The internet promised open markets, delivered rigged ones, then fake ones, then outright monopolies

I like this, though it’s important to remember that this force isn’t what “spins out little globe”. That’s just a fantasy of the Mugabes, Trumps, Kim Jongs, etc (as you say), that somehow they are very important. It’s actually compassion, community, and sense of purpose that keep things running. The envy is a leech slowing things down.
