Though this is all motivated by capitalistic expansion, it's also worth noting that liberals have been trying to eliminate the dissent facilitated through online activism and information campaigns for a few years now. Ownership over our PCs means that there can always be an internet operated and monitored by us.
edit: Pretty sure some of you don't know what liberalism is.
I can't believe we in a place where that needs to be said.
You gotta pay more attention then. Many of us have expected this for nine years, some sixty years.
Sixty? Impossible. No one could have predicted all this 60 years ago.
My guy, I hate to break this to you, people were making these criticisms of capitalism over 150 years ago. I was referring to Black Liberationist critiques of privatized media expansion in the mid-twentieth-century US, but liberal/capitalist ownership over media and space that can be used to challenge this sytem has been a fundamental mechanism in its reproduction for much, much longer.
