@simon_brooke that assumes several things that are proven wrong:

  1. #TechBros didn't knew their #Algorithms (they do!)

  2. #GAFAMs were unable to change what gets #boosted by their own Algorithms. (OFC they can!)

  3. The same companies didn't knew the directly-linked damage they can if not cause, at least amplify (see #RohingyaGenocide in #Burma)

  4. #TechBro|s in #SiliconValley weren't #facist to begin with (I mean, #PeterThiel is more of a #norm than #exception!)

  5. That they never before sided with a #POTUS (In fact, they platformed #Trump and his #cult|ist #followers even after their failed #Coup and #HighTreason!)

  6. Said #CEO|s and #CTO|s are powerless to stop any of this (in fact, they could force Trump to resign if they wanted to!)

  7. That Trump exerts control over them (He could as.per #CloudAct but let's be honest, they control him more than he can control them!)

  8. That #TechCompanies from the #USA didn't endorse and platform #facists and #authoritatians (espechally in the #EU) until then.

  9. That the #US became hostile over night.

Until we build decentralized platforms & use them as they are designed (anti-capitalist, decolonized spaces) things like Meta are a necessary evil for those of us who rely on #CommunityCare

I don't make this rant to say #Strikes are wrong I say it with extreme pleading

BE RESPONSIBLE don't hurt the most marginalized just to throw around the weight of the people vs the #facists

You're throwing away those you claim to fight for the most

If you care to keep my family alive I need $907 in 13 hrs

The Fascists going on about a "two tier" policing system when now we see the sentences being handed out to them and everybody on the Left is comparing those sentences to those that Just Stop Oil got for their NON VIOLENT protest and are fucking livid

"We'll get you, you evil doers......but we won't send you down for as long as those nasty Environmentalists"

Fuck you Keir, you shit eating coward fuck

Timothy Snyder on #facists and what we are seeing today:

"In the Germany of the 1930s, business leaders were not necessarily enthusiastic about Hitler as a person. But they associated democracy with labor unions and wanted to break them. Seeing Hitler as an instrument of their own profit, business leaders enabled the Nazi regime. This was, in the end, very bad for business."
