The second richest man on earth is about to be a major owner of TikTok.

The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.

See the problem here?

    Whenever I try to sit down and explain some of these nuances to family members/coworkers/… they almost all default to “yeah, but what about all those foreigners though”. It’s a fucking record stuck on repeat. All pretense of logical thought has left these people, and I’ve given up on trying to kindle that spark in anyone else.
