      It’s an uphill battle, but it’s better to start early than late.

      Unlike before, the rich now have private armies, lobbying groups, and mass surveillance networks while we peasants own nothing. Plus, the pot is slowly boiled.

        The rich have always had private armies and spy networks. The technology may have changed, but same old same old.

          I disagree. My opinion is that the technology did change. It just became more efficient at doing its job (killing people, surveillance, and mass propaganda).

          The internet was supposed to be a gateway of information, but now it’s the largest propaganda network. Free speech is censored by closed source algorithms and the entire internet infrastructure is controlled and owned by the 1%.

          We are more isolated compared to before, class solidarity is almost nonexistent, and its easier to identify people now vs before due to being interconnected real time.

          I can go more on and on but the tldr is that technology has made it easier and faster to crush dissent

        Data centers are made by companies and companies have board of directors who have heads. CEOs have heads.

        If Louis so-and-so hadn’t had a head my ancestors would have blown him to bits, that’s also an option for datacenters, just look at Iran !
