    To everyone upvoting because you think Zuck is a fascist, OP almost certainly posted this thinking that calling him a facist for this is the laughable part.

        Look at their other posts. I don’t think that’s the case, though I also wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt.

          Yeah, considering what their most recent post was, they are onboard with the fascist.

      I know that Zuckerberg does things that harm society as a whole, but just changing bathroom amenities is not fascist.

      This is degrading the meaning of the word.

      Although, musk did start with small steps too and I would consider musk aligned with fascists, based solely on his recent remark regarding eu politics.

        It’s all about context. This action by itself means almost nothing.

        But once you start asking why he’d do this, and why he’d do it now in particular, and looking at other actions he’s also taken recently, it gains a lot more meaning. This step in particular is closer to “dog whistle” than “blaring siren” on the spectrum, but everything taken together, including this, paints a clear picture.

        He’s clearly been taking steps to align himself and his company with the new administration. If you take the new administration to be fascists, then it becomes reasonable to say Zuckerberg’s going all-in on fascism.

      I mean, historically being anti-trans is very fascist. One of the first things the Nazi did when they had power was to destroy the world’s first transgender clinic in Berlin.

          Being anti-trans doesn’t make one a fascist.

          I didn’t claim it did. No single thing makes anyone a fascist, by definition a multifaceted belief system.

          Not all transphobes are fascist, but all fascist are transphobes.

          When you combine being a transphobe with putting his thumb on the scale to tilt the world’s conversation toward conservatism, this is just one more data point for his fascist tendencies

          There’s the further portion of Zuckerberg micro managing a detail he really should not care one bit about one way or another. Exerting excessive control over folks for whatever reason bears resemblence to fascism.

    One of the richest men in the world is scared of a tampon.

    How is it that “the most powerful men” are always scared of having their masculinity hurt by the tiniest things?

      Well, they don’t spend all of their time stepping all over other people to amass wealth because they are well rounded folks who care about other people. They do it because they have fragile egos.
