Reddut is SO dead... And it's insane how much internet liberty we've lost over the past 7 or so years. I remember back in 2012 every month or so there was a new anti-government interference in the internet thread on reddit that got the most upvotes and that people tried to fight............ and then all of a sudden that is never talked about at all anymore at that level... I dread to think how many bills the government has passed censoring and destroying the internet.

You also have to understand why the internet was dis empowered so. Various protests like Occupy Wall-street and Middle eastern protests against authoritarian regimes were aided by internet communication. Its why all the respective states began to employ disruptions across the board on these networks. The end game of the state is to keep enabling the few in power and keeping containment on the masses which they will continue to do so because its default human behavior uncorrected.

At this point, the state has enabled a quasi-fascist movement attempting to take off from the internet via right wing authoritarianism but it too doesn't have much merit in the wild, since it is doomed to fail. The proper address to systemic issues is not happening in a balanced manner; so this reactionary environment will lead to further sabotage of the state and all executives involved. Grab some popcorn

Actually, it can be both!

It started with maoist/marxist authoritarianism, and now the wanna-be right wing fascists have gotten involved to make things worse.

FTFY.
