Only that it's not the governments falling to facism, but the voters. Manipulated by propaganda on a unheard-before level... via the web

It's not the rights getting somehow magically lost. It's a push by lobbyists wanting to have more control over their workers/clients/customers/whatever amd who pay millions on pushing false narratives and propaganda... via the web

Late-stage capitalism: Same, same...

But the web getting exploited to spread narratives and manipulating people on a scale never before possible is of course totally unrelated to the situation right now. 🤡
