Ohhhh. It all makes sense now. Cory Doctorow @pluralistic@mamot.fr points out that Trump's trade shenanigans are all part of a long history of US enshittificaton of the international trade system, for all the same reasons as Facebook's and YouTube's decline. Who would have thought that an international trade system could be vulnerable to enshittificaton? It turns out that it breeds in the shadows of all kinds of monopoly. https://pluralistic.net/2026/01/26/i-dont-want/#your-greenback-dollar
