Honestly, this is better.
Corporations, especially publicly traded corporations are amoral. Sociopaths. If they could make moar money murdering you painfully, they would every time.
When they give to charity, they donate 100k to the charity and spend 3 million advertising they gave 100k to charity, as it’s a marketing ploy.
They don’t see poors as human, regardless of identity, you are livestock to them. I like my sociopath capitalists out in the open. They’re even more dangerous when they convince you they have basic decency. They don’t. Sell your products and services, if I absolutely need it, I’ll buy it, if I don’t I won’t.
But we’re half a century past the point of pretending the relationship between the oligarch capitalists and their labor consumers is a cordial, or even respectful one. I’ve long considered these campaigns to be patronizing to a cartoonish degree. They never gave a shit about trans or LGBT who aren’t also affluent. They also don’t care about the hate speech they’re condoning, they just put on whatever false face they believe will maximize profit.
It doesn’t have to be like this, but this is what our economy rewards, sociopathic greed. We’d have to change the shape and priorities of our economy to reward prosocial behaviors and vocations, and punish individualistic greed based vocations, if we wanted that to change. That would require painful revolution as our government is completely captured, and we’re sadly too chickenshit.
Fuck, it’s so damn scary what’s happening in the lead-up to trump’s takeover. All the billionaires and corps backing up the führer. Friends, stay strong out there!
The lgbtq community voted for Trump so imo they are getting their just desserts.
I mean some of them did, probably. It’s a diverse group, can’t really lump everyone together outside of being not straight and/or not cis.
Dystopic
If you think this doesn’t affect you, just wait until they come for your lo-fi theme. Don’t be silent about this.
They know who their users are
how are the meta shareholders ok with zuck burning down the company?
who do you think told him to delete them?
They’re probably more afraid that Trump will burn the company down.
Now you can see the true colors of CEOs: they don’t really care about minorities, scientific facts, or the truth itself. They only care about aligning with the current leader’s ideas to make more money
i wonder what would happen if both the upcoming president and the vice got assassinated, how would the lizard corp react?
Only one way to find out
This shouldn’t surprise anyone. Rainbow capitalism has always been a sham.
Yeah, anyone who thought the big DEI push was anything more than virtue signaling got taken for a ride.
I bet someone in Meta is saying to someone else right now:
“But the pride rainbow covers both of them and more!”
Facebook is now a site by, of, and for chuds. You are allowed to talk about beer (not the gay kind) and wrestling (not the gay kind) and how much you love beards (not the gay kind) and THAT’S IT.
Holy cuck, the Zuck is such a fuck.
What in the holy fuck?
I don’t agree with the loosened moderation rules, but at least there is a logical explanation. But removing these 2 color options is just targeted hate towards these minorities.
PieFed has a trans theme, btw
Finally
I hope you stub your toe
You got to make a show for the king.
If I could, I’d like to ask these groups one simple question.
Why hate? Tell me what it is that makes you see another group of people with a different lifestyle or background, or culture, or anything else that you’re not a part of, and you default to hating that group.
I’ve never understood that concept. I can understand hating individuals, because those individuals are assholes. I have plenty of people throughout my life where I’ll say “Ugh, Gary is an asshole!”. But I don’t sit here and say “THOSE people are assholes!”
Because it’s perfectly fine to judge people. It’s actually important to judge people. But you can’t judge whole groups as one. It doesn’t work. Because EVERY group has good and bad. That’s just the nature of humans. So if you judge a whole group as one, you’re missing the point of judging. To judge someone is to analize their traits as a person. If you try to do that with a group, there’s too much variation to come to any conclusion, and at that point it’s not fair judgement, it’s just hate.
Which brings us back to “Why hate?”
And I want anyone from these groups who are transphobic, or maybe other groups that are racist, or maybe other groups that are hateful towards any gender, I want them to explain their hate. I want them to lay out their logic.
Because I assume they’ll spew out some hateful statement like “They’re always doing this and this”. And I would challenge them on that.
“When did they do this and this?”
Or maybe they’d say “Because they have menal illness!” And I’d say “So you hate people with mental illness? If someone in your family develops dementia, you’ll hate them too?”
Every sentence they take I’d challenge them to make a logical explaination of it. Because I don’t think they can. And 9/10 of them I don’t think will change. However, I think you’ll get some people who realize “Wait…am I wrong? Am I being an asshole? Oh my god I’M the asshole here!”
