    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.

      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.

    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.

    It’s freedom of speech. Being able to say what you want and suffer the consequences of your decisions is what it is all about.

      Except it’s not really “freedom of speech?” You can’t normally say someone is mentally ill - the verbiage is that you can specifically only call LGBT people mentally ill.

      Oh you mean like specifically disallowing people from calling someone crazy unless that person is gay or trans? How the fuck is that “free speech”?

      I can post some violent fantasy online and meta won’t allow you to call me crazy for it, but if you call me crazy because you think I’m gay that’s just fine?

    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.

    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.

      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

      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.
