Arab Spring veterans eloquently lament over how things turned out.

*This is what WIRED writers would sound like – if it turned out that digital media was the road to ruin. "How were we to know that wired technology would destroy journalism, leading to political domination by echo-chamber demagogues? Who ever knew that the normal people were so weak and gullible? I thought I was liberating them, not condemning them to a living hell! Sure, I'm alone and suffering in the wilderness now, sure, but maybe a better computer and more bandwidth will turn things around some day!"
