I cannot think of a bigger cuck move than bending over to court bad faith actors and suckling at king maga's sweaty little man nipples for $$

I hate everything about this comment, but you're not wrong.

You're on a website where people come out of the woodwork to defend "ethical polyamory" and the biggest cuck you can think of is a CEO trying to curry political favor with the current US president?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 hours ago

...., Being poly doesn't make you a cuck

I think what most companies actually need is more QA energy 😅

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I hate this, because the idea comes from Hermetic spirituality, but from a very cherry picked version of it that basically says "Be as shitty a person as you want, give into your natural inclinations and vices"

I know because I've seen this A LOT!

Because the actual Seventh Principle of Hermeticism does not say to do this, it actually says to balance the masculine and feminine within yourself to acknowledge both as being geniunely within you. It also encourages that the two shouldn't be seen as opposites but rather two endpoints on a vast spectrum, the same way we see hot and cold.

But sadly too many "Gurus" somehow warped this into

"Reject femininity, see it as weakness, and be a massive chauvinistic asshole."

When that couldn't be further from what it's saying.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

So I watched the entire three hour interview.

Technically speaking, Zuckerberg emphasizes the need for balance. He on multiple times either emphasizes that both men and women should feel comfortable in corporate environments, and explicitly says something like "there has to be a balance" on at least two occasions.

The issue is that other parts of the interview don't really match that idea of balance. Zuckerberg and Rogan spent like a third of the entire interview talking about bro culture stuff. I'm not even talking about "bro culture in the context of corporate America". Rogan spends like a full ten minutes lecturing Zuckerberg on the proper way to bow hunt.

Overall I think the media is focusing outrage bait while ignoring the serious implications of the interview. Zuckerberg is clearly lobbying the Trump administration to prevent meta and other US tech companies from being subject to EU regulatory security. It has serious implications both as a consumer and in terms of geopolitics.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

I really wish CEOs would stop and ask "If I wasn't the CEO, would I want this regulation to exist?"

But that requires them to have empathy.

I hate outrage bait, as you pointed out it makes us blind to the REAL danger, which is... Zuckerberg trying to get out of playing by the rules.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 13 hours ago

I agree. Ironically he also went on a bit of a rant about how the traditional media outlets whittle down interviews to the most salacious bits, and that's part of the reason the American public is slowly losing trust in them.

While the reason for him saying this is to discredit his previous perception as robotic, he's also not wrong. All the articles I read "highlighting" the interview hyper focused on a few lines, and in doing so left and incomplete or dishonest impression.

Zuck: "we never let gender play a role in our hiring process."

Also Zuck: "yeah, we need to hire more men."

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's the old "Male is normal, Female is special" logical fallacy, he only wants to hire people who'd get hired under "Normal" circumstances

[–] matlag 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I don't think he even cares. He wants to appeal to MAGA's bosses.

In 4 years, if Dems take back power, he will make a vibrant speech about the need for diversity and to tackle fake news.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 22 hours ago

Agreed, he's just picking which side he thinks is currently winning the cultural war.... and "Woke" being universally considered a bad thing does point to the Right winning that war, but.... there are Leftist Arguments against Woke as well so not really.

(Replace the word "Woke" with "Rainbow Capitalism" and you have the Leftist Argument against it)

[–] KnowledgeableNip 33 points 2 days ago (29 children)

He knows he'll never make up the loss of subscribers on the left since he's burned those bridges so he has to double down on the far right to carry his platform.

This way he gets to compete with X for a race to the bottom and see who can gather the most shitbags to support their plateauing businesses.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

"he has to" does he though? He has enough money for him and his entire lineage to live lavishly for eternity. He can dip out today and stop working forever, relax on a beach, and disconnect from the world like Tom from MySpace did.

He's not being forced to do anything.

This is dystopia. The people in control of society pushing insane spiritualist cult mentalities to obfuscate their role in a genocidal empire.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago

Maybe, but he's damn sure cucked. Dude 100% has a chair in the corner of his bedroom facing the bed.

Had a ex-friend who went real hard last year about feeling his masculinity has been challenged. Went deep into the manosphere language. He was extra annoying. Every convo was about how he, a white man in America, was being repressed. He started labelling random shit as masculine/feminine. Got sick this and stopped inviting him.

A few months later, I learned the divorce was finalized and he's been sending me invites to hang with him in his bachelor pad. Nah dog you suck now.

[–] [email protected] 178 points 3 days ago (14 children)

yeah and i bet that shit was the reason for the divorce. i got a friend who lost her husband down the right wing rabbithole and now she's processing the grief of losing someone she loved to something so goddamn stupid

I don’t think so, but don’t let that stop you from shooting your shot if your believe you can make him a happy man.

When I think of masculine energy I sure as hell don't think of Marky Z.

He’s right about one thing: There is a serious lack of actual masculinity among our leaders.

Most public figures who try to present some form of “masculinity” are just desperate and petty, willing to sacrifice nothing to earn their status, and eager to degrade others to look better by comparison.

A real man produces more than he needs, but takes only that much and ensures the rest goes to those who are less able to sustain themselves. They protect the defenseless, elevate those who are ignored, and invest in a future they won’t personally live to enjoy.

Show me a real man among you. It’s not femininity keeping you from finding one. It’s your own greed and hubris.

The gender identity of your work places energy is not the damn problem. Raise the damn pay. People will work in a sewer if you paid enough.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

People working in a sewer should be paid the most.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

I think meta pays pretty well

I feel like tech and finance bros turn to the right because bad guys who think they're good get tired of being told by educated people that they are objectively bad guys. And instead of changing, they end up seeking spaces that will reward them for being bad guys and will allow them to ignore or disparage those offering valid criticism.

Most companies just need more ppl that actually work rather than doing politics and profiting off of the 30% working personnel.

maybe you should start with humanoid energy you fucking lizardbot

[–] [email protected] 47 points 2 days ago (9 children)

I assume by more masculine energy, Zuckerberg means:

  • More posturing by Matt Walsh, Ben Shapiro, Jordan Peterson and Donald Trump, the US exemplars of manhood.
  • Trolls, more trolls, trolls trolling trolls. People fucking with anyone else that makes them uncomfortable.
  • People boasting about how rich they are, how fast their car goes, and how many women they bed. Comparisons. Leaderboards.
  • Doxing. So much doxing.
  • So much AI porn. So much futa AI porn.
  • So much misogyny. All the misogygy. Al Misogyny. Misogyny leaderboards.
  • Tons of hate speech against the targets of the week. Immigrants, trans folk, Jews Arab Muslims, libs (not liberals, neoliberals or left-wingers, libs )

Essentially Zuck wants Facebook to become 4chan/b... or 4chan/pol, only where everybody knows your name.

I like the thought of masculine and feminine energies wafting around like medieval miasmas.

This guy is smart.
