Exactly. Same multi-national garbage you allude to is routinely regurgitated on evening news in US, Canada, and Japan - all the same message typically (anti-freedom, anti-free speech, anti-health, pro-state, pro-military, pro-pharma). I've never been subjected to evening news from much elsewhere but I imagine the mainstream news of any 'colony' of the Queen and/or US empire tows the line much the same way. But, you know - we're hackers so we are figuring out the solutions and working to implement them. For every meaningless social ego boosting app startup there is a real entrepreneur building something that will fight against this decadence and help civilization move forward into the brighter more prosperous era we deserve.
