the modern political system? yes for sure it is that way. but cant we change that? i mean the internet was supposed to level the playing field. everyone could speak with an equal voice, they intervened and twisted it so now the internet has filters that prohibit certain messages from passing certain checkpoints.

i look at some of my non-technical friends, (i am sure everyone knows some) they think the internet is google, netflix and facebook. if you download a song from youtube, they look at you like you are a magician. They are never going to leave those big sites. let them be, you will never convert them.

what i am thinking about is not a website, but a new protocol or something. where everyone who uses it, can speak to everyone else who does as well. e-mail, years ago, was the draw that got people started using the internet.  but now it is filtered, passed through intelligence services, monitored, recorded, and who knows what else. you cant start your own email service any more, those ports are blocked, and if google doesnt recognize you, all messages from your exchange will be blocked.

for some reason, the 1%(what are we calling them now?) think communicating freely with others is a danger. I think it is a prerequisite to a healthy society.
