I hope you're right. And historically we've seen plenty of instances where the political pendulum has ceased its arc and gone in the opposite direction in spite of the best attempts of an authoritarian and their minions.

There were less people on the planet then, less "connectivity". That might work against us.

I remember..
Yahoo chat's peak were their mic fighters... we had long graduated to video and songflames by then and ran rings about their efforts.

Quote from: Shen Li on October 06, 2024, 10:40:06 PMHillary Clinton said on CNN, "we lose total control" if social media content is not more regulated. Exactly! She's accidentally admitting the whole point of their attack on social media. Social media can't be contained and they're losing their grip on power. They hate it!

Quote from: Oliver the Second on October 06, 2024, 11:18:07 PMRemember the old internet when almost every news site would allow you to post comments? Sure don't see many of those anymore. Couldn't help but notice how the comments were almost always heavily against the 'official narrative'... funny how that works.
It's still common here in Asia Ollie. We are moving away from censoring unconventional or unpopular opinions and you North Americans have embraced it with both arms.
