does anyone think Mark Zuckerberg is factually wrong that Elizabeth Warren poses an existential threat to his business? If not, why are we supposed to be shocked, shocked! at his comments saying so?

- happytoexplain 7y agoIt's not really useful to simply tell people they shouldn't be "surprised" about something. Nearly always, what you're interpreting as "surprise" is not some opinion akin to "I thought, pragmatically, that this would not happen, but it did". Usually what you're seeing is an opinion about what happened - i.e. whether it's good or bad (to be reductive). Also, it's a really common trope for people arguing in bad faith to reframe a reaction as only "surprise" and then attacking people for so stupidly being surprised.
- jstrong 7y agomy argument is more, Elizabeth Warren is definitely an existential threat to Facebook and it would be wildly imprudent for the CEO to treat her election as anything less.
