Facebook is the Walmart of the internet.
I love everything that it is, everything that has happened to it, everything that will happen. IRC morphed into Geocities, which morphed into Six Degrees, which morphed into MySpace, which morphed into Facebook, which morphed into a multiverse of voyeuristic bliss.
A landscape of VSCO girls, single mothers teaching their babies how to smoke pot, mass murders, your relatives' opinions, or MIT lectures. All a scroll away.
I'm worried about Facebook though. Mark Zuckerburg has been having conservatives over to his house to talk about how to not break up the monopoly that is Facebook. Not Facebook the site, mind you, Facebook the company, that owns Instagram, Whatsapp, and a bunch of other companies that all do pretty much the same thing.
People are reacting to the news that the CEO of a social media company hangs out with conservatives like it is some kind of surprise. Most internet CEO's are either libertarian-leaning (I'm talking Mike Jacksons smooth criminal leaning) or dildo in the butt-conservative. Did we not all know this? Oh, people must have thought because of all that "the internet is the new frontier of freedom" stuff that it must be a total democrat hug-fest. No.
It's literally the same people from Berkshire-Hathaway cept they might have a full sleeve, play Civilization, and listen to Portishead. But Portishead is dope, so I get it.
Also, apparently poor people didn't get the memo that rich and powerful people network with rich and powerful people. This mixer, that radio show, the green room of that late-night talk show host, the club. It's just another job.
I won't go as far as to say they like each other, even though they say it. I think what broke niggas get tripped up on is that rich and influential people will often support causes and then cavort with people who create the problems. This is called networking.
Please stop hoping your heroes are gonna go off-script. Looking at you, HK.
