I always knew Mark Zuckerberg was a far-right incel
From the Pages, or html files, of Spectator US [spectator.us], random barely coherent musings on the Facebook thing. Bear with us.
The #DeleteFacebook hashtag was been trending all yesterday on Twitter after it became known that Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has been involved in talks with a few well-known conservative influencers in recent months to discuss free speech and partnerships.
In a grossly misjudged attempt to keep Facebook a place for ‘balanced debate’ (also known as ‘hate speech’), and free from censorship (which as we all know is just alt-right code for ‘hate speech’), Zuckerberg has inadvertently displayed his true colors.
Zuckerberg’s forays into the inner cabals of the Dark Side are a result of Donald Trump’s allegations of ‘bias’ against conservatives at Facebook and other major social media companies. These allegations are completely ridiculous for two reasons:
They just are.
Even if true, what’s wrong with censoring conservatives?!I mean, seriously, Donald Trump talks about silencing conservatives as if that’s a bad thing. He doesn’t even have enough self-awareness to understand that preventing right-wing politicians and anyone who didn’t vote for Hillary from having a voice on social media is the only way we can stop the ugly tendrils of fascism from perpetuating its carcinogenic grip on society.
Well, that is a fair point, after all.
Every decent left-leaning person I know has rightly expressed their disgust and has tweeted their intent to delete their Facebook accounts in protest at this flagrant endorsement of the far-right. I myself created an account earlier today purely with the intent of ceremoniously deleting it later on this evening as my ‘Kickin’ Hitler’s Butt: Vintage Anti-Fascist Songs 1940-1944’ album plays in the background.
Zuckerberg’s betrayal comes as no surprise to me. He has always displayed worrying traits of a 4chan incel; an unhealthy obsession with the internet coupled with the cold hard stare of a man who’s never had to patiently explain the nuances of his non-binary status to a lifeguard before being able to fully enjoy their Lil’ Floaters Splash-free Swim session.
I have seen "burn" before, but none like this.
