My very compact SparkEV is a retrofit, so the same body as the ICE version: the battery is tiny at 19kwh but it's still like having an extra passenger and then some. You can feel the weight and stiffened suspension when driving.
I used to own a W124 series Benz (bought used for 5% of sticker price, I ain't no fauntelroy). Nearly everything on it was redundant or excessively skookum.
When systems that weren't as rugged started going down, like the vacuum controllers for doors or the 4matic computer etc, the car still worked safely with reduced convenience. A few minor design flaws like the wiring harness but that's it. Room to work under the hood, too.
It was built in '93 when the engineers still ran the company.
Current main driver is the super reliable '03 CRV.
One of our cars is a 2016 GM and I just unscrewed the cell antenna instead of ripping out the cell module. Tracking disabled, or at least unreliable. The subscription nav is useless and easy to ignore. I would like to figure out how to prevent the siriusxm ads built into the infotainment system, still.
I look forward to better infotainment hacks down the road.
Propaganda conflates industrialization with capitalism continually, obscuring the possibility of any other economic system.

It's not just medieval. Sargon of Akkad started instituting that shit millennia ago. It is embedded in the region and has infected a good chunk of the world. Islam is just one vector; ancient greeks passed the same patriarchal idea of women's behaviour determining male honour into christianity too.
Oh, Indonesians have some, ahem, concerning stories for you.
Standard expropriation of the commons. Good thing the address is public knowledge.
Your typical walk in. I got it.
But your back yard is infinite.
Boats are the original tiny home.
In Ministry for the Future, the opposition to this garbage is successful by bringing down a few choice flights with drone swarms, then announcing more will come to those who dare.
