    That’s my point. The internet ia not any different to the media for the vast majority, who consume content and propaganda carefully curated by platforms which are owned and operated by billionaire oligarchs; most of which are based in the fascist dictatorship of the USA, with CEO’s who have been granted military ranks and clearances by the fascist dictatorship.

      Yeah, I broadly agree with you. The platforms we’re on play such a huge role in the dysfunction the western world is experiencing

      with CEO’s who have been granted military ranks

      Is that a thing that has happened…? I’d expect it would at some point down the road but as an American I wasn’t aware that had already happened… 😅

        I was mistaken. It was execs not the CEO’s.

        Four senior executives at Palantir, Meta, and OpenAI have been formally appointed lieutenant colonels in the US Army following the creation of a “special” unit created for rich Big Tech mavens seeking military leadership roles.
