I like that the article consistently refers to Meta as what it is, an adtech giant that also runs social media platforms rather than the other way around.

Except for the Brother printer everyone has.

Hybrid is not electric, it’s not ICE either, that’s why it’s called Hybrid!

Hybrid means “both this and that”, not “neither this nor that”. I’m pretty sure kids learn that in elementary school, middle school at the very latest 🤦

You’re also wrong about the rest but I don’t care enough about your nonsense to go into further detail.

Yes, I’ve been taken prisoner by the concept that unnecessary censorship is a bad thing. Good deduction, Sherlock. 🙄

Holy strawmen, Batman! You’ve assembled an entire hay loft of them there, gramps!

At first I thought you were coming from a place of bias and baseless stereotyping but now I know for a fact that you are.

Get out of the way and let people younger than your apparent 80 years express themselves how they want to.

Look I’m not a prude or some kinda anti-sex freak but

proceeds to rattle off a bunch of prudish anti-sex talking points followed by “trust me, I have a degree” 🤦

Agreed on both counts 😁

Me neither! I wonder which one it’ll be!

Nah, as far as I remember from the last time I accidentally paid attention to him, he’s more like one of those “homesteader libertarians” who believe everyone should just mind their own business in whatever situation their own family can afford for them and neither workers, minorities nor people with disabilities should ever receive any assistance that wealthy white people wouldn’t need.

A real “guns don’t kill people, but letting government stop disadvantaged people from needlessly dying kills my boner” type of guy.

Personally I never liked him, his meme, or his blatant Marty Stu show, so I like how pathetic he is in reality 😁

Chuck Norris is a Republican senior citizen, though. He wouldn’t feel safe in ANY city.

The “throw police at problems mostly caused by poverty and inequality” reaction tracks too, though.

Not according to the regressive dogma YOU’RE spewing 🤦

Progressives

Yeah, those of us who want humanity to progress rather than stagnate or even regress. So awful of us 🙄

who don’t believe in God

Leave your imaginary sky daddy out of it.

support murdering disabled people

Nah, that kind of thing is done by regressive monsters who are religious, superstitious or both. Like the nazis you’re referring to. They were religious, superstitious and not the least bit progressive. They were fascists.

Disabled people with families who take care of them don’t need government assistance

What fucking century do you live in where you think amateurs are better at dealing with disabilities than medical professionals??

Unfortunately there are some people who need the government to take care of them.

Yeah, literally everyone, in matters great and small. That’s what government is there for. To help and support all of the people who need it.

I should also point out that if someone relies on their family for care, they only have the rights that their family allows them

Ah, the century would be the 1700s if not earlier. That’s not how the law works, fundie.

No. Absolutely not.

Terminal cancer patients can’t take care of themselves either, do you want to take their rights away too?

What about people with disabilities that require constant care, should they become “wards of the state” with fewer rights than children again like in the bad old days?

use of drugs should be decriminalized, but it should also come with other responsibilities

Do you want to do that with alcohol and tobacco too, or just the ones that the rich and powerful consider taboo?

For example, a government organized intervention and mandatory rehabilitation.

One size fits all mandates are a recipe for disaster. Depending on the individual case, you end up either violating the patient’s right to bodily autonomy, refusing needed help because the mandate says it’s not time yet or both.

Better to leave the medical decisions to medical professionals. They’re much better at it than even the best politicians and/or parliamentarians.

Depending on how much money the person has, they should be required to pay for it

Absolutely not. Means testing like that breeds resentment and often leads people between a rock and a hard place where they’re too wealthy to get it for free but not wealthy enough that they won’t have make sacrifices they might not think to be worth it.

Rich or poor, cost should never be a determining factor in whether or not to seek needed healthcare.

We should have a welfare state. It should also come with responsibilities.

People have enough responsibilities already without the government making demands in order to give them healthcare that they need.

When someone needs help battling addiction, the caring thing isn’t to check whether they’ve worked hard enough to be allowed to work hard.

Seldom have I been more happy to already not like any of a company’s products! What a bunch of idiotic antedeluvian moralizing hyperauthoritarian assholes!

usually without being arrested by the police

That’s the good part, though. Problematic drug use is a health problem and should be treated as such rather than a criminal and moral one.

And that’s not even mentioning what often happens when cops interact with members of any marginalized group…

Wow, that’s MUCH less revenue than you’d expect from a worldwide behemoth like the shithole formerly known as Twitter!

6% of their revenue is probably still billions of dollars. Might even amount to the biggest fine ever.

If you think it isn’t, you clearly haven’t been paying attention to all of racism in general and hypercapitalist neofascism in particular.
