Meta stock SLIDES as Zuckerberg goes Republican, announces "intense" layoffs
Over 3,000 Meta employees will be fired in what Zuck calls "a very intense year."
The people are winning! Meta and Mark Zuckerberg are LOSING!
This, is good news because billionaire and Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has recently made his appeal to the far-right even more glaringly obvious, as the Facebook/Instagram man plans to fire “thousands” of Meta employees during 2025.
He says he plans to fire 5% of Meta’s ~72,000 employees, which would be roughly 3,200.
This comes at a suspicious time, as Meta recently announced they’re removing DEI programs at the company, because diversity sucks, right? (sarcasm). Republicans have whined so much about DEI being a “woke mind virus” that is replacing white people, even though, the entire point of DEI is to create more opportunities for EVERYONE, especially since sometimes the most talented, qualified people for a job, is not the straight white guy with less experience who in the past was hired purely because of his gender, race, and religion. By the way, this is coming from a straight white male.
The misinterpretation of DEI has become a “mind virus” to the right, most recently seen during the LA wildfires, where you had Fox News and Republicans slamming LA’s Fire Chief for being an LGBTQ+ woman, even though she has 22 years of experience and helped save the city. Of course, Republicans switched sides fast and started supporting the “woke, DEI hire” Fire Chief as they called her, once they released that she stood at odds with LA’s Democratic mayor Karen Bass. But I digress...
Additionally, Meta’s shares slide just as Zuck announced the company is replacing “fact-checking” (what the fuck?) by copying Elon Musk and implimenting community notes like you now see on Twitter (or X, does anyone still go on that crappy site?).
This is yet another example of Zuck cozying up to the far-right, by showing Trump, Elon and other members of the MAGA cult that facts don’t matter on Facebook and Instagram anymore. The only things that matters to these fuckers are…
Money, lots of money… and power. Power is their main desire.
So how do we, the free Patriots of America, respond to this bullshit? Stop supporting Meta owned projects like Facebook, Instagram, and his fugly AI glasses.
The only way we can strike back against the impending oligarch of billionaires running the “free” world is by gaining a collective class consciousness, by hitting them where it hurts them the most: their wallets.
