i have a slightly different view of the internet, while it can be viewed of course, as a battlefield when we see all the endless flamewars, doxxing, trolling, disinfo etc, but, since its a arpa/darpa project i often see the internet not as a battlefield, but in fact as a weapon. a weapon made and controlled by the enemy. a weapon that is a spy machine, a central piece of the coming panopticon, a censorship machine, prototyped in china and deployed woldwide, and ultimately a mind control machine, with its endless distractions, ads, and corporate news cycles.

for that reason i think its better to pick and fight our battles in real life, like the yellow vests are doing, and keep the internet at a safe distance from our real lives. a victory in real life makes a bigger difference than a victory in cyberspace.

btw she makes decent vids, for sure, its a pity she didnt mention yuri bezmenov tho.

It's all of those.

But you can't keep it at a safe distance. It infects every aspect of our lives, and if not our lives then everyone around us.
