The internet is still such an unintended consequence to central power. It was easy to control the narrative when it was just tv/radio/newspapers. Now that anyone can have a voice it changes the game. While I’m bullish on nostr, Twitter is still clearly the main internet medium. The international digital town square. Elon bought twitter for the same reason why bezos bought Washington post. Profit was not the main priority, it was the value of controlling the power of media

Free speech really shined once the internet was adopted
Don’t underestimate the impact of your voice online. We are all just trying to do the best we can to navigate thru this pickle

That’s what I’ve been boiled down to here. GM, GN & GFY. It’s all I’ll scrawl on the walls of my padded cell as they activate my brain chip to re assign me. 😂
This is also why boomers are the way they are. They grew up before the internet and got their state programming all from the tv. So their opinions were already all fully formed before they ever discovered social media. Again it’s like the fourth turning stated, each generation is the way they are based on how old they were when they went thru each event. A millennial that was still forming their opinions could get online and have an open mind and change their opinion, where as a boomer would approach that same alternative opinion as a conspiracy theory and immediately scoff at it and never even consider changing their deeply rooted, long held core beliefs the state gave them thru the tv
I’m from the 60s but I’m still open, i just feel lucky enough not to be programmed by the constant current thing that kids all follow. Trans climate collapse BS. They can’t get away from doom shite. Life is actually F’ing amazing.
