Technology is simply a technique to leverage and extend human desire. It's a tool. It's in the hands of those who control and use it.

You shouldn't blame technology. You should blame the maniacs that have latched on to it as a way of extending their power. You should blame the government for their failures of regulation. You should blame the media for failing to cover this obvious problem.

The people who want to subjugate you are the problem.

		I named three specific groups. You can easily find the bad actors within these groups. There is no "them." There is a highly identifiable set of individuals that take actions which cause major problems in our society. On this there is absolutely no question. In fact there is even good social consensus as to who these people are. I get that hacker news would rather avoid inconvenient issues or simply satirize them but I take absolutely no care of this.
