Strong claim with a stain of nuisance.

I would love to call it bs, because the mass internet is still relatively young and our society still has momentum in taming this medium.

On the other hand though, religion is much older than any medium and still alive and kicking and the enormous amplification by the internet to manipulate useful idiots to keep the status quo for our grande profiteurs is out of question.

The internet is usefull, not just for our information/nonsense/tribal addicted brains, i think, we won't overcome it either way.
