We all know that the internet is a product of US military agencies. Yet, the default idea is that the internet means (more or less) free flow of information and a good thing in general.
But is that so? Could it be that the internet was just another con from the get go? Just a bit longer one than the rest of them. After all, we've seen it before.
For example, smartphones. At the start it was all fun and games. Then it got a bit more serious, but still nice and cool. And now it has turned into opressive slave device, with constant suveillance, that is almost compulsory to have and quite hard to live without.
Is the internet any different? It started as this highway of information, rainbows and unicorns and all that. But now it gets more and more censored, more and more oppressive with each passing day. If current trend continues, at the end it will be nothing more than totally controlled tool of oppression. Could it be that that was its design from the very beginning?
The internet has become a tool of control and manipulation. You can argue it wasnt intended to become at origination, but at what point did the intention become control? (How long after inception?)
Once the decision is made to control the internet, actual control is an incremental process that may take 10-20 years.
2014 is when they decided us plebs can't be trusted to vote properly.
The internet hasn't changed. How it's used by the media and government has. If people weren't morons, they would notice the propaganda and think for themselves. But they are and they don't.
I don't know how you can honestly argue that the 'internet hasn't changed'. I think you should reread that statement and think about what you're arguing.
What has honestly remained consistent with the internet? literally nothing but the protocols. The major players, web-browser, sites, web 1.0, web 2.0, social media, youtube...NOTHING on the internet has remained static.
You're confusing the internet with things on the internet or things that connect to the internet.
The protocols, the connections, those ARE the internet.
Sure websites change. Political powers change. But the internet is still the same.
At least link to Mike Benz if you're going to parrot his talking points
You are overestimating it. I give it 5 years at a maximum.
Maybe almost overnight because of Daemonic influences.
