    I like that he believes he is part of the “cultural elite class,” and not just another rich douchebag trying to make anything they can touch worse for a few extra dollars to add to their already overflowing wealth.

    Dear Zuckerberg.

    You have enough money, you have three options.

    1. Buy an island, build a big mansion, and just live the good life, away from public view, just slow down.
    2. Do what your friend who created Myspace does, get a camera and a good laptop, and live the life of a nomadic photographer, you have zero money issues, you can just travel and take cool photos.
    3. Continue being a fucking dickhead, screwing up the world further trying to get a bigger high score, which won’t materially change your life in any way.

    Please stop choosing 3, your life will be soo much easier if you do, you will also make soo many other people’s lives way easier.

    Block all Meta domains, stop them profiting from your browsing data! Even if you don’t use Instagram, Facebook or whatever they’ll track you across the web with third-party assets.

    social media users — should “become the new kind of cultural elites.”

    I haven’t been on Facebook or other Meta-owned properties for a few years, but if I remember correctly social media users definitely shouldn’t be considered cultural elites.

      Okay but consider that some people have a little blue star that says “verified” next to their names. Shouldn’t that mean they’re better than us?

    They are not even trying to hide it anymore. We are officially at the let them eat cake part of the show.

      Well, it has been about 90 years since the last time things led up to a world war and societies tend to cycle through stuff over and over again. Now that everyone from that last major conflict is dead it is time for a reboot!

      We just reached a point where they feel confident in going full mask off. They have subverted the american democracy and are poised to do it elsewhere too, and can pursue their hideous goals more openly.

        Bingo. We’ve been building toward this moment for decades. The pessimist in me doesn’t think we’ll be able to turn things around without massive upheaval and bloodshed.

      The Shit Show continues after a 4 year break. The previous season finale was pretty spicy, so I have high expectations for the next episodes. It’s popcorn time agin. 🍿
