I wrote this as a comment to a reaction on this steemit article of 
As this touches on a lot of interesting issues I preseved it as an article itself. 1 on 1 cut and paste, here it is:
Before the internet society was a well engineered machine. indctrinated by media. That same media also occupied most peoples brains with movies, gameshows, soap series, etc. The USA was far more advanced with far more TV channels with far more mindless content. But then in the USA the Internet came to life as a militraty installation. ARPAnet
That makes me wonder how much of todays spy work was intended right from the start.
But also i find it interesting how the people of the world embraced the net and now try to set it free.
In a way the net seems has opened up many peoples eyes to what freedom actually is, and how limited our freedoms have become under the rule of our leaders.
We can create more freedom for ourselves by assuring that the internet will be free. But it's an up hill battle to accomplish that.
In a way people outside of the USA are more free then the people in the 'the land of the free'. As the average american has to battle far more media indoctrination on a daily basis.
I'm living without cable connection for many years, and that really changed my view on the world.
People work their asses of and when they get home they tired brains are far more sensitve for bullshit media. To tired to analyse anything for truth or fiction. So if they actually trust the bullshit then they get sucked in ever deeper and it becomes ever more complicated to see the truth. Luckly there now was an EPIC liar active in the skin of Mrs. Clinton who told so many lies that she lied to herself about her lies that people now start to see how bad it all has become.
I kinda lost the topic here. Let me try to get back on track.
The picture is so big and so distorted that it's impossible to see all the flaws. All we can do is spot the biggest flaws and start to fix them (at al cost) Just shake the system till it breaks. And then delete the memory loop and patch it with stuff that is build on truth.
The problem seems to be that there are not enough politicians (not to say none) who have a clue about technology. Technology is not magic, but when you look at how politicians treat it then they do as if it is magic. We need ..... lets find someone to write software that does this. Regardless of how nature works.
We want it, we pay, you build. And we need it ready yesterday, secure and well for the next 25 years to come. You can sleep when it is ready.
O and we need security patches for our bullshit...
Just insane, and one bullshit project isn't finished and they are already ordering the next.
This is a monster trainwreck. they will never be able to keep up with this and it will fail as nothing ever failed before if they keep going at this rate. Philip K. Dick could not have seen this kind of tech go to oblivion.
The USA may get Europe n it's knees, but the USA will soon have itself on it's own knees as well. As the very things they create to attack the world can, and probably will, bite them in the ass far more painfully then they ever can imagine. IF world politics will allow things to go on like this. The only way forward is to break everything that can break.
Just to show the actual dangers of the flaws.
Now things can still break without putting peoples lives at risk.
But it will put rich people money at risk. Specially money of people who have invested in lobbyist bullshit. :-D So that's actually not a bad thing then, is it?
Then the broken crap can be replaced by decentralised tech marvels of the new -age.
Tech is now in the bullshit era, where baby internet is shitting the diapers so damn full until they burst.
Then 30 years from now the same will happen when The internet reaches puberty.
We were allies on papers that were signed after WWII
At the end of WWII Europe has sold its soul to the USAvil.
USA funded WWII and then Europe had to go on it's knees to let the USA 'save them'. And we have paid ever since to be an ally of 'the lesser evil' Not everything was bad, but being subjected to the one who saved you. is the same as paying protection money to a mobster.
Pay or else you are on your own. Welcome to the free world
This is what the government is doing now to the internet
Sell us into their 'protection'
Pay the gov to 'protect you' but in fact you pay the mobster who will do everything to undermine your very existence.
Once people see this and realise what it means then they could maybe stand up and say enough is enough.
Any idea's hoe to get there??
