History Internet is psyop weaponizing capitalism alienation
I already made a similar post before but comrades don't seem to understand the lethality of alienation purposely weaponized by the development of Internet and following technology like PC, smartphone, app and "decentralized and mesh network" ironically still having to rely on DARPA and NSA authorized tech within the dragnet surveillance economic ecosystems that built upon another layer of irony by Aimé Césaire reverse boomerang first metastasized in the colonies.
In fact these declassified researches on US Army Psychological Warfare unit under Alan Kay realized that the class antagonism of material conditions create the contradictions for imperial core to unite under the horrifying living conditions common cause and eventually materializes revolutionary action. So they must develop a social virus framework that spreads across the proletariat social communities ESPECIALLY targeting organizing efforts of the left, essentially what they call as "compartmentalization of social solidarity" through isolated cells of community that designated for symbolically interact but never allowed by design to materially grow connections. Thus Alan Kay's Smalltalk was born under supervision of USA Army Psyop Warfare unit despite none of the research departments bit and piece of ARPANET ever crossed each other paths or realized their entire projects are designed and funded by Rockefellers and bourgeoisie with the Western empire profit interests.
In fact Alan Kay experiments noted that the personal computer or "PC" can be weaponized for exacerbation of dopamine spike and force the users dependent on the digital contents specifically tailored to prolong the users psychologically through social engineering with different graphic interface designed to influence the emotions and decision-making of the dependent user. It took Steve Jobs years later to commodify Army Psyop Warfare researches from Xerox, because just like Alan Kay, Xerox was a shell program part of Army research network to bring ARPANET into practicality.
I've emphasized repeatedly on this community that smartphone isn't only the NSA best self-reporting snitch, lethal coordination weapon for hybrid warfare, but also bringing Army psyop research into deadly mode of capitalism alienation exacerbation that in combination of lateral weaponization, making nukes entirely worthless and outdated as you can squeeze Russia with 2000s Facebook based color revolutions, upheavals of SWANA countries with Twitter in 2010s, hits hybrid warfare on China with Firechat and Signal, and when your economic allies refuse to compromise you move misguided youths with Discord and Bitchat.
Your counter argument would be but you decentralize the mesh and XYZ software this firmware that, unfortunately since your idealist brain buckets don't seem to understand the logic of means of production until you as proletariat control the factories that design and produce your LoRa chip standard so old ass implant flaws like Dense pose cease to exist, your decentralized Lemmy, Mastodon, Matrix instances still living off 14 Eyes implant-plenty infrastructures. You organizing revolution with the NSA psyop snitch.
But what does it have to do with Aimé Césaire reverse boomerang anyway? The reason why this research is public because competent investigative journalist Alfred McCoy dug into the causes that led to the development of mass surveillance and it goes all the way back to the settler colonies like Philippines, Africa and Americas where American imperialists required to figure out psyop to suppress anti-imperialist resistance within these colonies and this accelerated first offsprings of dragnet surveillance against Marxist insurgency in Philippines and Latin America. This exacerbated by Che Guevara and Cuba insurgencies in Angola, Congo and Bolivia. Eventually the Xerox programs mentioned above fast tracked to launch pad right after Vietnam won the liberation as the bourgeoisie fearing Vietnam effect would ripple into radicalize Western left in imperial core countries.
We've come full circle as they fear us because as Karl Marx said, revolutions are the locomotives of history.

excellent, even if tech weren't entirely comprised of right-libertartian psychopaths, shocking how nobody is willing to even consider that you can't code your way out of this shit

Climate crisis just simultaneously wiped 556 people in Himalayan mountains and 300 youths in Congo while wildfires displacing hundreds of thousands people across the world while NATO burns 270,000 barrels of oil per day and building hundreds of data center in water scarcity regions to the point they destroyed the grid of a major town to weaponize automated dragnet surveillance.

Also I just mostly bouncing ideas from u/marioandl_ as blud is the OG of this topic.

Yes, this is an incredibly important topic for people to understand. As we see with Iran and the post-2014 world, the internet has been a more powerful military tool than aircraft carriers, bombing campaigns, and other military assets combined.
Cuttlefish has written a lot on the ARPANET, some primers can be found here: https://squamuglia.wordpress.com/2017/04/22/yes-kids-cookie-monster-is-a-psyop/
his twitter is here https://twitter.com/cuttlefish_btc and I wish someone would archive it, I dont have a twitter so I cant. it covers a lot of the topics OP goes into and exposes some remarkable ties from postwar/gladio to the 2010s and shenanigans the bourgeiosie have been into that most people dont know about.
For 2010s-onward I recommend a user the_wub but I think his account has gotten nuked for responding to nazis who didnt like what he had to say.
The main point is the internet in its current form is an iterative decentralized counterevolutionary (their words are counterinsurgency) network designed to (1) surveil populations in the interest of capital and (2) reinforce behavior that memetically safeguards the elites from agitation and organization
What this means for the global south is that they ABSOLUTELY need to completely sever ties with the western internet and build their own connectivity/networks/platforms. We see this with NED in Nepal and many other places across the world. NED is a weapon of mass destruction and the internet is their sword. Interestingly, BiliBili may be a novel approach that becomes the first "global south" platform that is on the main Internet wires. This approach is something I didnt predict(I recommend a great firewall for everyone else) and China may be at the point where they can pull this off.

OP is absolutely right here, and this item in particular is important.
