    the internet has sort of mimicked the evolution of America pretty well, going from strange under-developed land of opportunity to late-capitalist nightmare in the span of 20 years instead of 200.

    social media was the mall where initially kids hung out to gossip, then became overpopulated with bloated franchises and everyone realized it's only for vapid consumerism. now there's still some dorks hanging out at the food court because going home is the only thing worse than hanging around, but the air conditioning is broken and everything smells like butter and fear and half the stores have mid-level managers sweating bullets at next quarter's financial returns, posting big-ass sale signs in the window.

    zuckerberg is just like the president of abercrombie and fitch, seeing the massive ascent with a few people saying "you're all morons" and eventually the rest catching on.

    • The internet is not capitalist. 99% of the website and content you digest is FREE. Speech is censored and community is valued over the individual.Hayoth
    • You pay for access. The government is not censoring speech, and only would if it was hate speech, so you're really wrong on all points.monospaced
    • I do see some internet sites censoring hate speech, but those are all capitalist ones. Also, individuals can do whatever the fuck they want on the internetmonospaced
    • @Hayoth, if the internet was real you'd have five individuals in suits following you to every store and writing down every step you take to sell. capitalist.colin_s
    • Do the brainwashed tards actually think that the internet is free? Your data, the ads, the profits...cause it is free.utopian
