Whenever we get mildly interested in knowing something

this TL is cursed af mate

Reminds me of that bbc referendum coverage where one presenter said “people usually vote the way they are told”

Just thinking of it like that gives you massive perspective

hahaha they mustn't have realized that it was the British people they were talking about

We do the exact opposite of what we are told

it;s why we don;t get along with the germans

it does, i genuinely think the internet might actually be the most dangerous weapon we've ever made

The powers that be are trying hard to bring it under control

it's Pandora's box tho

the lid is off, all they have left is hope.

I mean think about it for a second

You have an MP

You want to know everything public about them

You can search that in seconds now

my mp is a drunk

20 years ago that was basically impossible

I don't even need the internet to tell me that

Youd need to find a book

or more realistically someone who knows them

It would require big brother style system to bring the internet under control

and is willing to talk

but i would never have known which way he votes till now

Now you can tell if a politician is serial lier

a flip flopper

etc

naa, not even a big brother style system could chain the internet

Look at china

people can still use the outside internet

yeah, it does make it much easier to educate yourself as to how your MP is actually acting

exactly

Chinese people still make memes

The internet is a chinese finger trap

The more you try to regulate it

the more it adapts and changes

to avoid it

and prevent it in the future

the only way to control the internet would be to destroy it.

Which is literally impossible

ergo it cannot be chained

So long as there is a fucking tablet somewhere
