They tried to claim that tools were inherently good/bad,

That future may be coming, after all most of the world has
some form of internet, gets pissed without it, and is not likely

always beginning and ending in the streets, protests,
battles, shots, etc.

The oppressed enslaved stolen from murdered and forcefully

shame they are begging to install the same thing over
their heads as what they wish to escape.
