I agree with you. I will read Jacques Ellul today. Thank you for the recommendation.
You may want to check out Timothy Snyder (both his books and YouTube discussions). He talked about Big Tech in creative ways, like how to deal with it.
I am personally American and Croatian by citizenship, but I am culturally American. I live in Croatia and I am enjoying it. Social media is evil (in my opinion) but it is toned down here in Europe, which we are lucky. But, I am so worried about America.
- DyslexicAtheist 6y agoappreciate the suggestion and I'm also going to look into it. I too live in Zagreb and work mostly for US companies. Perhaps we'll one day bump into each other at Tkalčićeva when they let us out again. Everything you say about the situation being very critical/worrisome in the US is true IMO. What I see as a problem is how smaller less powerful places here in Europe ideologically appropriate the problems of those they are "ruled by" and look up to. As a kid I spent some years in Austria and every time there were news about something happening in Germany the same things got debated as being a problem in Austria to the point where it was ridiculous. Like a strange me-too complex (it comes in many shapes and sizes often justified but also sometimes not). I see this as a huge problem since much of what is an issue in the US isn't one over here etc.
- disabled 6y agoHey, it's a small world! I hope to see you sometime at Tkalčićeva :-) Oh yeah, I agree with you on the "me-too" complex. It's toxic and harmful and it feeds into populism too.
