Exactly. (Edit: misread your post) Until the 2016 elections, Americans on the Left or Right were just (semi) friendly rivals occasionally jabbing each other on the shoulder. "How do you like that old sport!" as Democrats would name a school after Martin Luther King Jr. "Well how about one of these!" Republicans would say as they give teh military a raise.

But then our enemies saw an opportunity: "look at how much Americans depend on social media for their news... and look- there's a new guy on the political scene that has ties with us..." And suddenly hundreds of posts with Spongebob or Lisa Simpson or Spider-man standing in front of a chalkboard started appearing on everybody's timelines.

EDIT: No, it's not that a person isn't allowed to have personal political opinions. It's one of the small things that barely keeps us from becoming a Totalitarian country. It's the information that we ingest that is altered by the Russians/ Chinese.

Passively listening to, of course. Otherwise, government agencies have very little need to sew division for whatever nefarious plots they may have since Americans are dividing themselves. Mention the word "drag queen" to a Republican or "AR-15" to a Liberal and watch cities burn and Capitals fall.

Reply to “If the metaverse were a real revolution, it would already have happened!” Interesting video by Polytechnique insights by DeCastroRodriguez

-Videogames 40 years ago: Pong, Centipede, Mario; a small, niche industry

-Videogames today: 86% of the global population has immediate access to portable gaming, gaming industry is $176 billion/ bigger than Hollywood entertainment industry

Patience people. (although Facebook owning a/the de facto VR landscape is a bit laughable)

Virtually every answer here was a lame "nO oNe KnOwS" or "we'll blow ourselves up." While both these answers are true, they are boring and don't answer your request. Here are a few awesome old school Discovery Channel-style videos discussing the possibilities of the future:
