MODERATORS
We all need more politicians with a tech background. We need populations that better understand tech and vote better.
20y ago I used to hope tech ignorance would age out the population, but that's not been happening. Most people don't care to learn more. So politicians need to be less clueless and lead.
I don't think it's lack of tech savvyness that lead to this. The UK government are trying to set up a fascist state. Increased surveillance, outlawing protest, scapegoating immigrants... we're even setting up concentration camps in Rwanda to send asylum seekers and migrants to.
It's really getting bad here.
I think there is elements of this. But I also think there is just plain ignorance.
