    They put Dana White who heads the UFC on the board, all because Zuckerberg did Jujitsu… Jujitsu and the UFC has stange political affiliations to chechen forces Putin sometimes employs.

    They’re a hyper masculine male traditionalist culture. So it all ties back into that BS.

    They call it “Sportswashing” - using Jujitsu to slide extremist politics onto someone. Zuckerberg fell tor it hook line and sinker. Libertarian to pro Russia pipeline. Anti-woke fascism in practice.

      As a MMA enjoyer, Dana White being put in charge of anything is fucking scary. He is an extremely evil and ruthless man. He is so open about treating fighters like complete shit saying “its better to keep them hungry because then they are more motivated to preform”.

      Dana is at the forefront of Saudi sportswashing and pushing right wing culture on young men. He hooked trump up with Nelk and got Trump infront of massive influencers and their audiences.

      Hearing Zuck speak longform a few years ago I actually thought he was left leaning and a reasonable guy. But that was bullshit, the guys morals are about as strong as a wet paper bag.

    It’s worth noting you’re only allowed to insultingly say someone has a mental illness in relation to their gender or sexual orientation.

    Do not post … Insults, including those about: … Mental characteristics, including but not limited to allegations of stupidity, intellectual capacity, and mental illness, and unsupported comparisons between PC groups on the basis of inherent intellectual capacity. We do allow allegations of mental illness or abnormality when based on gender or sexual orientation, given political and religious discourse about transgenderism and homosexuality and common non-serious usage of words like “weird.”

      His whole thing is procreation. Not happiness, not love, not companionship, just spreading his seed into as many women as possible. When you’re rich they let you do it. He got this idea from his dad. For his dad, some of those women were his stepdaughters…so there’s still time for Elon to get even grosser.

    FB won’t even do anything about the constant bombardment of scammer profiles that hit you if you post on any public group. They are always some attractive woman (stolen pics probably) with a profile that is a few months old and 1-2 posts at best. They always have the same message “I saw your profile pic! Friend me!” or some such crap.

      Is this a meme I don’t know?

      Zuck is extraordinarily intelligent. You don’t get into Harvard as a non legacy eating rocks.

      Nor did anyone give it to him. He took it by cheating the partners that made Facebook grow in it’s early years.

        You’re correct in the second half though. It doesn’t take brains to steal, see November 5 2024.

          C’mon now. Don’t do that. Be better than that.

          What we have to understand, and accept is that the election was not stolen. It exists in a broken system where only a handful of states actually have votes that matter. And this time, those states willingly voted for trump. Texas was never going to vote for any democrat. California was never going to vote for any republican.

          The few states that mattered, namely PA, voted trump.

          It sucks, but thats what happened. You can’t just call fraud because you don’t like the gerrymandering and the oppressed voting. Those are issues to address in the years BEFORE the election. Start addressing them now for 2028.

    greed is a mental illness.

    billionaires are greedy.

    the rich are a plague upon society and must be quarantined.

    A fairly large percentage of straight people definitely have mental illness. Likely the same ones that will be saying the same thing about gay/trans.

    So what I see is, Meta first creates the problem of trans-metaverse by super aggressive inorganic promotion and then makes it even worse by cutting the expenses on such useless promotion. XD

    L for all those who fell for it. Society eats you up (not sexually, keep your pants on) for getting mentally manipulated so easily.

    On the bright side, if there’s a boomer who only posts bad memes about how much he hates his wife, you can say he has a mental illness.

    You could before, because it’s true, but you still can too.

      The problem with western oligarchs is that they rarely step foot on public land …so it’s really hard to track their schedules let alone get a shoot shot off.

        A fun non-lethal approach is to just try to sabotage their planes while they’re on the ground. Shooting a hole in the window of a flying aircraft, generally frowned upon. Shooting a hole in a billionaire’s sky yacht while it’s empty in it’s hangar…well that’s just property damage that happens to prevent them from poisoning the atmosphere.

    “It’s not right that things can be said on TV or the floor of Congress, but not on our platforms,”

    I somewhat respect that statement actually.
