I find this interesting in what it lacked:
* No Google / Twitter / Facebook / Amazon
* No news networks (except NPR)
* Hardly any corporations except for Tesla, Space X, AMD, Lego and IKEA
* No GTA, FIFA, large corporate games
* Only 6 actual people (1/3 of which was the Dutch dutchy)
* No films
* No iconic logos - e.g. Olympics rings, Nike, McDonalds
- mycomian 10y agoDon't know what "dutchy" is supposed to mean but those are the king and queen.
- icc97 10y agoSorry - I meant duchy which is strictly for duke / duchess but was just my silly rhyming to refer to the Dutch royalty.
- C4K3 10y agoLego and IKEA were only there because they represented the rivalry between Denmark and Sweden. But I do find it interesting how Tesla and Space X fans are so dedicated that they'd be willing to fight for them.
- icc97 10y ago> so dedicated that they'd be willing to fight for them Now that's brand loyalty. I'm imagining the Great World Brand War of 2130 and the aftermath with McDonalds youth movement being convicted of the genocide of the Nike sneakers resellers
- wtfishackernews 10y agoReddit is known for it's Elon Musk fanboyism, and at least the Tesla subreddit where heavily botting.
