Do you think the Creation of Major Platforms/Services is organic or constructed?

[QUOTE=ArbitraryWater;14948960]Good point but Google and Amazon couldnt exist if they were run by „rural“ white dudes? Haha how so? Bezos seems as normally white as anyone. Thats one instance of someone that doesnt seem to be all that liberal.

The reason those apps would birth libs is because the colleges are full of liberal propaganda.[/QUOTE]

I'm talking about upper management, the people that actually put it all together and make it run. Amazon and Google have to hire tech savvy individuals, and those would come from schools like MIT, Stanford, etc. And they would be mostly left leaning urban types.

In the past, a wealthy CEO could just hire his buddy or his nephew to manage a company. But today's companies can not do that any more. Business is much more complex now and people have to actually know a thing or two.


Left leaning individuals are mostly white collar urban college types, and right leaning individuals are mostly blue collar rural types, which don't fit well in modern tech based times.

[QUOTE=ArbitraryWater;14948959]Here‘s your problem: grammar. Its „your“.

Anyway, why are you declaring these things like you have any idea wjat you‘re talking about?


Its not „certain right wing politics“, its going against the machine on any set narrative, such as disagreeing with a vaccine.

These mediums have become completely weaponized by lw politics.


Its not the other way around.


Its mass censorship. There‘s no pretty wording around it.[/QUOTE]

If you correct someone on grammar atleast use it's and its correctly.

Irrelevant and also that button doesnt work on my laptop anymore lol

L'il Arby is too dim to get that Overdrive is telling him that corporations can't be left wing. Pretty basic stuff for anyone who's done the least bit of research on political history.

at least

It's organic at first, but then becomes completely corrupted as everybody starts buying each other off and colluding as the ladder gets climbed.

Google and amazon would have happened regardless. They were not as much pioneers as what rose to the top.

There was bound to be a monopoly marketplace and search engine.

Social media is different because even though it fills a need, they did some pretty creative stuff. Pictures, vids… i didn’t think people would actually do twitter.

Hella not organic ever.

If federal reserve notes funded it?

NOT ORGANIC.

You really have idiots on here who believe these social media platforms which are built on completely fictitious capital and fake paper fiat money are organic?

You can’t make this shit up.

you think we live in a real world? we live in a simulation :yaohappy:

It can only be organic because no one can force the public to spend all of their money anywhere. Amazon, Microsoft, and everyone else gets our money because of their products and service.

Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc. No one can force all of society to frequent these platforms.



And let's say Twitter isn't organic. So what happened there? There was a hidden secret agenda to create a left leaning platform and then they just said to hell with it and sold it off to Musk? Makes no sense. The entire ordeal is clearly organic. Musk didn't even want his offer to go through after second thought.

I worry about DOJ's intention of breaking up Google. IMO, USA MUST win the AI war (militarily and economically) - bigger companies (with deeper pockets) have the resources to invest in Research & Development (like Bell Labs back in the day). The irony is that yes, Google Search is basically a monopoly but the approaching AI from OpenAI/ChatGPT will severely bite into what people use - the latter might be just a tad bit too late to affect Google's (current) search monopoly.

The left seems to want to bring down BIG companies. The right is more concerned about censorship/bias.

This was all gleaned from watching All In podcast.

IMO, not because of changing mind about original intent/purpose but because the entire market tanked and he was locked into the OLD value of Twitter.

When things become a monopoly and the top companies buy up all the competition it loses its organic value and sets the table for tons of market inefficiencies. If there's no competition people don't have much of a choice in their consumption.

Well that is just a semantics debate over what "organic" means. One could say a monopoly is an organic result. We don't really have any true monopolies in the US though. There are lots of places to purchases things online, and lots of different social media apps.

And the way that monopolies harm society is that they can charge high prices since they are the only option. But Amazon has captured the population specifically because it has the lowest prices out there. It is the exact thing that capitalism aims to do organically through supply and demand.
