Real talk, can anyone explain to me why exactly Meta/FB pander to the right this hard? Are the ad dollars/engagement that good?
Peter Thiel I assume.
Ding ding ding.
He was one of Facebooks first investors.
Also a good friend of Elon. The dude who proclaimed "Fuck Zuck!" as he bought Twitter.
Thiel got his fortune from PayPal. Along with Musk.
Who knew 20 years ago that the nerds who made bank on the dotcom bubble would grow up to be the evil cabal taking over the world?
They were never the nerds though. They were never the ones actually implementing anything, Zuckerberg is probably the most talented out of all of them, they were always just the ones swinging the cash around.
PHP was reborn in the 7th version, and it still works very well.
And it's Wordpress' fault, too.
If I ever gain access to a time machine I'm not doing shit to Hitler but I will go back in time and wipe out whoever developed bloody WordPress.
You can sell more to people out of fear than people just going about their day/night. The Right is all about selling fear (immigrants/liberals/pedophiles/space lasers/etc.) and then ask for "donations" to help the same folks making this shit up to help line their pockets and looked down on these people as less than. Trump is currently the Rights king, and there isn't a group he has more distain and disgust for than his own base.
psychos tend to be more successful due to their lack of empathy
It's easier to be successful if you don't care about trampling over people
Less regulation means more exploitation
Capitalism in decay results in the bourgeoisie and petite bourgeoisie collaborating, in an effort to oppress the out group and forcibly "turn the clock back." It's fascism playing out yet again.
