And he is right. Class warfare has been raging for decades as a few old white sacks of shit accumulated soft power like nobodies business, accumulating vast amounts of money in the process of controlling all of the media. The internet was a threat for a hot second until the capitalist "Elite" consolidated that into a few companies controlling everything as well.

The fediverse is so crucially important, people really don't realize it.
