The way I see it, if you go for keyboard-only approach you aim for efficiency. And then you build a site, that doesn't work without javascript at all. Which is a contradiction if you ask me.</p>

<p>> toxic "so smart I can't communicate" superstars<p>This is your framing, which is openly hostile to people, that you chose as your enemies. And that framing itself is a great demonstration of toxicity.<p>The whole narrative is just an attack on engineers, who do the job, coming from the side of the so-called "communicators".</p>

<p>Fascinating.<p>I use NoScript, not 'javascript.enabled' setting.<p>I checked more closely and here is what appears to be missing:<p><pre><code>  Cross-Origin Request Blocked: The Same Origin Policy disallows reading the remote resource at https://static.ietf.org/dt/12.65.2/ietf/bootstrap-icons.5b9cac4e.woff. (Reason: CORS request did not succeed). Status code: (null).
</code></pre>
Bootstrap icons.<p><pre><code>  Block javascript - icons won't load.
  Allow javascript - icons load.
  Block javascript again - icons load, unless tab is closed and then opened again.
</code></pre>
This behavior has been observed previously.<p>I tried to selectively block css to see how it's tied to javascript.<p><pre><code>  Block javascript, block css from static.ietf.org - icons won't load, page layout is broken.
  Allow javascript, block css from static.ietf.org - the icons won't load, layout is fine.
</code></pre>
Evidently, with javascript blocked, layout css loads fine, but bootstrap icons only able to load when javascript is not blocked.<p>'javascript.enabled' setting seem to has no effect on icons. However, unlike NoScript, it does not provide any domain separation/granularity.</p>

<p>> Sergei Korolev, the literal architect of the Soviet space program, was sent to the Gulag, where he lost his teeth to scurvy and survived a broken jaw<p>That's just a scary tale, that was created long after he died.<p>> Trofim Lysenko’s fraudulent agricultural theories were deemed "more communist."<p>Not exactly. His "fraudulent" theories delivered real value, and saved millions of people from starving. But he didn't belong to fancy scientific establishment (which traveled to conferences abroad while studying things with no impact to the people). He was a regular man, with experience working on land and with an aim for a practical results. He was not from "the club". So said establishment hated him and seized the first opportunity to attack him. Said establishment in all forms and shapes still hates him and other talented outsiders.<p>Discussion between Trofim Lysenko and his challengers actually public - you can read it yourself, not distorted conclusion-ready version presented by his haters.<p>I'm not saying you are wrong on all counts, but at least with those two examples you seem to just follow the usual narrative.</p>

<p>> overly-centralized nature of national resource and economic strategy and planning.<p>This is a common misconception. Supported by the Soviet Union government in the 80s.<p>The fact is, that the efforts to sabotage and disband central planning started as early as 1954.<p>In 1954 an executive order of 14 Oct 1954 reduced the amount of administrative personnel by 450 thousands.<p>The amount of metrics went down from 9 940 to 6 308 in 1954, to 3 081 in 1955, and to 1 780 in 1958.<p>Khrushchev moved most of the planning power from central planning institution to the regions and down to the factories and enterprises. What previously was strict targets from the center now became soft suggestions.<p>Imagine you are a CTO and your workforce is heavily reduces and the goals you set are considered to be a mere suggestions. Not a very efficient instrument indeed. But not because it is overly-centralized.</p>

Well, that's easy to deal with - don't go the restaurants that openly disrespect you.<p>Out of all the examples you have presented everything had worked somehow without phones not so long ago.<p>Maybe, with the exception of online public transit status streaming.
