@pluralistic Cory also argues, in other posts, that an open internet isn't the single defining issue of our time. But if we lose it, we lose our ability to fight the many other problems we face. Which I think is entirely consistent with Naomi Klein's (I think, and doubtless others) position that all struggle for justice is rooted in climate action. (or maybe it was the other way around). The oligarchs are counting on us acting as individuals whose only agency is choosing what to buy. And failing that, that they can partition our resistance into silos of limited scope (and ideally opposing goals): surveillance capitalism, racial equity, gender equity, climate action.
