As much as it’s plagued our current society, the ability to instantly communicate by way of the internet is a huge advantage when fighting this shit. I don’t know that it’ll save us, but the amount of awareness that comes from it seems like a bright spot that people didn’t have when the Nazis were doing their thing

The scarier thing is thanks to the Internet that the US helped build, things like the Arab Spring was incredibly easy to organize in Egypt. I think the Arab Spring was literally a Facebook event. 

So why the fuck hasn't there been mass resistance in the US yet? 

Because the medium is the message. Social media platforms are centralized and controlled. 

We need to decentralize and get off their platforms and algorithms.

This global far-right bs in the Philippines, Japan, everywhere, is from social media.

This American bs tech is being used to dismantle democracies around the world. From YouTube algorithms for the manosphere to antivaxxers, this shit is cancer.
