    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.

            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.
