> Internet anarchists getting excited about the prospect of forking the Internet feels a lot like when a lot of preppies got excited about the potential breakdown of society when Covid hit. > “Finally I can put all my skills to the test, which people have been teasing me about for so long.”

Veering offtopic a little, but your comment reminded me, hilariously, that after Stay-At-Home was mandated, my older, "prepper" friends and acquaintances were generally the first to crack and start complaining on Facebook about unfair it was that they were expected to just stay home in their bunkers and not go to bars and shop for their khakis. So much for the rugged self-reliance they loved to crow about!

I can imagine the Internet Anarchists behaving the same way. They'll be, in reality, the first to sign up for the AmazoGoogoMetaAppleInternet so they can keep posting to Social Media and doing their online shopping.

Veering off topic to culture war nonsense. Nice!

The important thing is you feel smug.

Culture war? All I'm saying is that Self-Professed Group-X often turns out to be the least-X of them all.

I'm absolutely willing to believe that it wasn't intentional, but you essentially said that being anti-lockdown means that you're weak, right? Regardless of whether that's a true statement, it definitely reads like a culture war sneer.
