Man they’re not even doing the dog-whistle thing anymore, huh? Fucking disgusting, I hope he experiences the everlasting warmth of a car fire in the near future.

Maybe we blow up another Tesla.
If they don’t blow themselves up, that is.
Gee I wonder why he’s suddenly decided to start moving parts of the business to Texas… little Musk-ette over here…
All of this is very likely to kiss the ring of Herr Trump
Unfortunately it's a very rational choice to cozy up to an incoming fascist dictator.
"Rational"!? No, that's false. Though it might be reasonable for someone who works for a living. But the only thing they are risking is their "high score", nothing else. Literally nothing a billionaire does is rational, and that goes for every single one of them. I feel like we all constantly forget how much $1 billion is. https://mkorostoff.github.io/1-pixel-wealth/ These people have several or hundreds of times that! Don't forget they didn't actually earn it. Plus, it's still not enough. They choose to spend their time "working" and influencing governments instead of spending time with family. Power and money, they can never have enough...
Can you imagine your generational line's entire lives being paid for before they're even born plus the ability to literally solve suffering in society. Homelessness? Malnourishment? Drought? Hunger? The amount of wealth they sit on could literally solve any problem, anywhere in the world with a signed check and it wouldn't even affect their day-to-day life at all. They just choose not to. I can't imagine it. That's what's wrong with billionaires and why they're not rational at all...

I am surprised myself, but making progress of not using their products. For example did not buy any gift via Amazon this Christmas.

Not likely, obviously.
Meta was already enabling genocide in third world countries and countless other things but this is what caused chaos. Those employees have weird priorities, huh?
[edit] reworded slightly on the account of caused controversy
Not like they're a bunch of committed leftists working there.
Which is more likely to impact a Meta employee personally?
Not sure why you're being down voted, it's a fair point.
In fairness, do we know for certain what happened in Facebook back then? Maybe some employees did protest, maybe they're the same people protesting now, even. Or they quit. Thing is, LGBT issues make engaging articles. Third world suffering? Eh, it depends.
Yet, I agree with the overall point because this is the crux of the matter: on average, one of these simply matters more—one way or another, see transphobes cheering—for people of this subgroup. This is us.
The usual notes apply: good on them for protesting, big media isn't helping, fully ethical employment is like fully ethical consumption.

Fecesbook is crap. Crap take from a crappy data salesman with nothing but crap to sell. I can't wait until it eats itself from all the bots.
feel free to be heroes and leak meta's source code before leaving.
That’s a bit like emptying the sewer into the street
Better late than never.
i think I've finally reached peak zuckerberg, i don't want to read one more thing about facebook or meta or whatever

Question, and this may not be the perfect place for this, but is it the phrasing that LGBTQ is a mental "illness" that's the problem here, or that it's a mental attribute at all?
I'm an LGBT supporter, so I'm not coming at this from a place of malice, I suppose it's curiosity and ignorance. Don't we basically understand that the way we function as humans is all a part of our brain chemistry, and that certain deviations from the norm cause things like ADD, homosexuality, musical creativity, etc etc?
The word illness seems way too strong, as we as a society have decided we don't have anything against that personal trait/lifestyle/whatever, but as far as natural occurrences goes homosexuality must be considered a mental abnormality, no?
Again I don't want to get caught up in feelings here, because I think people will hear that and take offence to it since no one wants to be "abnormal" but that is the concensus is it not?
