      And there are more of them than we realized back when we started creating the internet. We fucked up pretty bad.

      I sometimes miss the days when the internet was just for scholars, nerds, and geeks.

        Language might have been the mistake. Or maybe agriculture. Perhaps it was evolving from great apes. All I know from looking at history is that this shit has been going on since long before the internet.

      Right?

      One of the biggest changes with the advent of the Internet was that no matter what your interests, the Internet was always there with that most comforting of messages: "You are not alone.

      Now that we can see that notion taken to it’s inevitable and absurd conclusion, I think we can safely say that for lots and lots of people, it’s for the best that they’re left to believe they are, actually, alone.

      Which hopefully exposes some to reality. And wouldn’t be so bad when it doesn’t if the 3 letter gang did their fucking jobs with these domestic terrorists.
