Real talk: I think the end goal of the internet has to be some kind of democratic world government. The only other option is corporate capture. I don’t know how it’ll work, I don’t know how to solve the problems of ensuring privacy and fair elections or fair distribution of resources or any of that stuff that would have to be solved for, but I think some sort of global, grassroots movement that enables self-governance from the neighborhood level all the way up to global concerns is needed to prevent us from sliding further into entrenched global plutocracy.
