You get a much more usable framework if you drop the idea that there is some "pure" tech or innovation that politics are a corruption of and instead realize that technology and innovation are always political. Politics were there from the beginning, but they may have been invisible to you in a previous era.
Understanding how that could be and articulating what the politics were before is key to deciding what to do about the changes now.

It was easier to keep your head in the sand with "libertarian-esque" ideas (at least for me), but as those ideas came to fruition and social media exposed the thoughts of the people behind the money, the reality of the situation became easier to see.
