Let's be very clear here: in no small part the blame for what happened today lies with surveillance capitalism.

It is profitable to put right-wing/fascist/conspiratorial content in front of more eyeballs, since it generates more "engagement". So Facebook, YouTube and others became perfect channels for this kind of crap.

Big Tech made money on this, for them today's insurrection is an "externality".
