Comment on I wonder why the widespread adoption of the internet hasn't been good for society as a whole.

I grew up pretty certain in the ideas that AIDs was gay cancer, Boy George was straight, Marilyn Manson had a rib removed to perform auto fellatio, Mother Theresa was the very idea of kindness, a girl couldn’t get pregnant if she sucked on you after cumming in her, and that jet fuel could melt steel beams.
(Some of those I only half-believed and maybe not all the best examples)

It’s marketed capitalistic abuse and rape of a technology, just like what happened to everything good that humans make.
