I was trying (and failed) in using irony to point out that there have never been and will never be an Internet revolution. Things will stay the same, despite -- or in my opinion to a certain extent because -- of the Internet. The Internet freedom utopist should face the fact and instead try to see how the Internet we have today can be utilized.
