@requeteche @scriptkiddie Both sides of the coin - the United States of America is probably the ultimate example of how ruthless a society can get, if money is the only thing worth pursuing, while the former USSR was the insanely corrupt poster child for the original communist society. In both cases most people was thrown under the bus by either billionaires with a bunch of politicians in tow, or power hungry politicians who would throw dissidents and political opponents in the deepest jail cell available or simply "disappear" them for good.Were there good people in both societies? - yes. Were they able to hold on to power long enough to prevent a deep corruption of their society? - clearly not.You're right that this is not something new per se, but the way modern communication works makes it so much easier for the ideals, the concepts to get in front of a much, much larger audience than ever before - and with much more impact, not least because of the sophisticated way the communication can be done. It's getting harder and harder to spot AI generated content that is designed to manipulate and persuade in ways the world has never seen before. Yes, we had manipulated photos, audio, and later video, but the tools for creating manipulative content has never been this widely available to ruthless people.
