> His assertion that lords and peasant system needs to be dismantled is absolutely correct, however.

But what if the entire business model was/is actually a lord and peasant system. Whereby lords can, while verified and identified as lords, communicate with the masses of pesants without any other gatekeepers.

The peasants having their chit chat on the side isnt the point, that is the noise and the lords are the signal.

The damaging stuff isn't idle chitchat. Much of it is orchestrated by people who want to manipulate the gullible to their political advantage.

If all the pesants are saying it, nobody gives a shit.

If all the blue checkmarks are saying it, people give a shit.

You cant tell the difference anymore.
