      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.

    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”.

    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

    Before internet:
    > I want to be a nazi
    > My father fucking beats me up
    > Go back to normal
    
    After internet:
    > I want to be a nazi
    > 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!
