Yeah and there definitely hasn't been any advances in communication, education, coordination, or political understanding since the days of the wild west...
Expecting the state to be generally good through its monopoly of violence is what we're witnessing right now and have witnessed many, many times previously. And it has shown itself to not be.
Coordination requires a professional policing force. Trump's Gestapo has taken over cities and despite everyone having Internet connectivity on them at all times there has been no country wide general strike.
It's because of bad actors. Those same people are around all the time. It is bad because there are so few good people. Reducing the friction of the state apparatus only allows bad actors to be worse.
