the existence of the whole fucking thing
we'd all have jobs, houses, a wife, and family

People were fucked before they began using the internet.

Nah, I don't know what I'd do if I couldn't shitpost on the internet.
This desu. Instead of shitposting here we'd be renting videos from behind the curtain, writing into video game magazines, and watching cable TV all day.

well, I have a good job and a girlfriend and I still come to /pol/ it's my favorite place to vent. I don't know if you're younger than me but 4chan reminds me of the way the internet used to be

It is not like you can prevent it.
yes, but the biggest one was 4chan and all anonymous sites.
You like to attack facebook but the reality is anonymity promotes degeneracy in a far more insidious manner. Real-ID internet would actually be a good thing if implemented correctly. Internet must be treated as PUBLIC like the streets, NOT private (allowing for all manner of filth)

I'd say for what you say you would need to go back further, before electricity and large scale industrialization for that to be completely true.
Internet is the final stage of a process that started a century or more ago
