zuck has repeatedly undermined global democracy. he has fueled hate that drove genocides. he is truly a threat to the survival of humanity

[–] FlyingSquid 16 points 1 week ago (2 children)

He doesn't care about humanity. He has his massive, luxurious bunker in Hawaii to ride out whatever damage he causes.

christ i wish the lizard people conspiracy theory wasn't antisemitic because damn if it doesn't feel good to say billionaires aren't human and their lizard brains just really enjoy amassing stuff and sitting on heat rocks

As an official Red Sea Pedestrian, I give you the right to call Mark Zuckerberg a lizard person.

I assume this is how he eats.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago (2 children)

the optics are too weird with me being culturally but not religiously jewish, even with this license. i think we simply must come up with a new conspiracy theory, like all billionaires are an immortal alien race that change their identities every 80 years to hide the fact that they're actually extradimensional beings whose relationship to us is similar to our relationship with gibbons

I mean, there's the elites from John Carpenter's They Live, who

Tap for spoilerAre actually aliens who have infiltrated the top echelons of society, and keep the poor downtrodden to keep them under control.

And they look gross as fuck.

So perfect analog to use for 'ol Zuck!

[–] FlyingSquid 2 points 1 week ago

I'm culturally and not religiously Jewish too. I think it's okay. Think of it as reclaiming some bigotry!

Maybe we can convince them that Mark Zuckerberg uses the blood of Christian babies to make the Meta Quest?

[–] frunch 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

He'll get bored. Oh wait, he's got the metaverse to keep him entertained 🤡

[–] FlyingSquid 4 points 1 week ago

Think of how many decades he'll have to figure out how to develop working legs for the Meta Quest!

Mark Zuckerberg's mentor is Peter Thiel, a man who believes that corporations should seek monopoly power, because "competition is for losers." Peter Thiel is also a mentor to JD Vance. He, and I'm sure Zuckerberg and Vance as well, see Trump as a useful idiot. Trump is their avenue to taking control of the Federal government.

Peter Thiel is real life Andrew Ryan

[–] TheDemonBuer 3 points 6 days ago

Idk who Andrew Ryan is, but if he's evil, I agree with you.

~~Payment~~ Bribe in lieu of taxes.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

It's not a bribe unless it's in an envelope clearly marked "bribe", silly.
