I’m so sorry for your loss… (´;︵;`)
I don’t understand how a society with such advanced technology can be so ignorant.
Because the tech industry has invested heavily into the idea that what they do is nothing short of bestowing the magical gift of technology onto the common people who would never have a chance of understanding it if not for tech jesus himself who brought us closer to enlightenment by giving us the iphone. Massive but commonplace propaganda campaigns from the tech giants popularise this anti-intelectual framing, not coincidentally closely related to evangelical millenarianism.
Just how trump cosplays as a working class sympathiser, so did the nazis. They tapped into the popular sentiments at the time (socialism) and redirected them into blaming scapegoats (commies, disabled people, jews, gender and sexual minorities). It probably sounds quite familiar.
