Yeah, I just don’t know how we come back from this. It’s not like the sane among us are suddenly going to decide to go along with fascism, nor is that 30+% that somehow control the narrative going to stop being the literal worst all of a sudden (see: post-Reconstruction).
So we… Balkanize? Hold US Nuremberg trials and actually do something about the priblem, assuming we can get to that point?

Oh you underestimate people’s self interest. If Big Tech continues on it’s trajectory to a kind of Theil-ish cyberpunk dystopia, most people are going to go along. Like, even I have super techy naturalized family that keeps using Google or Facebook stuff. It’s (seemingly) too essential.

If that’s your definition of sane I think you are in for a surprise about how low the number of sane people is. Just like common sense isn’t actually that common.
