This is the money quote. Absolutely why he is feasting with Nazis. They are good for business.

You may want to check your use of double negatives in the fourth paragraph. You ended up saying the opposite of what you intended.

dinners where he can hear from “lots of people across the spectrum on lots of different issues all the time.”
So, in other words, “fascists and white supremacists deserve my time and attention, too”. Zuckerberg’s parents and extended family must be so proud.
Same as it ever was when it comes to ultra-wealthy businessmen devoid of ethics and morals.

Exactly. Cui bono? The right forms a symbiotic relationship with social media, feeding advertising eyeballs to the platform in exchange for the guise of legitimacy while getting their message out. It’s the same reason Reddit is loath to ban far right communities.

Ah, but you are confusing facts (i.e. Leftist propaganda) with opinions (i.e. Rightist unassailable God-given truths). This is a common error of those enmeshed in the fact-based community. I prescribe 3-4 hours of Fox News daily. That should wipe any affection for facts from your system. (/s, just to be safe)

You’re confusing a good overall economy with good for his ends and desires. At this point no amount of economic health in the system particularly matters for him (shy of complete global economic collapse). Power and control are the currency that matters to him right now and deregulation provides that.

But big picture, sustainable business for Facebook involves a thriving economy. FB makes money from advertising. Companies need to have money to spend on advertising for FB to see advertising revenue.
FB’s only negative growth quarters were during the post-crisis recovery.

The right, the further right, the far right, the very edge of the longest flight feather when fully stretched out to the right…
Clearly a spectrum.

Feeling conflicted. Clearly unbalanced input only from far right creeps.
OTOH - the far right creeps had to sit through it.

Off-topic, but I’m getting an inordinate number of spammy pop-ups when trying to read this article (on my phone, using Chrome). This isn’t something I’d expect from this site.
Switch to Brave.
