They see the writing on the wall. The younger generations understand technology and are much less hesitant about regulating it.
In 15 - 20 years the majority of Congress won't be made up of people who say 'I don't understand it but it's making money so let's leave them be' — it'll be made up full of people who say 'this shit worked better when I was a kid, let's go back to that'.
This mofo is so WOKE he changed his name TWICE.

Their Trojan Horse has failed miserably so far. Gotta hand it to a weirdo like Peter Thiel to put up someone so repulsive and totally uncharismatic.
I think that democracy may be okay. Hear me out. Everywhere I turn I keep hearing that democracy has failed for a variety of reasons that I won't rehash here.
What if the "democracy has failed" assertion is meant to dishearten people who would otherwise fight for it? Like, if democracy has already failed then there is no point to fighting the fascists. But, if the fascists have a road map to destroy democracy that relies on little to no resistance from the masses, then convincing people that democracy has failed is a pretty sharp move from a political strategy point of view.
Democracy only fails if we stop fighting for it.
These animals have no morals and will use any trick they can think of. But I think you're right, people will fight on and part of that is stopping people from becoming disheartened.
I don't think true democracy has ever been achieved, where all people have a say in how society operates. So it is, fundamentally, a never ending story.
This country’s democracy has been optimized to benefit a privileged few, the failure has been going on for longer than I’ve been around. We fight fascists for our lives, don’t let some nebulous country rock nonsense about democracy obscure that. It’s not the government that’s worth saving, it’s the people
