Meta was already enabling genocide in third world countries and countless other things but this is what caused chaos. Those employees have weird priorities, huh?

[edit] reworded slightly on the account of caused controversy

Ah yes, the "old news theory"...

-They've done it already, why call them out again? It's old news.

While they escalate and continue to go full-on hate for profit.

  1. They haven't done "it" because it's a different thing
  2. OP did not say not to call it out again, simply ask us to consider why this thing caused more chaos than others

i was with you at first but upon rethinking i do think it’s fair to note that there was little to no internal uproar in meta over the myanmar and othe situations. of course there was uproar outside meta. when they said “weird priorities” they meant from meta employees specifically—not progressive or leftist voices in general.

hope me describing my train of thoughts helps :)
