This reminds me of that silk road documentary. The feds knew they had nothing until they had the creator with not only his laptop I hand, but also open, because the second he closes it and it’s password protected there’s no legal way to prove it was him.
I certainly agree with your line of thought and my beliefs align with them.
My concern is the change in the internet. When I first got online in the early 2000s it really felt like the wild west. It was difficult to find the content you were looking for, however everything was right there for you to find. Sites like google did wonders to centralize sites and make it so much easier to find what you were looking for, and explore areas you wouldn’t have found otherwise.
Capitalism creates change. The benefit of that is to their shareholders. For the last 100 years I do believe it has drastically improved the quality of life for most all of us. However there is an increasing gap as the ultra wealthy, my ceo included, continue to get filthy Rick, while the share of the rest decreases as an overall percent.
We’re certainly in am interesting period. I hope it gets better. I don’t have faith it will. I also don’t want a massive revolution because that often involves a reset and large scale human suffering.
Anyway my rant is over. Sorry for any spelling mistakes. Cheers.
I’m with you for all of it except the capitalism bit. I think it’s just as naive to say that capitalism caused all that. As it is for ML communists to attribute all their developments and advances solely to Vladimir Lenin’s ideology. These things were happening all over the world at the same time. And in wildly different economic structures. I think it’s important to remind those that Lively worship capitalism. The Soviets kicked our ass in the space race all the way up until the very end. We managed to one of them at the end with the moon landing. But every step of the way they were ahead of us. And for all the harms Vladimir Lenin’s ideology caused. It wasn’t the complete and utter hellscape presented to us in the West.
