Because Zuck wears a hoodie while pushing his corporatist political agenda via his well-funded PAC.

Well, no. As influential as Zuck is, his influence simply pales in comparison to that of Koch Brothers or even Monsanto.

The Koch brothers are indeed very influential. Remember when they bankrolled that Libertarian Party that now controls American politics, legalized all the drugs and abolished the income tax?

Just one of many baskets they put their eggs in. It's like pointing out a single failed company to suggest the whole portfolio of them is crappy. Maybe their goal was just giving more exposure to libertarian ideas.

Don't forget about when they legalized gay marriage.

As the Koch Brothers' influence simply pales next to the Tides Foundation. I wonder why that never gets mentioned in these kinds of threads.
