Fuck Mark

Mark Zuckerberg was caught on audio stating that If Elizabeth Warren were elected and backed further regulation FB would have to "go to the mats" and fight. In a world were a common man's biggest fear is a single uninsured hospital visit will leave his children not just destitute but scrambling to cover the fees for a discounted burial, what deformed human gene informs defective units like Zuckerberg, who's wealth assures not a single zygote down to the fifth generation will ever be forced to wield a broom or mop nor even the disappointment of being denied entrance to Harvard, that he is targeted and disadvantaged by a progressive politician? What part of his suffering and struggles to become successful (I ate Ramen, Dammit!) imbued him with the virtue to engage a holy war against others rising to a position of opportunity miles below his own launching pad? In middle school when I first read of the French revolution the wholesale beheading of the elites struck me as mindless and cruel but Zuckerberg makes me incline toward believing it was harsh, but necessary and reasonable.

You and I are supposed to love the flag, stand for the anthem, and fight the wars. the uber rich and corporations don't have to exhibit a shred of patriotism except for 4th of July versions of consumer goods

That story got short shrift here in the States.

But make no mistake, FB has the blood of hundreds of thousands of Rohingya on their hands, and Zuckerberg KNOWS it.

carrying member of the Oligarchy now. He does what he wants! He is in the club we can't join and are not invited to, and I really don't care what his background or struggle was. Their terms are "new money" and "old money". His fortune is new money.

Despicable twit? He's looking out for his own. In my opinion, Oligarchs are the real enemies of democracy. It gets in their way and they do a lot to impede and destroy it when possible. The future is about that. Pay heed.

business model, which basically is the austerity economics business model.

Fuckerberg needs to be targeted by Warren, because Yang is his man in this election.

still lives in the world of 'information wants to be free' and will live in that world as long as he can while there is profit in it for him.

But Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, no censorship, got to live with it unfortunately.

Consumers of said media need to be their own censors, and decide what is worthwhile and what is just misleading information, made up stuff, or vile propaganda.

A bit like the mainstream media, really. Don't just soak it up, be hyper critical and look for motivation behind everything. The good, the bad, the ugly will come at you undigested, uncensored. Protect yourself.

I always wondered why the 'anyone but Hillary' thing started up before the last election, but now I know. Hopefully, it won't happen again. Unless it is 'anyone but Trump', of course.

"The Facebook" was built primarily as a mechanism for revenge.

Why anyone would want to support that smarmy little twist is beyond me.
