It's all manufactured division. They create false stories, employ people to start fights / antagonize on social media, push one-sided narratives on various news networks ( trace all news orgs to the top, they're all owned by the same people ) all in an effort to manufacture division and unrest. They do the same thing with race...and it works. Racism is more alive today in the west than it has ever been because it's an easy dividing line, and the current 'queer' ideology is no different.

I don't want to get all Biblical and be labeled another 'religious nutjob', but Matthew 12:25 says it best: Jesus knew their thoughts and said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself will be ruined, and every city or household divided against itself will not stand."

In other words: United we stand, divided we fall. Humans are just too easily turned towards one another, and the people who want to control everything know it. Especially now when you can actually convince a group of people to believe in something that is just structurally and factually incorrect, like 'flat Earth' or 'men can be women'.

I don't mean to be all morose, I just think we've long-passed the point of "It can get better." I simply don't think it can, not anymore.

I had a whole wild conspiracy theory thing going here, but, well I don't wanna get into it. What it boils down to is if you believe in the generational theory, we're due for a cataclysmic event soon that will basically break society and then we'll have to rebuild. I theorize that something is going to happen to the Internet and that all this crazy stuff happening on here in the precursor to that.

So what I mean to say is, it can get better. After it gets a whole lot worse. But give it twenty years if you got it.

I mean, the pandemic already happened, didn't it?

I feel like the pandemic wasn't the event so much as the response but even that was more symptomatic of where society is right now, and the lockdowns and everything just exacerbated what's going on online right now.

I don't think the pandemic response broke society but it definitely helped push open the cracks a bit. Maybe it's morosely hopeful thinking on my part, but I really think something like social media or whole internet collapse is due to happen soon. God knows I feel like the Internet has been such a double edged sword for the world, but damn if that second edge isn't starting to hit harder than the first, at least for me.

It could also be that I'm just a crotchety old man who is frightened and confused by the kids these days.

This is pure, concentrated copium.

What might happen is the continuation of what's already in course: the surface internet becoming more and more controlled and online life becoming more and more centralized into few giant social media sites.

At best, people might migrate in masse for the "deep web" and less centralized online networks, but even that is farfetched.

True. Most people at least over 40 or even mid 30s and some in late 20s have gotten burnt out with social media and the constant non-stop barrage and distraction of it, yes a lot of people were on it when it was new but a lot of the super early people who would now be called proto-"influencers" are no longer on it, or have long since moved on. Southpark back when it was still funny and made fun of everyone and everything had an episode about this with former internet/youtube stars.

My grandparents and parents told me it was like this with film, radio, and later TV.

I can see an AI takeover, not in a malicious sense, but in the sense of making the internet basically unusable just because it's filled with AI chatbots just talking to each other nonstop, and that being the thing that "takes down the internet "

I have hope that, as a society, we would push back against social credit scores and a Cyberpunk-esque corporate takeover of our lives. But then, I also wouldn't be surprised if people were like, "Yeah, Google's recording my thoughts and my eye implant footage, but I have nothing to hide and it's so convenient to get my calendar right there on my HUD."

I definitely think the internet is going to play a pivotal role in societal collapse in some form, though.

True, a lot of the journalists writing articles are not even from the countries, cities, states/provinces they are paid to write remotely about and they just make things up to get a word count and whatever the "news" company or their employer wants to have others read.

Also what you see on social media, through "influencers", tik-tok, YouTube, Twitter, etc. is fake I don't mean the cooking or DIY repair videos, but videos where people go on a rant about their entire identity, micro-agressions/"trauma", etc.

The more followers someone has the more fake and untruthful they are.

Despite what grifters like Dylan claim, nobody except the tech or product company owners is making lots of money from any of this.
