Following pressure from social media, politics in most countries will now be played out within an Octagon.

It all started on that famous day when Elon Mu*k, the famous entrepreneur and owner of the social network X (formerly called Twitter), challenged Marc Zucke*berg, the famous computer scientist and co-founder of the social network Facebook, in an Octagon.


Indeed, for years, these two American multi-billionaires have been exchanging scuds through the media.
After months of "You're rubbish!", "No, it's you who's rubbish!", "Yourself!", Mu*k decided to take the first step in order to calm down this situation that he judged “far too ridiculous to waste my time.”
He therefore proposed to Zucke*berg to resolve this in an Octagon.
In reality, far from chivalrous verbal jousting, the conflict really began when Zucke*berg wanted to release an alternative platform, called Threads, which directly challenged X.
To this, a user on the 2 multi-billionaires.
To that, Mu*k said "I'm ready for a fight LOL".
This is how Mu*k came up with the idea.

Octagon: refers to a cage made up of 8 sides in which MMA fighters compete.



The same day, Marc ends up accepting the challenge with a "Send me the location", proposing that the conditions be negotiated by their respective lawyers.
Following this, the two parties reached an agreement and affirmed that the money raised from the fight, which would take place at the Los Angeles Apex Arena, would be donated to organizations helping children.

Except that.
Because there is an “except that”.
The fight was canceled.
Despite the enthusiasm of social networks, then their disappointment, something more massive emerged.

This time, the idea came directly from Elon.
“What if country representatives wouldn't fight in a cage to avoid thousands or even millions of LoL deaths?” - he said, referring to current armed conflicts.


A message that quickly became viral.
Recovered massively, certain Memes became even more viral.
One of the best known displayed an epic scene from the film Troy where Achilles confronted a giant with muscles of stone. The two armies, ready to kill each other, ended up settling their disputes by making their strongest soldier confront each other.
Thus avoiding unnecessary deaths.
Thus avoiding artificially constructed hatred between people for reasons that concern only a small group of individuals living in the heavens. Let their spokespersons kill each other for them.
In this Meme, we could see the heads of the two soldiers replaced by the heads of Bide* and Xi Jin P*ng.
Other Memes featured the faces of Von Der Le*en and Pout*ne.
From Bide* and from T*ump.

It was so viral around the world that even some small villages ended up ordering "cage fights" between different political parties.
