politics

to all of my pro-democracy friends here: we need to realize that the majority of people, especially those in tech, currently prefer technocracy over democracy. they actively want autocrats to tell them what to do and how to live because they think it’s easier to get to their superficial goals that way. 

it’s unlikely you’re going to change their mind until it blows up in their face. stay strong; stay in control where you can; keep those technocrats as friends where possible. ride the rapids and stay alive - the time of democracy will come again. 

people just have to learn the hard way sometimes.

I've been thinking about this for days... the effects will last all over the world as countries essentially get brought in under 1 of 3 authoritarians, either through military force or economic force. 

The only power we had was votes, and now, likely, we don't have that power anymore as the media either complies or gets shut down. 

I agree that they only way it'll change is after things get really, really bad, and then hopefully, those remaining can work together again.
