I could take a couple out before they took me out. Assuming I could get to a gun before they had me in their sights. Oragnaized and committed community defense could stop it from getting to that point, but the people participating also have to be prepared to die for their community.

  Inter-planting instead of nice tidy rows seems to help a bit. At least where I live, caterpillars *will* start devouring tomato plants. When I start noticing eaten leaves, I just find the (usually huge) caterpillar and throw it far away for the birds or whatever.

  I've been noticing a lot of counter-surveillance projects lately too. I.e. Flock-You, Chasing-You-Tail-NG, drone trackers. Most using ESP dev boards or rPis. The cardputer looks pretty cool too. Dunno if that stuff fits or not.
