There’s a thing that happens to people like Zuckerberg and Musk. They get a lot of hate (deserved, yes, but they don’t see it that way, and it’s probably true that they get plenty of undeserved hate too). Anyway they get used to the hate. It stops affecting them. But in this process they also develop a detached disdain for the public. They write off humanity. This same thing that allows them survive the hate also allows them to walk around like they know better and are better. It’s what sucks all compassion out of them. And then they behave like criminal overlords, because the can and honestly it’s the final “fuck you” they can give the world.
I’m not rendering any judgment here, like “we should stop hating on these guys.” No. I’m just saying I think this is part of how they get to be this way.
Meta (Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp), X/Twitter, TikTok - all of these are fascist mouthpieces. Consider any information you gain through them to be propaganda.
One of my biggest recent gripes is that I have to use WhatsApp for work. I have disconnected myself from all privately owned giant social media, but I can’t drop whatsapp because I’m required to use it for communication at work with students.
Facebook needs to be burned to the ground. I’ll let you decide if that means in a business or physical sense. It is a cancer consuming us from the inside out.
The fucking sunglasses outline in his face…
Sunglasses? No. Literally the opposite. Those marks are what happen to your face when you never take off your quest headset.
I’m not sure what’s so amazing about that. I see lots of people get the same outline when they go skiing.
Just shows how sickly pale he looks without a tan, that’s all.
Probably those protective goggles you wear while in a tanningbed or spraybooth
Sounds like a job for the Cinco Eye Taning System™
I’m a boatman, and a tanman.
But I digress… Sorry, we were discussing cowardly, billionaire sycophants vigorously licking fascist balls in public.
I try to not get swept up in “correlation equals causation” and conspiracies, but many of these timings seem really really sus
Zuck plans on running in 2028 after Trump. His hero he constantly tries to emulate, Augustus Caesar, didn’t run a company. He was an emperor.
God, that’s a horrifying thought.
He doesn’t have the charisma to be a cult leader, which is a requirement to be a Republican president now.
I don’t see it happening, but if it does…
People just voted for me. I don’t know why. They ‘trust me.’ Dumb fucks.
—Mark FuckerbergThat might cause a spilt in Republicans. I’m assuming there are significant number of them who don’t want Jewish president.
Watching Leopards eating each other’s faces is my favorite pastime
Unless democracy is disbanded I don’t see that happening. He may be the same kind of con artist that trump is… but I can’t see him ever getting that loser nerd image out of the heads of any group no matter how much MMA training he takes.
Republicans are already preparing laws for another Trump term in 2028 but he’ll likely need a puppet for 2032
Given Trump’s physical condition and eating habits, I would be extremely surprised if he even made it to the end of the current term.
His dad lived into his 90s and he has the best medical care on the planet available to him. He’ll probably keep going for a while despite his best efforts.
Even the best health care eventually can’t keep up with an obese geriatric’s steady diet of McDonald’s and Diet Coke.
Here’s hoping!
This bullshit is just going to get worse and worse.
This is probably due to people mass reporting these pages or profiles and them being automatically blocked or some shit. But yeah, @[email protected] is right. It’s really a funny coincidence.
Considering the recent policy change saying it’s ok to specifically accuse lgbtq+ of being mentally ill, no, it’s not just reports. Not a chance. This is by design.
It’s only been one week and I’m already fucking tired. There’s going to be four fucking years of this fucking bullshit. That’s if we’re lucky and he doesn’t transform the US into a full blown dictatorship with president for life status.
This will not happen, due to the end goal of what they want being directly against the constitution. And even if it did we would see a full reversal of power in the other direction. There is no way that they would be able to accomplish something like that without a full Civil War again, but this time I’d be even worse because instead of just fighting the South in the North you’d be fighting your neighbors cuz it’d be red versus blue.

I may be hitting the copium, but I feel like this will not happen. It feels like having influence over social media platforms is really powerful, but the Internet is still there. It’s easy to send or find information if you want to, much easier than before the Internet. It’s much easier for set up or use a new information outlet than it was to start a TV station or newspaper. I thought no retailers could beat Sears, until Walmart came. People protested Walmart saying if they don’t like your CD for political reasons, people just won’t buy it. No one can touch Walmart. Then came Amazon. I think social media platforms will be even more short-lived in their influence, especially considering how easy it is to “change the channel” or start a new “channel”.
The people in China, and to a lesser extent Russia, want to have a word with you about how the government can control the internet.
The people in China, and to a lesser extent Russia, want to have a word with you about how the government can control the internet. It’s not happening year yet. I’m hopeful that people will just go around the censors to get the content they want. I’m concerned that when Tiktok shut off its service and some people wrongly thought the gov’t “blocked” the packets, many Americans were okay with that.
(Unrelated, but in order to have a newline appear in Lemmy, for some reason you need to have two carriage returns. Example:
line one, single carriage return line two
line one, double carriage return
line two)
I’ve always been curious if it would be worth someone setting up a movement of people that set up meta or Instagram account and then just go through in Mass report. Obviously they don’t pay for moderators so like eventually the system will autoflack the post and take it down.
Basically do the same thing that Facebook is doing to suppressors but to the opposing side.
I don’t use Facebook myself so I would never be able to do something like that but like surprised someone else hasn’t
