The internet is always hailed as empowering the people but in reality what it did was make the powerful even more powerful and give a voice to people who should not have a voice.

You certainly will always be disappointed if you have such vague notions of who "should be" and "shouldn't be". You will at some point be shocked that leopards ate your face after advocating for unleashing face eating leopards upon people.

Who shouldn't have been given a platform: Terrorists, cartels, corrupt elites and government officials. These types of people only got stronger. Not every argument on the internet needs be responded to with snarky quips.
