well, we have pills to change gender, pills to talk to God, we can immediately reach out to most humans in the world without moving, and we have a lot of fascists to kill

That window has been closing since 2008. We interact with who we're supposed to interact with. The chances of me hearing the plight of a third world farmer directly from his mouth is slim to none.

Oh the proper channels are closing.

But the improper ones are opening more.

Heck, were seeing analysis of how US liberal media suppresses violence against Palestinians less than a year after in happened. During the cold war that would be ten years.

Periscope solved that quite well by showing a world map with everybody currently livestreaming. So you could just hop between countries and continents and see what others were doing. Wasn't profitable enough or something, so Twitter killed it.

Acsshually it's more likely that you're talking to a bot trying to pass as a human than a human. That's as punk as it gets.
