IMO it's a logistics problem.

The wealthy own the Internet. 7/10 of the top websites on the entire Internet are owned by the same people at Trump's inauguration. The interest is no regulation so that they can keep pouring money into marketing tactics, ethical and unethical, for engagement. The bottom line is wealth, power, control.

Their websites are visited by Billions, daily. They control the narrative. That doesn't even get into news networks.

Education has been eroded for close to a century now.

Technology has grown far faster than we can keep up with.

AI is going to make information control, data gathering, and data compiling faster/easier.

How do you fight a beast this big? How can any other party get their message and their narrative out to the masses on par with the wealthy? How do you convince the ignorant of harmful things that they can neither believe nor fathom?

I truly have little hope for non-dystopian future.
