don’t do a nazi salute, you’ll just end up making it socially acceptable. Middle finger instead.

oh zuck is such a lizard-person.

Bezos’ entire personality gets me fuming; I would want to punch him even if he weren’t a billionaire. (Remember that time he talked over William Shatner touchdown?)

Musk honestly looks ok to me personally, I guess the gender-affirming surgeries went well. But the thought of what’s going on behind his eyes makes me want to punch him in the face real bad.

I think copyright lasting 20 years or so is not unreasonable in our current society. I’d obviously love to live in a society where we could get away with lower. As a compromise, I’d like to see compulsory licensing applied to all written work. (E.g., after n years, anyone can use it if they pay royalties and you can’t stop them; the amount of royalties gradually decreases until it’s in the public domain.)

I hate zuckerburg as much as anyone, but I find his face surprisingly low on the punchability index. Musk and Bezos at 1 and 2 for me.

The most generous interpretation of this that I can give is, “if I ransack the government, the government won’t be able to kill millions.” Questionable logic.

The guy just enjoys adding to the number of times “Hitler” is said online.

let’s have a tier list of billionaires by face punchability.

Thank you for explaining this. I didn’t know.

As a Canadian, I engage more with American politics online because more online content is American politics than Canadian.

In the distant future, when we look back on scattered social media caps, we will regret that the date of posting is not shown. Like scattered pages from books unknown, page numbers elided.

I thought it was not Proton who praised the GOP, but their CEO on his personal social media. It sounds like you are saying there is truth to the post – is it wrong to praise one’s opponents for doing something right? Is it not our inability to agree with our opponents even in the instances where we’re aligned with their objective that causes so much political gridlock?

I’m not going to pretend Hitler was a bad painter just because he was fucking evil. I’ll admit though – I wouldn’t want to have anything he painted in my home, even if I liked it.
