In theory, the internet is the most fucking communist thing you can imagine. Imagine being able to access all of humanity’s knowledge at an instant’s notice. Imagine being able to connect with a human hundreds of thousands of miles away. Imagine being able to get firsthand information about someone else’s life experience without any filter
PSYCH Lol you’re a fucking dreamer, the internet only ever had utility in the context of enriching already incomprehensibly rich assholes and allowing them to invent reality
Internet is one of the biggest contradictions of the current society, all of its benefits can be traced to the leftist/libertarian roots of its core philosophy, and the rest of its history is capitalists struggling for control while trying to hide and minimize all the ways they benefit from the socialist parts of the internet
