If I had my way, the Internet never would have existed. Despite the positives, I feel it's done more harm than good. It had the capacity to do great things and yet we used it to spread misinformation and evil. There is no benefit worth the evil that's happened due to giving everyone a voice. "Freedom" doesnt come from some obnoxious cunt ranting from their $80,000 truck drivers seat. Burn them, burn them now and let's move forward.
Someone clearly wasn't alive before the internet
I'm a millennial... The Internet had the promise of great things. Sharing the entirety of human knowledge with all, right?so much promise. But it's mostly used to share brain rot videos and misinformation. Like your one sentence quip that didn't provide anything beyond snark.
It also provides all the knowledge of humanity for those who are willing to take it. Some chose to only watch brain rot, so they only see brain rot. And their rants don't provide even snark, they suck the life out of conversation with their misguided misanthropy
