The world is on fire, fascism is on the rise, war is everywhere, prices are out of control, the future looks bleak as fuck, but yeah we have tictok… Woohoo…

Whenever I hear about “but we have such and such technologies that we didn’t have in the olden times you so fondly mention” as if we deride the technological marvels as the cause of current worse times. We could simply had most, if not all, of these technological improvements on top of 90s movie styles, games quality, face to face conversations, outside activities, etc. had we not taken to radicalization of every thought via mass media plus manipulated social media. One major tenable improvement besides the mostly-unrelated technological improvements that we have over 90s is the more equal rights for a lot of gender varieties and equal rights for women, and that is just about it. We have almost regressed on a lot more societal aspects all over the word, including, and sometimes more prominently, in the first world countries.
These kind of takes can be on the extreme so as to attribute all these technological improvements to a person/party. In Turkey, we have these old conservatives that attribute smartphones, relative food abundance, computers, car abundance, restaurants to Erdoğan’s reign, and arguing we wouldn’t be having these otherwise. I feel the same energy from these types of comments.
