Yeah I was going to recommend the film too, of course it is narrativized in many ways in the way big budget movies like this are, but I also think it does a better job than The Wolf Of Wallstreet at NOT making the villains unironically look cool at the end even though the takeaway is supposed to be that the villains are bad.

This is also a decent list of stuff to check out.

No Zuckerberg made it to browse through all of the hot women at his school with other men more efficiently.

Facebook was conceived as a way to browse a web store of “female objects” easier.

Boys using toys for exactly what Men made them for…

ughhhhhh

I mean why did Zuckeberg make Facebook in the first place? The throughline here is direct.

No, that is the healthiest/least draining thing to do, the militant and most effective thing to do is relentlessly shit on corporate social media with your old corpo account while moving the rest of your social identity to the fediverse.

Obnoxiously link to the fediverse, talk about it unprompted, strip mine the relevance of your posts to the algorithm before you leave.

I am not saying everyone has to do this, I am not even necessarily recommending it as a general suggestion but this is clearly the best way to hate on billionaire social media and fight back against it. If you have the energy, don’t throw away the value of your social connections to the corpo algorithm without first converting as much as possible of it to awareness of the fediverse and how shitty corpo social media is, if your objective is to fight as hard as possible.

edit corporate social media is toxic as hell, I make this point not as a judgement of people who just log out and never log back in to corporate social media, take care of yourself, this strategy is for if you have the mental headspace to do it.

Do Both

Where I draw the line for whether it is ethical to light things on fire is when they start destroying rare knowledge and books as fast as possible for no other reason than to hoard and obscure knowledge for private benefit.

It is one thing to fund the creation of knowledge and then hoard it, it is entirely another to begin actively attacking and destroying pre-existing publicly shared resources of knowledge in the pursuit of monetizing access to that very knowledge behind a gargantuan profit motivated entity.

and I mean it is a job that gets blood on your hands, homie.

If they don’t want that baggage, they can deploy their golden parachute and go head another company/organization.

Stop carrying water for these people.

You can’t just pretend having some arbitrary connection to Kevin Bacon is the same as being all the way at the top of the power structure of one of the most powerful entities on earth that is actively seeking profit from an ongoing Genocide.

Hi, supersquirrel here, are you tired of people scamming you out of money with emails tantalizingly asking you to help start a realllllly profitable business in a foreign country?

Well, I have a solution for you! Pay me lots of money and I will tell you EXACTLY what you want to hear about those scammers/business opportunities!

Whoever has that job also very likely has blood on their hands from being involved in facilitating (or remaining silent about) the Palestinian Genocide with Microslop products like Azure and other computing services, so FUCK them, pile the misery on to them until they crumble into dust as a person for all I care.

Microslop is a tiny scrappy start-up company, give them some slack and patience, they can’t just throw virtually unlimited money at the problem to solve it…

Meh just accelerate with F-force and then switch to G-force when you are up to speed and vice versa when slowing down, problem solved!

All Flock Cameras are unauthorized! The idea that people want them by majority is absurd to me, people hate them.
