They're so far up each other's asses and whacked outta their gourds on whatever drugs that they're honestly out of touch with reality. Gonna be a cold, cruel morning when the light of day finally reaches them.

100% this kind of techbro need to be cool and liked is one of the main drivers behind why our nation is fucked right now. Zuck, Musk and all of the other guys flipped right when people called them out on legitimate bullshit because they could find easy validation among the MAGA rubes, MRA choads, and conspiracy nutters. They sold out their platforms and the country for a tiny dose of external validation. Fragile little man-children.

This.

It's an absolutely unfair comparison for Camacho, who was a pretty good leader considering the setting of the film.

Zuck's eyes always look like they were cut out of his original body and hastily glued into his current one...

Also, fuck him and Meta for this bullshit. Greedy cowards.

I mean, you couldn't get him to look any more lobotomized if you tried. 10/10.

Plenty of them aren't. Some are just jaded from overwork and low pay. Others couldn't hack it as cops or firefighters and still need something to feel big about, and are pigs.

I'm sure they'd eventually expand the list, but what's shown on the screen could be thwarted with a thesaurus inside of thirty seconds. Which once again just goes to show how fucking shortsighted and dumb these bastards really are. They can't handle written communication at a third-grade level.

It must be exhausting being that insecure. Having to constantly disect everything, even if it doesn't involve you at all, for any miniscule slight so you can broadcast to everyone about your "superiority". I'm too tired for that shit.

Yup. People seem to still seem to believe that public opinion will somehow stop these assholes. It won't, it'll just get them to sic their fan boys on whatever source is reporting that opinion and push the propaganda more.

You're not wrong, a lot of these chuds, especially the tech bros, are obviously deeply insecure and have figured out they can't buy authenticity and coolness with money or power. That's where that brittle and mean bitterness they all have about other people living as they choose comes from. But it goes deeper than just emulating edgelords for kicks and covering up for their self-esteem issues.

Doing it and avoiding any tangible punishment or long term fallout demonstrates what a powerful, untouchable person he is to the boot-licking right wing base. The whole goal is to build an in group of followers that is protected with power and privilege (which ensures their loyalty) and this is a signal to them that he can do just that.

It's also a demonstration of unity in having a common enemy, and being willing to do anything to "win". Wether it's politics or a culture war, being willing to escalate is seen as a marker of strength. It's the only kind of political and social interaction they can understand.

You're right that he's likely not a hard core admirer of Hitler. It's not about a particular political standpoint, it's about having the power to do whatever he wants and making sure people know it.

It's the memory hole. Except they don't have to burn anything because it's all digital.

Of course it will. That's why he did it. They want to make the country as hostile as possible for their scapegoats.
