It really does seem that way.

The shifting of personal responsibility from the individual to the governments and corporations that exist to 'serve you' in some sort of hybridized federal/corporate merger.

When the majority learns from birth to completely trust the institutions (ran by the government) that have existed for decades/centuries before them, there's very little wiggle room to try and convince people that maybe they don't have your best interests in mind...

We'll see what happens when first-world governments can't reliably feed a majority of their citizens and when social media companies start putting "misinformation" tags on individual messages/status updates about people dying due to starvation.

Which generation? How /young/ are the decision-making Meta employees in your opinion? I’d wager none are below 30, and most are 40ish.
