It cracks me up when statists complain about the ideas of liberty being spread on the internet, because, in their minds, the State "gave us the internet", so we should be grateful and never put a disparaging word about "government" online.
Except that they're wrong about this, too.
Government didn't create the internet. Some government goons told some techies what they wanted in a robust communications tool, and those people created the internet. Much to the consternation of every government thug since the day they realized what had sprung into being was something they didn't control.
And, the internet wasn't even useful until it escaped into the wild. If government employees were still keeping it only for themselves, it would be nothing more than a filing cabinet full of dead roaches.
