- therobots927 7mo agolooks like you ruffled some feathers with this one
- streetfighter64 7mo agoYeah, calling people "dogs" for pointing out that TFA is a hyperbolic (AI-written) screed without substance would ruffle some feathers. Edit: yes it is hyperbolic and ridiculous to suggest people will be "enslaved" because they don't have access to the internet. Do you realize that makes everybody who grew up in the 90s or earlier a "slave"?
- matheusmoreira 7mo agoNothing "hyperbolic" about the points made. If anything it's not nearly extreme enough. People have no idea how bad things really are.

- cvoss 7mo agoDogs are on to something! Tone matters in persuasion. A whole lot. If the author were interested in persuading (as I assume he must be, given his strongly held convictions) then he should consider his tone more carefully.
