He said that in the same tweet that he announced the US attacked Iran.
Yes, but in order to properly learn our lesson to prevent this from happening again, we need to call out the root of the problem instead of/in addition to the tools or symptoms.
It wasn't before already?
The Heritage Foundation was founded in 1973, which just so happens to be the dividing line in this graph.
Reagan was the first president that really allowed the Heritage Foundation to go wild.
There's a good video about their history here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8eeCPRD0Hgg

The arcade was the original version. There's also a really good modern port on the Commodore 64 with a banging soundtrack called "Ghosts n Goblins Arcade"
Or if he actually likes tan suits.
Popcorn is just a method of eating butter or other oil-based flavours.
The "bigger systems" pre-corporate internet (and somewhat in the transition) were sometimes fairly large forums dedicated to one niche (sometimes multiple, but in the same general field). Once Reddit specifically came along after YouTube/Google laid the groundwork for the corporatization of the Internet, it centralized basically every forum to one website. Now even today, forums still exist, but it's nowhere near what they once were.
That's also not to mention sites like Geocities allowing basically everyone to have their own website (which of course, is another version of centralization, but with much more control given to its users).
And it's not like corporations didn't try to take control of the internet before 2005/2006. Just look at AOL in the 90s for a prime example, along with Flash, ActiveX/Internet Explorer, Quicktime/Realplayer browser plugins for video, etc.
Without capitalism, we would still see the internet grow, as even in the late 90s, it felt as if you were being left behind in society if you didn't have an internet connection, but the way in which it grew would look much more akin to how it looked in the 90s and early 2000s.
The internet sure was far from perfect back then, but it was ours'.
