I do disagree on the statement that the powers that be want us to fall back into the dark ages of authority and control, social media, smartphones, store cards ect,I believe lead the masses blind into authority and control in a perverse way as now instead of them demanding to know what we are doing we just give htem all that information without a care in the world.
Yeah, that's pretty much what I meant. Decentralization promises true freedom in the absence of government authority and control, and the powers that be want to keep us from reaching that zenith by any means possible. One of the means they are using is coopting the new technology to enhance their ability to control the population...new era, new tech, same m.o.
