Yeah, we have "freedom of speech," but once you start paying attention you realize how limited that is. For example, your job potentially letting you go because of a tweet you made not reflecting company values. if you were here when the keffals shit was going on, that was a great example of the limits' freedom of speech has. Google literally sniped us from the search results.
But since we failed to keep these corporations and companies in check, they have made money off of exploiting our psychology and can't be stopped any time soon. At least in the United States. If this shit ever falls, it's because of platforms having to conform to the increasing restrictions in other countries. Or flat out bans. Honestly, I think the globalization of the internet will come to an end soon with how certain things are playing out. Like how it is in China, everywhere just has its own strict firewall.
Anti-intellectualism is on the rise. No matter if you're a bible-thumping cousin fucker or a they/them tranny, everyone across the board hates education. Since everyone now has the attention span of goldfish, nobody wants to sit down and actually learn something. Schools are so focused on good-looking numbers and tests. They teach memorization but they don't teach actual comprehension. Consequences of failure have been stripped in public educational settings. Our education is already so disjoined and the problem is going to get more apparent.
We don't bring attention to things of value, we bring it to stupid shit like hawk tuah. People gathered to protest the "goonacide" of a literal sex offender outside a fast food joint. What the fuck are we doing to ourselves? We're stripping ourselves of humanity for the sake of conformity. No matter how retarded it may be. Anybody and anything being able to have a platform is not a beneficial thing, and we see that play over and over. But we never learn.
Shit like that has me wondering if underregulated internet is a good thing after all?
