Capitalists??? Capitulating to fascists?????? Well, I never.

Huge changes across Facebook's platforms coming soon. Mark Zuckerberg says the recent elections "feel like a cultural tipping point towards once again prioritizing speech..." www.facebook.com/zuck/videos/...

Is there precedent for this? Struggling to think of any. It would probably pave the way for really bad stuff, I feel I would've heard about it.

It's always been socialism or barbarism and the establishment slammed their hands down on the barbarism button as hard as they could the minute even slight changes to capitalist rule were suggested.

I kinda think we should be making "socialism or barbarism" a threat from us, rather than a choice for them?

belalugosisdad.bsky.social•50 days ago

I feel pretty positive about some barbarism rn.

That's the one.

The real problem with all this is that appeasement doesn't work with fascists. Trump will take everything they offer and demand more.

Then one day for no reason he may decide he's done with them. Then he'll sink their companies and leave them living under a bridge, or dump them forever in jail.

Possibly the worst thing that ever happened to us vis a vis this man was letting David Fincher, Aaron Sorkin & Jesse Eisenberg convince us he was a whipsmart misanthrope instead of a basic bitch who will say or do anything to get you to hang out with him

I only use Instagram to look at cats and to see my favourite historians adventures, now I'll see hate posts every other reel.
Lame.

Yet another disappointment. Since when is truth not free expression?

Guess I will leave FB too.

Following for this and also history but mostly for “George Michael stan” 💗

They're all just basically preparing to bow down to President Musk. I love advance compliance, if gives me a warm fuzzy of burning human rights.

The speed at which it happened across the board though. That surprised me a little, even from news outlets. They seem to know that this is it. Bow down or be destroyed.

They don't seem to realise they're going to be destroyed regardless.

zostepatrikia.bsky.social•50 days ago

It's unsurprising to me. They're setting up for an actual functional oligarchy and their billionaire overlords are calling the shots.

Why, that’s unprecedented!

This is less a capitulation than a complete endorsement of the fascist project in every detail

Capitalising on (and in) it

He said "he started building social media to give people a voice."

Was there a bigger load of crap than that statement? And why Oh why do we think people are smart just because they are rich?

alewyfe.bsky.social•50 days ago

To give people a voice about important issues they care about, like whether the girl down the hall in my dorm is hot or not! Deeply unserious company from the beginning, basically unusable swill-multiplier now. Sigh.
