One of the first industries currently being disrupted by the Internet was societal governance. We see it happening more slowly than any other industry because the "Governmental clock" ticks much more slowly than any other industry.



As much I agree with the reddit mob sometime, I do not want the country to be ruled by a reddit mob, never mind any other mob.


No doubt, but doing nothing while mobs are already ruling the country is not much of an option either.


Also it has guns.

Of course if bitcoin and freenet became the way to interact and do financial transactions over the internet then those guns will be all but ineffective at anything.


All the govt would have to do is shut off the internet via the telcos and backbones. They don't need the internet, we do.


No the businesses which contribute to the campaign funds do.
