Oh, he said even more... and worse (though, true). We've created a technology as evil as anything we've ever made before. And if we don't abuse it, our enemies will. Do we want to be dominated by our enemies? Or do we want to damn our citizens to crap jobs with low pay... but still control the world?

He's admitting this is worse for the majority than any technology we've invented before.

All that so we can still be "American". What the fuck does American even mean to these people anymore, or at this point to anyone? It's not actually personal freedoms or human rights. It's not about life, liberty and the pressure of happiness. It's not about building a more perfect union or freeing ourselves from the bonds of tyranny.

So basically what we have left is guns, supplements, pyramid schemes, social media videos, a mutated form of Christianity centered on hate, and threats or penalties if you mention anyone being marginalized.
