Everyone lived in tribes. Then people with writing wiped out their culture and way of life. With writing, leaders' messages could travel vast distances – exactly. Campfire tribes couldn't compete. Everything you knew changed when, say, Mayans emerged from the bush.
Then came broadcasting – the emotion in the human voice could reach millions at the exact same time. Pictures allowed more subtext. Speakers shined: Finest Hour, Day of Infamy, others. People went nuts. Only World War could happen. Fireside chat centralization meant Government could explode in size.
The Internet will make those changes look pale. It has made the all powerful broadcasting technologically obsolete. In Canada, it only survives with handouts from kids' debt, inflation taxes and traditional taxes.
Today, Broadcasters cling to power and relevance they will lose almost completely – bad news for big, centralized government proponents. Democratization means talent and message - not a government license or a printing press - will win the day. No Socialist government can survive without this advantage. Now is their last kick at the can. Total desperation - they'll do anything to survive.
Big government socialists can burn books, block signals and censor Internet platforms for a little while but not for long. The change is inevitable - as surely as the first idle printing press begat Protestantism - and the Internet was designed to be leaderless.
Everything will change: Money, Sub-nationals, Education and well, everything.
There should be chaos (ex. experimental jab passports for 99% survivable viruses) during humanity's third change but you can shorten it by simply asking your grandparents to stop watching (at least exclusively). This is your beach to storm! No need to save evidence for the new Nuremberg trials - named for justice brought to Government and Media for early broadcasting abuses - the Internet does that for you!
It will certainly be worth it if you can stop big government socialists from totally enslaving you in their debt as they desperately (and unsuccessfully) cling to power as broadcasting dies. You'll probably live the best - decentralized - life in centuries. Be yourself. Join your tribes.
