I recall posting warnings about federation with Meta, was ignored.

I feel like history repeats yet again. How many times have people called for not trusting big corporations, just for people saying "give them a chance!", and then to regret it later?

I can still block the whole domain whenever I want.

Real talk, can anyone explain to me why exactly Meta/FB pander to the right this hard? Are the ad dollars/engagement that good?

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?

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 23 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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.

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

[–] PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 10 points 2 years ago

It's easier to be successful if you don't care about trampling over people

[–] sudo@lemmy.today 12 points 2 years ago

Less regulation means more exploitation

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 years ago

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.

Why do far right weirdos always have pinched, squashed little faces??

Oversized vibrating anal beads.

He definitely looks like a Dustin doesn't he? He definitely looks like the sort of person that would have a podcast and as a result of that podcast is currently been sued by 40 different people.

[–] aseriesoftubes@lemmy.world 35 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That guy even looks like a right-wing chud. I bet he's got some runes tattooed somewhere on his person.

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 2 years ago

"halfdan was here", right above the bum

Serious question....why isn't the DOJ stepping in and stopping any of this? The FBI? Anyone?

[–] Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

What makes you think decision makers in the DOJ or FBI are against project 2025?

[–] SynopsisTantilize@lemm.ee 6 points 2 years ago

Idk. Hopeium mostly.

I wish I was stupid enough to not have to worry about any of this shit. Agent Smith I want back into the matrix please.

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Why would they? They aren't against it.

[–] masquenox@lemmy.world 19 points 2 years ago

Oh look... the capitalists liberals have been bending over backwards for so many decades is happily marching in lock-step with fascists - again.

If only someone could have predicted this!

I'm ever-vindicated that I never got a Facebook.

He'll probably be trying to implement a lot of his own technologies using Orb Maths or Circle Theorems
