haha remember back when we thought our lovely arguments on the internet had no impact on anything real

"internet serious business" was literally the SA motto

how far have we came

now the internet is literally the future of politics and the economy and society

it always was but it didn't quite feel like that for a while.

like back when you didn't get a facebook/twitter/snapchat notification that someone called you a dickfaced cornhuffer it was a lot easier to ignore the social aspect, but when everyone at your school is communicating through the internet, forums, and memery you better believe that poo poo matters cause now it's where the socialization happens.

I don't give a single poo poo about the next generation and they're completely politically irrelevant

all the effects of the internet that people have been talking about are because of millennials/gen x/boomers, which suggests that the problem is actually the internet/current implementation of the internet itself and not :eek: Young People :eek:
