Because we had a good thing with the internet. It was a free marketplace of ideas where people could discuss things freely and honestly.
However, all the good ideas tend to be left-leaning and now that the internet has been opened up to morons we have professional trolls arguing in bad faith, convincing the morons to work against their best interest. Meanwhile, every good website eventually gets eaten up by corporations motivated solely by profit.
That’s why I think the scales have tipped towards authoritarianism. Now I’ll just sit here and wait for some troll to come call me a commie or something for this comment.
Although, some people seem to be thinking that going full Putin would be a good idea for some reason…
What you're forgetting is that communism has killed more people than have ever lived.
Jokes aside, capitalism needs authoritarianism to prop it up. It's a secular religion.
I did say “tend to be,” so whether or not a person thinks chairman meow is left or right is irrelevant. No need go full meow now. :p
Well analysed.
