    My mom believes the bullshit about LGBTQ being a mental illness. Can’t wait for it to get worse! Thanks Facebook!

      I find homophobia to be a mental illness. I mean it’s right there in the name.

    Billionaires have mental illness and have negatively affected me and society as a whole more than any gay or trans person ever could.

      Immense wealth is not compatible with the moral life. It’s also not compatible with Christianity, but I don’t think any of them truly care about religion. The drive for greed should be a mental illness, especially when it’s at the cost of empathy.

      Yup, and if you reported it as hate speech they’d review it and say it doesn’t go against community guidelines.

        And then YOU get banned for “abusing the report feature”.

        Reported a blatantly bigoted post saying that all gays should be burnt alive and I got a 30 day account suspension.

      It’s just they’re updating their terms now that Trump is in power. Hate started to rise since the beginning of GenAI on the platform, I highly suspect due to the backlash from socially progressive people against it, and techbros didn’t appreciate that. They’re going mask off now after the elections.

        Yeah the left wants things that actually hinder the oligarchs, the right wants to complain about them but will settle for people they don’t like being hurt. Tech companies understand that.

        There’s also the fact that the bay area has spent quite a while having the sort of people who love to treat equal rights as a thought exercise

    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.”

    As far as internet content goes, hate is winning. All the major social media platforms have been overrun by sexist, racist, LGBTQphobic commentary. And these platforms will simply follow the money, pushing hate content via algorithms as good people leave the platforms.

      Make two Reddit accounts, one saying “I love trans people” and one saying “I hate trans people”. I bet the latter will get banned first.

      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.

      Never has been:

      According to the text messages, Zuckerberg wrote, “Yeah, so if you ever need info about anyone at Harvard, just ask me. I have over 4,000 emails, pictures, addresses, SNS.”

      In response, a friend inquired, “What? How did you manage to obtain all that?”

      To which Zuckerberg callously replied, “People just submitted it. I don’t know why they ‘trust me.’ Dumb f****.”

    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.

      I wish our government actually regulated these corporations so they are not able to have a tentacle in so many essential technologies.

      All of the symptoms of the crushing power of techbro oligarchs are directly tied to failures of govt to regulate.

        This has been true since “sign in with Facebook” became a thing.

        I think with Brazil banning Xitter, and I reckon Starmer might too given how much Musk has attacked him, it might be come more of a thing.
