I worked on intimate image harm moderation / reporting at Meta, and based on my personal experience I agree company leadership is not acting in good faith on the issue. they elevate public facing fluff while ignoring and demoralizing people and teams trying to make Facebook (at minimum) less bad.

the core concept of socialism / Marxism - that separation & imbalance in power between workers and capital holders is toxic in both theory and in practice - is so transparently obvious that (most) capitalist systems try to safeguard against the worst abuses of it to slow their self-destruction.

the people writing satires of war-loving, fascist regimes are weeping. "what do we do now? that would have been over the top even for us..." someone who played Helldivers 2 and didn't get the parody wrote this bullshit, and they deserve to be exiled more than any immigrant.

it's very tiring to constantly see Democrats and media orgs - when they meaningfully criticize and interrogate GOP nonsense at all - get hung up on details vs putting shit in context. opsec blah blah? ok. sure. but also: * attempting to hide * war crimes * for favors from other countries
