    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 poor and understand all this is bullshit.

      It’s like people are psychologically manipulated… And they are if you look into it.

        I think they like it and they get off on it when other people watch.
