That’s why it’s so pathetic: he doesn’t have to. If Bernie Sanders were elected, a wealth tax implemented, etc, Meta would still exist and his quality of life wouldn’t change at all. He chooses to suck up to Trump, which is about as “small dick energy” as you can get…
The philosopher Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king. Said Aristippus, “If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.”
Said Diogenes, “Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.” - 370 BC
At least in this story Aristippus is gaining something tangible, and presumably he was eating bread and lentils before he sucked up to the king. In Zuck’s story, before licking the orange butthole he already had everything. He had to taste spray tan and dingleberries to make his imaginary numbers say something slightly different on paper without changing anything about their impact on his life.
The King: RADICAL ANTI-MONARCHY TERRORISTS are using LENTILS to BAIT YOUR CHILDREN INTO SEX CULTS. This cannot be allowed to continue!!! We MUST remove ALL LENTILS from ANY CIVILIZATION IN THE WORLD IMMEDIATELY.
For some, human pride and dignity have literally no value, or is something they will hold simply to trade it off whenever convenient, especially in a world that can value it, so it’s just like a commodity.
What’s the point of being a billionaire if you still have to kiss ass. What a loser.

Yup, and all so he can get even richer.

Also when Alexander visited him he told Diogenes to ask him for whatever he wanted. He said ‘Could you step aside and get out of my sun?’
It’s impressive and also a little bit depressing how accurate that quote is from almost 2,500 years ago. Shows humanity really doesn’t change.
but the King overheard and thought “I have to make lentils so much more expensive then…”
In a rich man’s house, there’s no where to spit except for his face.
If I were not teft, I would be Diogenes.
The whole road to the top is lined with asses to kiss. Why would Zuck stop now?
