We started a trade war with these people because the president, who has some sort of degenerative brain disease with visible bruises on his hand's injection site that the press doesn't talk about, was bored.

Naomi Klein spends a lot of time in "Doppelganger" exploring this phenomenon and has a lot of interesting observations about it, but it really boils down to "people gravitate toward whoever is nice to them."

just for fun, here are excerpts from Zuck's letter about the metaverse in 2021 including hits like: all your objects will be holograms, we gotta support NFTs, and, actually verbatim, "Our hope is that within the next decade, the metaverse will reach a billion people" about.fb.com/news/2021/10...
The next platform will be even more immersive - an embodied internet where you're in the experience, not just looking at it. We call this the metaverse, and it will touch every product we build.

The defining quality of the metaverse will be a feeling of presence - like you are right there with another person or in another place. Feeling truly present with another person is the ultimate dream of social technology. That is why we are focused on building this.In this future, you will be able to teleport instantly as a hologram to be at the office without a commute, at a concert with friends, or in your parents' living room to catch up. This will open up more opportunity no matter where you live. You'll be able to spend more time on what matters to you, cut down time in traffic, and reduce your carbon footprint.

Think about how many physical things you have today that could just be holograms in the future. Your TV, your perfect work setup with multiple monitors, your board games and more - instead of physical things assembled in factories, they'll be holograms designed by creators around the world.Privacy and safety need to be built into the metaverse from day one. So do open standards and interoperability. This will require not just novel technical work - like supporting crypto and NFT projects in the community - but also new forms of governance. Most of all, we need to help build ecosystems so that more people have a stake in the future and can benefit not just as consumers but as creators.Our hope is that within the next decade, the metaverse will reach a billion people, host hundreds of billions of dollars of digital commerce, and support jobs for millions of creators and developers.

Not only did they absolutely beg for this, they made it so that “merit” was synonymous with being white so now you’re stuck with precisely the kind of moron who believes that. www.politico.com/news/magazin...
Everyone knows what the problem is: The organizations that bring young staffers to Washington, D.C. have spent the last decade prioritizing blind ideological loyalty instead of competence or intelligence,” said a senior GOP congressional staffer, granted anonymity to discuss sensitive personnel issues. “We have a generation of rabid, incompetent idiots.”

I've been through so many platform enshittification cycles now that it no longer seems worth it to meaningfully participate in *any* online social medium. Always feels like just a matter of time before EvilCorp swoops in to fuck it up.
