The way I see it is that reactionary media ecosystem made an industry out of hating the United States (for all the ways it failed to live up to conservative values), motivated by corporate entrenched interests wanting to hamstring the government so they themselves could occupy the power vacuum. But then as more and more USD-savings accrued outside of the US, that ecosystem was bought into and augmented by foreign hostile powers whose goals mostly align with the corporations. Meanwhile the executives and managers in that media ecosystem have suffered the same bureaucratic-spreadsheet clock-punching decline as other industries, leading to a tail-wags-the-dog situation where they don't know what actually putting America first might even look like.
Yeah, that’s basically the mental model I’m aiming for.
Not “replace the desktop”, but one pane of glass for a specific project/workflow. Some people prefer strict OS-level windows, others seem to think better when the project is laid out spatially and persists between sessions.
I give it three months before it's ironically adopted by a broader audience or else sincerely adopted by people who see some value in the ethos. As if often the case, the lines will be blurred.
Sometimes I think people just want to be contrary and on some "new shit".
