      The Internet is a very, very large part of why we’re in this mess. Once the fascists realized they could run a global propaganda network, it was game over for civilization.

      It’s dead, but like a tree it can take a long time to die.

    The Internet now:

    > google

    > find AI-generated content for your bizarre thing that nobody else has thought of yet

    > start chatting with a bot that reinforces your fantasies with the mashed-up content of all the world’s knowledge

    > disappear into a rabbit hole forever

After internet:

> I find a community that validates me
> I make content to radicalize "normies" through concerns about "forced diversity"
> I make them vote against their class interest
> Why the fuck is everything so expensive now?

    One can too play this game!

        Plus nazis adapted to the internet (/tech before it in general, see Hungarian kusoge developer Tamás “Tomcat” Polgár) way quicker than the left.

          I’m surprised they adapted to the internet earlier, I was around for the internet of the early oughts and much of my experience was that of being disabused of the ideas of my conservative/nationalist upbringing.

            Basically the left was way more disorganized, and has a tankie problem, that turns people away from left-wing activism.

              I don’t see why tankies turn people away more than Nazis. Do you think it’s that Tankies don’t bother with hiding their power level?

    Read the Darwin Awards books and you’ll know that in the past it was “He had an accident when he was younger and can’t have kids now”.
