We have to be careful that once authoritarian rule is established globally we won't really be able to get out of it. Right now, using social media to make that happen seems to be extremely effective and because democracies believe in the idea of "free speech at all costs" we really have nothing to stop this.

The answer was probably better education which needed to start 20 years ago in order to counter this but we didn't do it and now we really have no answers but to elect every puppet they push.
