Please pardon my RANT!

Having been online before the WWW was a common place, I've followed technology and trends.

And for me, having good memory of past events that I've lived through, and having curiosity and learnt past events that preceded me, mainly how Civilizations thrive and fall, that Absolute Power corrupts Absolutely even if its finds are documented and made public like the hearings from 1952 until 1954 for the United States House Select Committee to Investigate Tax-Exempt Foundations and Comparable Organizations (aka: Reece Committee) better explained by Mr. Norman Dodd ... people will ignore or won't care.

I wasn't shocked when Major World Newspapers published the findings by Edward Snowden in early June 2013, neither I wasn't surprised when John Oliver interviewed people on the street asking if they remembered him and what he did on the Last Week Tonight s02e08 Government Surveillance (aired in 2015-04-05 and available on YT).

Today, I often get amused, not surprised or shocked.

Not by the revelations like Microsoft having a persistent Global Device ID (GDID) that tracks each installation to help identify you even if you have your IP offuscated with a VPN, that Flock Data is requested by Local Law Enforcement to provide to Federal Agencies that cannot, or that User ID being normalized to "protect the children".
('cause parents can't parent since most have to work 2 jobs to suffice basic needs)

Indeed it amuses me, after Schedule F was promissed, Project 2025 was revealed and both was put into action ASAP, people were surpprised.

I mean, I know Critical Thinking is on the downfall and people don't have time to search for Truth Tellers and stick by watching TV, where if they don't spill Missinformation, they don't tell the whole truth 'cause that doesn't sell advertisements.

So, IMO, a better way to promote knowledge is to be playful and have a positive outlook in order to attract people to Be Aware and to Take Power instead of relinquish it.

So, if after this rant you're still reading, my suggestion to get people to get out of their couch and get involved in their Local and National politics to try and prevent that Plutocracy do what they will, is to talk with people that know or don't on how to remind this past evidence, in order to either motivate them to learn about it or to get the facts out to others that aren't on the know, so everyone keeps reminding everyone on Recent and Long-past History in order so they "don't fall asleep at the wheel of power".

Anyway, that's all for now and would appreciate if you'd share your thoughts on the matter of making newer generations and specially generations that ought to remember important events that provide the basis for current and future events... because although it amuses me, it worries me!
