Already the most disliked man in America, Zuckerberg will show with his next era whether he believes in anything as much as he does power. Was his interest in jiu-jitsu mixed martial arts authentic or a way to ingratiate himself with the manosphere’s podcast hosts? We may know by the time he faces his first inquest. Perhaps he’ll return to the liberal roots of his former public image like founding a pro-immigration nonprofit, as he did a decade ago.

    They’ll follow the money. Cozy up to Democrats, change their public image, and keep influencing policy behind the scenes. Different party, same game.

      Exactly. The stupidity of the Republicans only serves to highlight how savage the unbridled capitalist system in the U.S.A has always been. Deep down, the Democrats support the same thing, but (being savvier) they know how to disguise it.

      The goal of the blues is the same as that of the reds (to increase social inequality), though the latter are clearly more crude than the former. They only differ on cultural issues, in order to give the public the impression that they are vastly different.

      Politics in America is theater, a WWE game, which is why the two-party system is referred to as the Uniparty.

    They will throw money at democrats. It’s imperative for us to keep tabs on which ones accept their money. And AIPAC’s money.

    They will cozy up to Democrats, and celebrate on stage with them when they take the Presidency.

    In return for all of that “coziness” (i.e. donations), Democrats will continue their longstanding policy of not returning to pre-Reagan taxation for corporations and the wealthy (a 50-year tradition)

    Fuck the tech bros and their eagerness to fuck all the people for fun and profit. I am buying a paper notebook and a pencil and some stamps. That’s my internet motherfuckers. I don’t even have to subscribe to anything and pay a monthly fee. ISP’s, we see you and we are starting to look in your direction.

      I cut back heavily on it for years and then deleted my account during covid when I noticed FB pushing toxic agendas. I told everyone in my life to quit as well. I am the only one who is off of it and my life is better and I never missed it to begin with.

      Because Facebook is designed to be addictive, I guess. Same reason why people smoke even though it’s very unhealthy.

      We can’t afford to forget about bot accounts. Social media and the internet in general is vastly polluted by non-human accounts trying to manipulate you directly and through your algorithm. Also it’s a literal addiction engine; yeah people on it are flawed and unaware fo themselves and harms they’re exposed to, and also the site is designed to exploit them to the tune of billions of dollars in psychological research. So don’t forget how evil it is when you want to blame the (human) users, it is in part victim blaming. Also, don’t forget Zuckerberg did this all with intent when you see his pasty robotic ass dragged in for depositions to explain himself.

    My guess is that the extent of their token gestures will amount to little more than going back to pride flags in June and pronouns in their email signatures.
