Re:Is the Internet to Blame for the Rise of Authoritarianism? by myrryr on Sunday December 09, 2018 @05:39PM (#18643766)
Crazy amounts of authoritarianism happened in Russia, China, Germany and the US, pre internet.

It went badly in all those places, but there have been a couple of generations and people need to relearn the same lessions.

I don't think the 'net was responsible then, and I don't think it is now. It's a thing which happens when we forget how bad it was.
