Archive || Give Amazon and Facebook a Seat at the United Nations - Bloomberg. It's gibberish.
An odd tweet thread by the writer where he tries to defend his take. Here's a sample...
2. If it’s true that Zuckerberg deferred to Clegg on whether to allow Trump back onto Facebook, it would mark a pivotal spin of the revolving door: a billionaire CEO delegating to a former British deputy PM the power to shape the political future of a one-term U.S. president.
Or...and hear me out....maybe possibly if they're big enough to be a part of the United Nations, then maybe, just maybe, the dictatorship of the proletariat should just seize them both and repurpose them into our nationalized social media communications system and global distribution system.
Or maybe we should just let the billionaires keep playing games and shooting themselves into space....
If amazon gets admitted into the UN how would that even work? How would they defend their sovereignty unless amazon is going to coup The United States.
amazon is going to coup The United States.
Already happened in most smaller states and even some big ones.
Yes lets hold them accountable by giving them even more power. Wtf?
Just fucking abolish them and use their money for good.
Monkey paw curls, major corporations start to gain seats on the UN, most of them are Chinese, China gains 20 seats on the UN
giving a speech before the UN like "Mark Zuckerberg is starving us. Please help, my people yearn for freedom."
Real talk though, my brother got my niece one of those little truck AI toys that have a monitor faces with different expressions and limited set of things they can do. She absolutely abused that poor thing and I'm in the corner like: :meow-knit: oh god oh fuck this is how it starts
oh god oh fuck this is how it starts
Oh, Great and Mighty AI Robot Overlords - I beech you and beg you remember that I welcome your rule of us - we mere hapless and lucky primates.

cool
Better solution: The UN appropriates Facebook and Amazon. They are now universal corporations owned equally by the world’s population.
This would work better if the UN weren't part of the bourgeois dictatorship
That’s a really cool option you have there mr. schott, now face the wall.
I always thought it was weird that leftists just brushed off Anarcho-capitalist weirdos. That's pretty much where this shit is headed at this point.
Remember when everyone under W (including Alan Greenspan) said they were Ayn Rand stans?
*Rand Paul was literally named after that dumb shit lol.

:farquaad-point:
Ron Paul claims that he didn't name him after Ayn Rand. His name is Randall and he just chooses to go by Rand rather than, like, Randy
this seems like a thing america would not do ever as that would just really hamper america's hegemon status also like i don't understand how this would even work like pure diplomatic chaos I HAVE AMAZON DIPLOMATIC IMUNITY I AM A MIDDLE MANAGER THERE like insane stuff
I HAVE AMAZON DIPLOMATIC IMUNITY I AM A MIDDLE MANAGER THERE
"Yes, I raped and killed those ten girls, officer. I don't even remember which order. But I'm an Amazon executive - understand?" He looks at his watch. "How much longer is this gonna take? I gotta get back to the office right away. And if they garnish my wages - they're gonna garnish your wages too..."
We've got a new feature release in like 2 hours. Either you let me go, or you're going to be the one answering for our stock plunge when 2 hours is up and the new sex slave auction house AWS frameworks and sales platform isn't online.

Sometimes jokes about Amazon creep me the fuck out. This is one of those times.
They already have CIA contracts, who's to say this isn't already happening!
I wish we had subscript like reddit
creeped out^(creeped out).
gain the direct ability to mess with resolutions that could prevent wars in countries they want resources in. become recognized as equal to a state, and have legal grounds outside america to begin acting as a state with foreign countries. If China tries to withdraw from the UN because they will not treat Facebook as a state, that would likely further american insanity.

While the USSR was boycotting the UN over it refusing to give the PRC China's seat, the US cynically used it to support their genocidal war in Korea.
that's exactly what I mean. If you don't play along with the weird circus, you get harsh punishments.
But the thing is - no one in power anywhere respects the UN. Adding companies to it would lead towards the UN collapsing.
it does allow for diplomatic resolutions. it's not very good, but better than nothing, as it sets rules and moderators for these discussions.
Diplomacy is a lot easier in the always online era. Secure phone conversations were HARD and always 1:1 until very recently.
The main usage of the UN is putting things into the liberal American mindset.
Corporations and CEOs shouldn’t be part of it unless they are their own country, and good luck getting America to say Facebook is it’s own country.
Bruh imagine seeing that corporations have powers that rival governments and going, hm yes we should enshrine this in international law

Corporations are not a nation. It’s simply in the name of the organization. The United NATIONS. Not the United corporations.
Multinational corporate sovereignty? Cyberspace Magna Carta incoming
