Everyone in Wagner was about to be conscripted into the regular Russian Army as the latest in an ongoing power struggle between Wagner's boss and the Russian MoD. So to avoid losing his private army, the boss has stepped up the power struggle to an attempted coup, basically.

Almost anything by Peter F. Hamilton but particular shout out to the Commonwealth books, Pandora's Star and Judas Unchained. Two massive changes in particular - gateway style interplanetary travel, and de-aging technology.

I don't think you can buy many feathers for a pound, so probably the pound of pounds. I say probably because I'm not ruling out the possibility of buying a couple of feathers from like, an enormous bird.

Oxygen of publicity spreads toxicity. Defederation would take away a huge part of their potential to reach people, if they're being toxic.
