I left facebook after years of having meta not do anything about blatant transphobia and ableism that I reported to them. I got a death threat late last year and that was the final straw for me
“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.
I feel comfortable decreeing conservatives are a mental illness.
More of a logic plague
I thought it's widely-agreed that gender dysphoria is a mental illness. The debate lies in how to treat it—try to realign the body with the mind or the mind with the body.
Zeezee already has a great reply. I'd also like to add that gender dysphoria isn't the same as being trans, it's possible to be trans and not have dysphoria

I mean... We do sometimes. 🤷🏻♂️
For example I have ADHD, autism and BPD.
When people talk about "LGBTQ+ people have mental illness" they don't mean any of that.
They mean "being LGBTQ+ is a mental illness, and these people first need to be attempted to be cured, if that fails then need to be removed from society".

What I want to know is who thought it was a good idea to give the kid who ate rocks at recess for attention an international platform. Hmm?
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.
He won the popular vote, you can't blame that on gerrymandering.
Yeah you can. Lots of people chose not to vote because they knew their votes were too gerrymandered to matter.

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.
