This will continue until someone finds a way to reconcile the two major groups who currently call themselves Democrats: the not-very-left centrist and the very-left social-progressive. (My terms for simplicity)

Through network effects, Facebook, Google, and friends have created a centralized version of the Internet, only accessible through them.

We’re in a situation where companies have managed to embed themselves so far into society, that they’re acting like providers of social services.
