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?
Yes, exactly. It's not like this is some super hidden secret information. The internet is a product of the establishment. Everyone knows it. And still people believe it's like some spontaneous thing that kind of appeared out of nothing without any specific purpose or reason.
I don't know where you stand on this but I always make the case that people were conditioned into this line of thinking through the materialist and determinist cosmology that most atheists presuppose. Namely the evolutionary myth that reduces to the same nihilistic "truth" - there's no purpose behind anything and everything in existence is the result of pure chance and random atoms bumping into each other for no good reason. Once you believe that, it's easy to convince yourself everything happening around you is random and a just a string of coincidences (or conversely, too complex to conceptualize into a coherent system). The (un)scientific theory of evolution and its domination of education (T.H. Huxley and Rockefeller) and pop culture is a psy op. Darwin was a Royal Society darling.
