I had the same reaction. But apparently it does. I guess because they realized there is no real alternative to youtube.

As a foreigner it is difficult to differentiate between them or rather: if the country as whole is politically mainly represented by these things there is not much a foreigner can do instead of being anti american.

Yeah but still I rather use a company like spotify than companies from a fascist country. And spotify replaced youtube for me which I lately mainly used to watch veritasium which is now also available on spotify (even without the in-video ads).

You can even call him fascist

1. I think fighting billionaires in their wallets is the exact wrong way because they have so much money it doesn't even affect their personal life when they lose 90% or more of their wealth.

2. Musk already is in a position of power which no money of the world can (or maybe should) buy you. So even if he loses all his money he will still have that power and continue to abuse it.

Do you know about the personality of each companies CEO you buy something from?

Not everyone follows social media or the news like you. And not everyone bases their buying decisions on the personality of the company's CEO. I think most people don't. And probably most CEOs are douchebags

Your source does not support your claim at all. Seems like you are projecting your scientific illiteracy onto Jung.

Be the spoon my friend

The quote of Asimov is on point. As a non-American, I remember rewatching "Friends" after Trump came into office and suddenly noticed this subliminal anti-intellectualism even in this rather progressive left leaning TV show: Ross is often ridiculed as boring or arrogant when he talks about science or just trying to be factual, whereas the stupidity of Joey and the superstition and denial of reality of phoebe are glorified as funny and quirky and often shown as equal or even superior to Ross' intellectualism.

I think the same thing happened in the beginning of the 20th century and partly is the reason for the two world wars which makes me afraid of the future seeing the global development of increasing tension and rearmament.
