internet guy read this and was like yes see everyone the cyberlibertarians want a corporate dystopia

This suggests that in the age of global communications we will have to become more judicious about where and how we make purchases. In the interest of sustaining living communities, it makes sense to avoid Internet net commerce altogether when there are reasonable, local sources of supply. This is not only a question of altruism, but of self-interest broadly informed. The short term advantage of sending to a computer data bank in Seattle for a bargain priced book to be read thousands of miles away makes no sense if the action contributes to a depleted economy down the street, undermining the integrity of community life. Yes, we should use every Internet resource to explore the market and make intelligent comparisons. But when it comes to casting "dollar votes," the money is often better spent closer to home, in a neighborhood where people actually live rather than the neverhood of digital bits.
