Comment on I wonder why the widespread adoption of the internet hasn't been good for society as a whole.

The current interation has made it a tool for the authoritarian. Its a completely deliberate act by the authoritarian tech sector. They saw the power they wield and they harnessed it.

But that’s on us as people electing leaders. Authoritarians exist with or without the internet, and don’t just show up one day with some cheat code to get into power. The internet didn’t create any of this from scratch.

And the people let it. I mean everyone talks about using the 2nd amendment and no one ever did.

Any sane person saw all this shit… and by sane I don’t even mean educated… Like you can be dumb and understand all this is bullshit.

  I think they like it and they like it when other people watch.
