History is a slow march of progress with each step punctuated by freefals of regress.

i guess it is if we assume the internet is a necessary part of the development of the productive forces

shit was so cash

the issue isnt really the internet but rather the way its used currently. under a socialist society we probably wouldnt have predatory algorithms trying to get us hooked and destroy our critical thinking skills

Dont blame the tool. Blame the one who uses it as a weapon.

they called it a chinstrap. I have always worn a chinstrap, though significantly thicker. more along the lines of an abraham lincoln

Literally my favourite game, also politically based

That image is from the internet world.

I feel like the 2000s were legitimately the last chance I could've had to have some kind of regular sex life. I fucked it up by being so asocial and anxious that I couldn't take advantage of what should've been slam dunks. At this point I would need to either pay for it or max like crazy, which really you should be doing at the ages that I was in the early 2000s. But this is probably all cope I probably would've fucked it up even if I had attempted to get myself involved in that part of life and that mightve hurt more than not trying. But then again maybe that part is cope as well.

Yes, and it's also retarded because life is objectively better now than it was before the internet

by what standard? certainly not economically (in the west)

I think the internet was better in the 2000s, less corporatized and uniform, more akin to a Wild West open to experimentation. I would even argue slow download speeds were better, because they weren't any centralized streaming systems like Netflix and Spotify, it would teach patience and to prioritize what you were going to downloading, instead of accumulating more slop on top of slop in between two rows of doomscrolling.

its before the internet was all encompassing part of life, before machine algorithms and ai which could track you, and cameras with ai could track your movments in irl

>life is objectively better now than it was before the internet
I'd break your faggot nose if I heard that in real life. The way the internet has grown and been applied has only made us more atomized and dumber despite the amount of information we can access. Most people just exist in echo chambers. A socialist lead internet would have actually made things better. The internet is a burger military tool, just like the interstate highways are a military tool.
