I don’t think this is LLM written but unfortunately it heavily employs the “it’s not X, it’s Y” that is now so ubiquitous. Unfortunately very hard to read because of it. Overall I agree with the premise.
If you're just going to dismiss someone pointing out that something isn't only what it appears to be on a surface level (the intent behind the semantics of "It isn't X, it is Y," as AI to be ignored; how exactly do you intend to maintain any depth to your own perception of the world? The world is filled with things that appear to be one thing at first blush, but end up being something else at further scrutiny. In point of fact, most evil cloaks itself in the trappings of things we consider good, and only have their evil show once you tear them down and figure out how they really work.

Don't know about that but half my family lives in Japan since decades while I'm in Europe.
The Internet certainly connected me to my family (I remember exchaning snail mail and then using fax machines... Home Internet connection was a godsend to us back then in the 90s and still is).
That tone is useless if you're trying to convince someone who disagrees with you to change their mind.
I don't think that's the point though. The point is to get the attention of someone who already agrees with you. You thought it was bad? Let me tell you how it's even worse! You thought it was good? Let me tell you how it's amazing!
Honestly I like it well enough myself though I get annoyed when the people writing in this style drift into trying to make the argument of the opposing view in order to disagree with it. When I know a small amount of that opposing viewpoint and I hear it described so poorly... it can take me out of the moment.

It's not "feudalism", it's just capitalism. Everything will be commodified in the end including your feelings and thoughts.

No one says they dislike roads because there are asshole drivers.
