I read some shitty article a while ago that was lamenting the antisemitism on a school campus from “both sides”. They gave examples, like the left wing students hung a sign outside a minority support group that said something like “no zionists” and the right wing example was some kid arrested for trying to literally murder someone because they looked Jewish (but weren’t).
The standards for what counts as antisemitism to these fucks are a complete joke and not remotely the same for “both sides”.
Yeah, that’s a pretty decent analogy. It was a wild time, and my fondness is probably tainted by nostalgia, but I’d trade our current internet for it in a second.
I mean, I’m not saying 90s internet didn’t have any of that, but I wouldn’t have described it as “overrun”. Seemed to me, as a child, like most of it was just companies getting an online presence for their existing business to try and be part of wave.
ISPs have always sucked, though.
Fast internet is nice, but what if it wasn’t a corporatized nightmare overrun with money-chasing investor-backed start-ups and giant monocorps trying to monetize and exploit every single inch of it?
Sounds like a real cool guy who shouldn’t be flensed and left to bake in the sun.
