Would it make all of the Left vs Right bullshit get better, or get worse?

Internet was out at my house the other night. I actually had to spend time with the family.
Turns out they're actually really cool people. |

It would get a lot better. The lefts biggest platform is media.
However, you need TV to go away with that also. |
|
The birth rate would go up. NBC, CBS and ABC stock would go up. Apple would go out of business. Shotgun News would make a comeback.

It would mean a 100% collapse of society. After that, left or right will not matter. It will be all about survival...

Worse imo. Without the internet the MSM would have virtually uncontested control over what news people see and hear.
|
|
Stock market would crash
No forms of media that actually tell the truth, it would be MSM brainwashing people It would suck |

If George Washington had the internet, we would all be speaking the king's english.

Assuming it somehow didn't cripple the economy and lead to armageddon, I'd be thrilled. I miss life before everyone was glued to their smartphones.
However, the suicide rate among millineals would spike dramatically as they no longer had a platform to share the selfies and pics that they use to validate themselves with. If the internet and TV went out, it'd probably lean left assuming people give a shit about newspapers. |

Half of GD would have a coronary walking to the front door. The other half that made it would sit on their front porch and snipe people from a mile away because shooting and moving isn't important!

Smut magazine stock prices would go through the roof! So would adult movie rentals and adult arcades.

Fucking worse without the internet.
if you think the truth gets any traction on the MSM you're a fucking idiot. The Internet is the last bastion of free speech, no matter how hard the likes of Google or facecrook try, the more they clamp down, the more opertunity they create for their replacement. You just can't stop kekistani shit lords from /pol, R_the donald and other sites, more and more Internet dwellers are being seriously red pilled since gamergate, and they're only becoming more aware of leftist lunacy thanks to the media's actions during the election, Berkeley, the WSJ vs pewdiepie Oh and HWNDU. The old media empire is falling apart, the next is getting its news from much more indipendant sources. Take away the Internet for two years is giving the MSM it's recently lost monopoly back for that time. |

Service industry folks (home and auto repair) would get a lot more business.
It's nice being able to look up on YouTube how to diagnose that slow toilet leak or how to fix a stuck vent door on a car. |

People will think this is a joke post.
The internet is an information superhighway. It would be as if Americans lost 30 IQ points overnight. The ability to find out anything, get anything, or see anything, instantly, at your fingertips, has fundamentally shaped the culture of the nation across all age groups. We are addicted to information. There is no going back from that long term. War or large scale riots. Several industries would collapse overnight - fueling an economic crash. Many places would suddenly not have necessary supplies either, because the internet is how communications are managed in this country for millions (VoIP, goods and services ordering). If the internet suddenly stopped working, America would be on it's knees. Most people today simply don't know how to function without it. It would be like taking electricity away 30 years ago. |

Lets get rid of all electronics. No internet, no TV, no radio, nothing. People might actually go outside and get back in shape. People might interact with each other and become normal again. I think we could all use a good unplugging and get back to normal. But of course this will never happen without some crazy nuclear war.
