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.

From the looks of things, about $4 worth of property was seized...

Granted...

However, the lyrics seem to be sung from the point of view of someone who turned to crime after the system failed them, and the Clash make it sound defiant and powerful despite the outcome.

It's time to settle some grievances with the Law.

EDIT: I mean, just imagine that first guitar riff coming in right after someone kicks Thomas square in the nuts as the opening salvo... beautiful.
