Zuckerberg is the same. Spoilt rotten, sooking over every little moment.

Seeing the evil fucks in the front row smiling and clapping, loving him for it. They know exactly what they’re seeing.

Spot on. We all know exactly what we saw. But…

“This is just a distraction from [the class war / taxes / Russia / China / the Koreas / India / … ]!”

“Allegedly, he seemingly did a gesture that resembles a fascist salute. He could’ve been having a heart attack and pointing at a paramedic. You don’t know.”

“It’s a tic. He’s had it since he was a child. I read about it on this random screenshot of a news article from 2018.”

“The Roman Salute, as it is known amongst historians, can be seen in many statues. Here’s a link to one. Things have history, Alex. God. Not everything is nazis.”

“So his views are a little extreme. Most people would argue they’re vile. I certainly don’t agree with them, but people. Please. Civility and decorum must rule. I’d fight for his right to blahblahblah…"

“I’m sorry; we can’t hear you over our Economic Anxiety. Groceries are too expensive and people are homeless! That’s why we elected nazis. Please be more understanding of our extra special circumstances and ignorance.”

“It’s legal to do that in the USofA. Where is it not legal? Germany? Interesting! Gosh their freezepeach laws are a bit restrictive, eh? Controlling how we move our bodies? Sounds like something a nazi would want.”

And on. And if you engage with it, they’ll just turn on some kind of AI bot thingy to continue the “conversation,” taking up even more space online.

I think that’s why they had it indoors. Remove the opportunity for the people to dissent in the moment.

Thanks for asking this btw. Just found it with a quick search wondering the same thing after reading yet another comment section (this one about Trump, Musk and JD Vance) that turned into 50% whinging about .world mods/admin and horrible reddit users turning their lemmy into a shithole. The answers you got here were really helpful for me to understand a bit more about the context/history of these spaces.

jfc I’d forgotten that moment. Let us never forget the Bowling Green Massacre.

Burning the witches is WAY more important than who tells them they’re allowed to burn the witches.

When they lose their “imperfect messenger from God” they’ll just follow who their pastors tell them to follow. Maybe they’ll change the name to the Trump Party and any nazi Christian soldier can lead it. Bible-banger Vance is lined up as the successor atm, but who knows? Could be Desantis. Could be Bannon. Anyone tapped who’s willing to act out that vindictive certainty, solidarity and ferocity that Trump performs so well can do the job for them.

Maybe one of his kids. If the fundie leaders want to be truly perverse (and we know they do), they’ll choose Ivanka and call it feminism.

source: grew up in a bog-standard xtian cult village in North America. I know these Good Folk, and the Sharia Law-type plans they have for women. The death of Grab-Her-By-The-Pussy will just be a chance to deify him further.

It’s giving Onward Christian toddlers

So far I’ve only heard about this one boss, so CT still has time to get in front of it. If they don’t go beyond “we’re shocked and looking into it” I’ll be the second to join your boycott though.

Even just to renew their brand image, wouldn’t now be a great time for the CT corporation to come out publicly against hiring outside of the country; make it policy? Could even put together a happy workforce montage advert with a “we’re hiring local” voiceover to publicize the change.

imo the source of the problem is the TFW program itself.

Defense for programs that enable debt bondage and human trafficking hasn’t changed much since the early 1900s either: agriculture would collapse, industry in general would be in ruins, it’s a lot of money to Them, local workers are too lazy, and “if you don’t want to go back to slavery, this is the best we can do.”

We can do better than what the guys in this news bit describe.
