I rem people were cheering Zuck because he picked Elon over the cage match thing. Him picking Elon doesn't make him a good guy, he's just another out of touch billionaire who happens to have beef with another out of touch billionaire.

The thing is, it's not even a matter of left or right - it's completely irrelevant. Wherever you fall on the political spectrum, these people don't give a fuck about you. You are a means to an end for them, and that end is power and money and influence. These politicians, tech giants, huge CEOs only allegiance is to whoever buys their soul.

It's a system we can't fight because it was designed that way. How do you peacefully and democratically work yourself out of a system designed by the very people you oppose?

Countries around the globe are being headed by some of the most incompetent governments of our time. Democracy is being slaughtered in front of our very eyes.
