It’s like saying that bullets and knives being more convenient than bricks for killing people are basic economics.
Doesn’t explain why those brownshirt types have guns and knives and kill people on the streets, while you don’t have those, and the police doesn’t shoot them, and more than that, they’d arrest you were you to do something to brownshirts.
What I wanted to take from this bad analogy is that the systems are designed for troll farms to work, and not vice versa. Social media are an instrument to impose governments’ will upon population. There are things almost all governments converge on, so the upsides of such existing outweigh the downsides.
