Many were desensitized by the early, totally unmoderated internet.

I’m really confused what this could be referring to.

Because the folks who’ve been around the longest and remember the early days of the Internet are currently in utter dismay over how their fun international sandbox has become a Black Mirror-esque horror show, while everyone else seems to just shrug and obediently upload their face scans so they can watch AI videos of uncanny-valley cats playing cruel pranks on facsimiles of political figures in-between unskippable ads for applying to be an ICE agent under promises that it’ll be like COD but in your own backyard with living, breathing brown people.

Statistically speaking, most people alive for the days of the early internet are significantly better off than younger generations. That’s my guess, that whoever posted this is comfortably oblivious to the class war

But if you’ve been around long enough and have been reading and paying attention to history, you shouldn’t be surprised because the ruling class is literally doing what they have always done.

The US has not changed, their ruling class has been raping and eating people and children since its inception, but people ignore that history or aren’t taught it because it was done to slaves.

Slavery never ended, it just changed names and presentation to for-profit prisons.

Idk if we are desensitized or just not surprised because we could see it coming
