"look how many plantations were actually cotton monoculture and get back to me before you have opinions about the Confederacy"
Yeah, that's not the same.
But so it sounds like you're full on anti-technology and anti-internet. I would genuinely love to know how you arrived at that decision. My Mom is sort of the same way, so it's intriguing to me how non-MAGA folks reach the same point.
I was a PM in Google's ad system for a decade.
I may be well be every bit as familiar as you (or more)with what datacenters were doing in 2016, and the business processes they supported. One of my most skilled coworkers had previously been at the NSA.
I quit for a reason.
