Despite the very real, observable harm that the Internet has done to the world, this is one thing that I think is good about it. Millennials and late gen x grew up with the Internet and the full availability of history and current events. Did everyone use it for that? Fuck no. But some of their friends did. And they talked about it.

For the first time, most people in a young generation were exposed to the very real horrors of the world and why they happened. The answer is always, “one group wanted power over another” for various reasons. But that desire, wanting power over others, is a very right wing idea. So the effect is a shying away from the thing that has been burning us for literally ever.
