The robotic amoral Zuckerberg that we have come to know as a villain, surely not that one!?

No, the super cool perm having, gold chain wearing, bow hunter would never?! He loves to smoke meats, and he's totally just like us!

While I'm not surprised zuck would do such a thing I'm weirded out that one of the CIA's propaganda arms wants us to know it 🤔

TL; DR

Tldr: It's a declassified CIA dock talking about funding the RFA to make anti communist propaganda in the 1950's

[–] tja@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Okay, I don't see the connection here?

[–] StinkySocialist@lemmy.ml 7 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Ah ok the article that OP posted is from the RFA (radio free asia)

I'm wondering why an anti communist propaganda arm of the USA is putting out anti billionaires sentiment.

Edit: Does that make more sense stranger?

If you're on facebook, you're part of the problem.

The only reason I keep my FB account active is so my mum can send me things she finds funny online, she's not the greatest with technology stuff so getting her on something else wouldn't work unfortunately, but for as long as she's still here and sending me things, I'll keep it open.

Most of us do the same. I haven’t heard anyone in my circle of friends that praises facebook for anything but keeping in touch with people.

[–] dumbass@leminal.space 4 points 3 months ago

I'd like to be shocked by this, but I'm not.

Bruh, the whole west participated in china's censorship, from Cisco to Siemens. But I guess it's pupular to hate on Zucc now.
