>Meh, the pendulum will swing the other way sooner or later, it always does.
Can you name a single political wing right now that doesn't want massive ID laws, a stranglehold over payment processors, and sweeping regulation of every industry to ban and censor foreign media?
I'm serious.
Name the political party.
Right now we have Republicans in the states doing 1:1 the exact same thing as Labour in the UK. Both of them instituting driver's license requirements to use a computer. Both of them banning video games. Both of them stating outright that the final say about what you get to buy or sell in this "Free market" economy is a privilege that lies squarely with credit card companies when you may not even own a credit card.
This isn't something that just "Goes away". Or has a pendulum "fix it". This is a systemic problem that goes back to our monetary and market system being fundamentally broken where a few bad actors can act as kings and nobody stops them. Nobody voted for this. Nobody gets to vote for the CEO of Steam, Microsoft, NIntendo, or Sony. Yet they get to tell you each and every thing you're allowed to buy. And if you try to protest that, your real ID is associated with every single device connected to the internet.
No tyrannical system ever fixed itself because you asked or patiently waited.
