Hot on the heels of retailers who have halted sales of Ivanka Trump's clothing line in protest against Trump (and free marketing buzz), the tech "resistance" against Trump got its lead from Facebook CEO Mark Zuckeberg who on Thursday posted a lengthy note "rebuking isolationist “America First” sentiment, and touting the merits of globalization and a “global community” working for innovation and progress."
In short, the CEO of the "social network", whose business model is predicated upon uninhibited globalization allowing advertisers to reach into every corner of the world with 3 second video clips, is calling for a global government. Not all that surprising.
As the Daily Beast, which first reported about Zuckerberg's post, summarizes:
Discouraged by the underlying suspicion of foreign entities, as seen during the 2016 election and the rise of President Trump, Zuckerberg wrote that he wants to refocus Facebook on helping people come together across borders.
“We have to build a global community that works for everyone. I really don’t have much doubt that this is the right direction to go in the long term.” Part of his goal, he wrote, is to make Facebook a global community that is supportive, safe, informed, civically engaged, and inclusive.
Some more excerpts from Zuckerberg's sermon for globalization:
On our journey to connect the world, we often discuss products we're building and updates on our business. Today I want to focus on the most important question of all: are we building the world we all want?
History is the story of how we've learned to come together in ever greater numbers -- from tribes to cities to nations. At each step, we built social infrastructure like communities, media and governments to empower us to achieve things we couldn't on our own.

I know I’m an anti globalist on FB and am surprised some of my comments haven’t been pulled..
They may think they are, but they are just giving him more wealth to use against them.
I absolutely loath this entitled elitist POS!
A community that doesn’t put the safety of their family, friends, and themselves first, gets used as a doormat by the other communities.
F**k Zuck!
“We have to build a global community that works for everyone.”
Well... there is no such thing. Zuckerberg should know this. Utopia can only exist where Man is perfect. Man is not.
The better to peddle his gimmick all over the world....
Due to the quality of our educational system, the standards for just about everything, have been lowered.
Grammar and spelling no longer have to be correct. Most never even notice it anyway. You can't see something is wrong if you don't know what is wrong or right.
DEVO was right.
Well, what you're not considering is that we will all be perfect once the totalitarian globalists finally have the power to fix human nature. . .
. . . and to execute those of us who won't get with the program.
13 Photos That Prove Mark Zuckerberg Will Run for President in 2020
Ditto.
Another jerk who was able to get wealthy under our system trying to dismantle it.
What is wrong with these vermin?
Plus didn’t he recently sue a bunch of people in Hawaii to “deport” them off his property?
Zuckerberg - get out of my country asshole and take your f’in Facebook with you,
Suckerberg is a steaming stinking liberal pile
Why does anything Zuckerberg says have any meaning outside the tech world and his area of expertise. Listening and giving credit to anything he says is no different that saying that Hollywood celebs should be listened to because they are rich and celebs. That is total BS. Zuckerberg and others that are rich prove daily that money does not equate to intelligence.
Zuckerburg is in the pocket of Soros.
It was on the news that soros is buying up FB stock. So Suckerberg is just sucking up.
I quit my FB acct 4 years ago. Zero desire to even go there.
Just another idiot. A person who never grew up.
This asshat is so high on himself that he actually believes his own hype...what a phoucking fool...
