Savonarole in Firenze was probably in that exact state of mind: that the world was not following at all its normal pace and something very wrong was happening. But the decisions he took were absolutely wrong and eventually he had to be stopped.

So depending on your current mindset, you can think that the tech bigs are the Médicis, and the frantic opponents are new-age Savonarole.

Or that the big techs ARE actually Savonarole who bend the system to their own perception of what the world should be.

Honestly I don’t know which analogy is the proper one.
