    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:

    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?

                That, plus the general issue of authoritarianism and lack of short-term solutions, which is also true to other forms of more authoriative leftists, like those who think issues caused by callout culture on those who are not children’s authors gone TERF will be solved once we have UBI.

      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”.
