T1: U.S. backs strongman to keep a lid on his Central American country and be pro-U.S.. T2: Strongman gets removed from power via armed struggle or popular movement. T3: pacted transition hobbles state strength and creates cartel parties (partidocracia). T4: U.S. backs strongman... Rinse, Repeat

Competition between social media companies is great for everyone. I just hope that we don't get to the failure mode where every platform just becomes a dogmatic echo chamber of a narrow political & social narrative. I'll keep pushing against that failure mode. I love you all ❤
