Comparing today's media, to the media of old - where they colluded to hide FDR couldn't walk because of the shame/and attacks it'd lead to now, where Tech companies overtook print media and now themselves control the pitchforks and direct anger at the masses.

1984 Two minutes of hate is real, so very real, and it's quite sad how most people welcomed this into the world.

I've deleted my social media, twitters years before, and have divested myself completely from other platforms. There is nothing to be valued, gained or such,

The Internet should always be a decentralized, fragmented piece of human technology. The more centralized it becomes, the more authoritarian it is. And the orgs that become in control point the finger at others to show off how it's not them.

I hold no opinion on Trump, but these tech companies have to much power and it's a game of bidding where they can creep more and more into our lives and general lobbying to make the case that life is "better" with them here then it ever was before.

I can't say if it really is.
