It was the rise of information sharing that finally ended the Cold War. I would argue that inherently unfair closed internets will lead to a modern "hot war." Because when you get trapped in bubbles of positive feedback loops, with only your own propaganda being spun up like hyperdrives, you can't ameliorate extremist views with actual realities.
