Facebook Founder Mark Zuckerberg just posted a letter that’s addressed to pretty much everyone. Containing over 5,700 words, the social media figure talked about a variety of subjects, including the rising sympathy towards isolationism.
Zuckerberg specifically addresses anti-globalism sentiments, writing that Facebook stands to achieve much by bridging the world with its platform. On that note, for anyone paying close attention, it would seem that the manifesto is just a whole lot of words with very little substance.
“Facebook stands for bringing us closer together and building a global community,” the post reads. “When we began, this idea was not controversial. Every year, the world got more connected and this was seen as a positive trend. Yet now, across the world, there are people left behind by globalization, and movements for withdrawing from global connection. There are questions about whether we can make a global community that works for everyone, and whether the path ahead is to connect more or reverse course.”
Although many praised the Facebook founder for his positive attitude towards globalism, there are also comments that tended to have more negative content, Business Insider reports. With regards to the subject of people becoming anti-global, there is certainly incontrovertible evidence of such a movement. Nothing defines this trend more than President Donald Trump’s “America First” declaration and the recent Brexit.
On that note, there is the matter of Zuckerberg’s incredibly lengthy post containing more fluff than actual substance. As TechCrunch points out, the letter was short on specifics, even as it talked about groups that were either pro or anti-globalism. There was also no mention of any named individual, public or private, which seems to be the Facebook founder’s attempt of not rocking the boat.
It’s clear that Zuckerberg is trying to say something without angering one side or the other of an incredibly divided America. It caters to the lowest common denominator, which makes the manifesto’s message a bit difficult to swallow for some.
