    With how ‘enshitification’ is happening, I wouldn’t be surprised if back doors and ‘less than above board’ websites are controlled in the future. I, as a laymen who is at least here on Memmy using Lemmy, feel like the internet is going to be consolidated and controlled in the next decade or so. The elites need to be able to stifle any unionization of the populous (look at the purchasing of Twitter during the peak of the BLM movement and anti-hijab movement dying). How else are the elite going to ensure that the populous is easily controlled and they don’t develop empathy for all-people, dissolving prejudices that enable them to more easily control us?

    Getting back on track; with how shits tightening down for the WWW, how do you envision piracy still working with the elite uniting against us?

      Usually populations do a few diffrent things under oppression:

      1. everything is fine, look at our source of pride,
      2. it sucks but what are you gonna do?
      3. lay flat defeatism
      4. WERE FUCKING BURNING SOMTHING

      Right now they want to think we live in a option 1 and 2 country. We will be an option 3 and/or 4 verry soon. They cant mask the minipulation in option 4 and cant continue to funtion with either 3 or 4.
