Already the most disliked man in America, Zuckerberg will show with his next era whether he believes in anything as much as he does power. Was his interest in jiu-jitsu mixed martial arts authentic or a way to ingratiate himself with the manosphere’s podcast hosts? We may know by the time he faces his first inquest. Perhaps he’ll return to the liberal roots of his former public image like founding a pro-immigration nonprofit, as he did a decade ago.
I’m not down for murdering folks without due process. That being said, if one dispassionately measures the good done vs the harm caused, throwing every billionaire into the sea — even the “good ones” — the math suggests more good would be done then harm. Sometimes it’s difficult to reconcile the morality of not murdering them.
We need a shitload of Luigis to take the moral hit, leaving the rest of us to be innocently outraged. I, for one, would be the first to write a sternly worded online comment.
“If some good ones die, fuck it, the lord will sort em.”

I encourage you to read up on The Terror.
All of those tens of thousands of guillotine victims weren’t wealthy. Not even close. They were you and me. Only a tiny few were wealthy.
Recommend “Paris in the Terror” by Loomis.
Over 80% were commoners. People love to romanticise revolutions, but the reality has always been trading one wealthy ruling class for the next save perhaps Haiti.
Like members of ICE etal?
Ohno, so we get a handful of billionaires and a boatload of Jan6ers, Christian Nationalist and White Supremacists… failing to see a downside.
They’ll follow the money. Cozy up to Democrats, change their public image, and keep influencing policy behind the scenes. Different party, same game.
Not wrong if Schumer and Hakeem keep their leadership rolls then all our efforts Tuesday will be for nothing.
Exactly. The stupidity of the Republicans only serves to highlight how savage the unbridled capitalist system in the U.S.A has always been. Deep down, the Democrats support the same thing, but (being savvier) they know how to disguise it.
The goal of the blues is the same as that of the reds (to increase social inequality), though the latter are clearly more crude than the former. They only differ on cultural issues, in order to give the public the impression that they are vastly different.
Politics in America is theater, a WWE game, which is why the two-party system is referred to as the Uniparty.
Dems have a fuckton more house clearing to do before billionaires need to worry about a fucking thing, but at least it will go faster now because a lot more Dems will need to vote against in order to prevent passage, instead of the one-off “take one for the team” carousel of status-quo enablers.
Shrivel and die, hopefuly
I wish to quote here the inestimable Lt. Worf.
Die.
They will throw money at democrats. It’s imperative for us to keep tabs on which ones accept their money. And AIPAC’s money.
they’ll just do pride month again
Maybe they might throw in some performative internal bullshit too like a DEI book club.
Same thing they do every day, Pinky, try to take over the world!
they already have a network set up in the dnc. we need to root out the batards in the dnc first before we talk about mission complete
I have a suggestion for them: they can go fuck themselves.
Hopefully the Democrats won’t chicken out and regulate the fuck out of them. Break Google, Meta, X, all of them up. Tax the fuck out of them.
They won’t do shit
You’re right, they won’t. They serve the same masters
They will agree, after much donation, that regulation is needed.
The regulation will protect current asset holders and IP rights, while limiting its utility to the individual and creating moats to competitors. They will do this by fear mongering buzz words like “national security” and “think of the children”.
Meanwhile the wealthy already have the hardware and open models to run whatever shady BS they want, while the consumer will get to rent the highly regulated corporate controlled versions that harvest your data and tell you what they want you to know.
They will cozy up to Democrats, and celebrate on stage with them when they take the Presidency.
In return for all of that “coziness” (i.e. donations), Democrats will continue their longstanding policy of not returning to pre-Reagan taxation for corporations and the wealthy (a 50-year tradition)
We need to release Luigi and give him an army.
Fuck the tech bros and their eagerness to fuck all the people for fun and profit. I am buying a paper notebook and a pencil and some stamps. That’s my internet motherfuckers. I don’t even have to subscribe to anything and pay a monthly fee. ISP’s, we see you and we are starting to look in your direction.
They’ll pretend they’re progressive again
