Man, this really isn’t the future I was picturing when I was growing up, but here we are.
“The Internet of the future will be amazing! People will use it to voluntarily enrich their minds, and freedom and peace will reign!”
Actually: Nazis
This is something I struggle to accept every day of my life.
As if it wasn’t obvious enough that nazi posters have special protected status on social media platforms. The report buttons do nothing against them.
That’s crazy talk. The report buttons work exactly as intended for racist accounts. Every time someone reports them they make 50 cents.
:sigh: I hate when people just tell outright lies for clicks.
Did bad people get money from Meta? Yes.
Did Meta actively pay bad people to post bad content? NO. This is like saying that Youtube had hired people to post AI videos targeting children because they pay people part of the advertising they sell on videos. It is not the same thing at all.
If a Walmart employee beats you up while they’re on the clock, these twits would post “WALMART HIRED AND PAID PEOPLE TO BEAT INNOCENT PEOPLE UP”.
Am I saying Meta is great? No1 Fuck you no! But is this headline bullshit? YES IT IS.
Meta’s “financial model is to reward content creators who get engagement, and as we know, the best way of getting engagement is to produce rage bait, extremist material, aggravating material: anything that will get people upset and arguing is the best way to get engagement.”
That tracks.
Facebook spent years claiming it couldn’t control what its platform amplified: Apparently it gets much easier when it’s time to write the checks.
Imagine what his ancestors would think of Zuckerberg when if they could read this.
Nazism have gotten a deliberate revival in the western information sphere.
We had the same celebration of Nazi c*nts in Canada, where Trudeau pulled out an old Ukrainian Nazi, and let him be paraded in their parliamentarian chambers - together with Zelensky oc.
If we go further back, we see that a throng of nazi’s from old Germany/Europe was saved/relocated and protected by the Western psycho Oligarchy, that was just waiting to trigger them again later.
We even see that many of the current unelected top EU elite have families that have close connections to this archaic and disgusting ideology, through parents, or grandparents.
We see techlords that have WAY to close connections, and families that openly express similar attitudes.
What is especially interesting, is that the situation in Ukraine was escalated by US through local Nazi groups that were also nurtured since 1990’ies by the US/CIA, and we see how Ukraine is controlled by Nazi groups today (they all have Bandera and Nazi signs everywhere and their nazi groups vocally confirms it despite being told to hide it now).
My bet is that Meta worked closely with US oligarchy, to manipulate the western population towards accepting nazi attitudes, as something more normal, and hopefully for them, nurture a new breed of nationalists ready to kill others for the Zuck and the Epsteins…

Very high quality in general.
