RE: How I Met Toni 🇬🇧 Join "People We Met While Traveling" Contest in Steem-Travelers!
The world has changed with the pandemic.
And if there was no Internet? How would we communicate and work without him then?
If there was no internet additionally to the pandemic? I think, then, people would start doing strange things. Much violence. Because, nowadays, internet is an opium for the people :) Internet soothes and entertains. People spend all their extra money in mobiles. If you steal from them one social media, you should give them another one. But internet must go on.
I think some sort of blind energy would push people to collect into mobs against anything - against the government, against national minorities, against the rich, etc - no matter. At some moment, the rulers of Russia would consider it is smarter to be a leader of people's mood (to avoid being a victim) and, then, they would start a war against some neighbour (just to flush down the anger) or would active search for an inner enemy (including pogroms and stuff), high-profile public scandals, the resumption of the death penalty. To flush people's anger down the toilet.
In my opinion. Maybe I am wrong ... But who can know the exact answer for such a question? :)
I totally agree with you.
But the authorities are afraid of the Internet. Constant talk about prohibitions. And if you close YouTube and Instagram? I think that not only young people but also old people will be dissatisfied with this.
I don't know. I guess nothing serious will happen in case YouTube and Instagram would be banned. Several hundreds of mostly very young people would be arrested here and there - protesters. Many people would find ways to still use Youtube and IG. Many people would find entertainment on rutube, vk.com, telegram.
Maybe I am wrong. Ultimately, nobody can predict.
I think poverty will make people upset. But we have an example of Belarus.
No idea what will happen :) Probably, a big collapse in 2 or 10 years or 50. ) Or maybe a new Khrushchev will appear. Or Gorbachev :) Who knows :)
