I largely think these won't be remembered, and scholars will study them as part of a broader continuity of militant far right movements spanning the course of over a century.https://twitter.com/JoyAnnReid/status/1438326026027814912 …

Oh, I think sources will be scarce, but for material reasons--cheap paper, fragile electronics, etc.

So, on the one hand I see this. On the other hand, the storage capacity means that a relatively small number of surviving physical volumes could easily contain a TON of information. Could easily take all of wikipedia, stick it on a solid-state drive and drop that in orbit.

And while the paper is easily lost, the cheapness of printing it means you really only need one part of the globe to survive the whatever catastrophe intact to have a lot of sources. The best research library even in many mid-income or fairly poor countries would have...
