My mom believes the bullshit about LGBTQ being a mental illness. Can't wait for it to get worse! Thanks Facebook!

[-] baronvonj@lemmy.world 70 points 2 weeks ago

What do you mean "now?" I've been seeing people say that for years.

[-] cowfodder@lemmy.world 53 points 2 weeks ago

Yup, and if you reported it as hate speech they'd review it and say it doesn't go against community guidelines.

It's just they're updating their terms now that Trump is in power. Hate started to rise since the beginning of GenAI on the platform, I highly suspect due to the backlash from socially progressive people against it, and techbros didn't appreciate that. They're going mask off now after the elections.

greed is a mental illness.

billionaires are greedy.

the rich are a plague upon society and must be quarantined.

[-] Valmond@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

At a certain level ($10 million?) they stop being a symbiote and becomes a parasite.

Billionaires have mental illness and have negatively affected me and society as a whole more than any gay or trans person ever could.

[-] Fandangalo@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks ago

Immense wealth is not compatible with the moral life. It’s also not compatible with Christianity, but I don’t think any of them truly care about religion. The drive for greed should be a mental illness, especially when it’s at the cost of empathy.

When we start to say "bad things" about the oligarchy watch hoe fast they shut that down

[-] DarkCloud@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

The problem with western oligarchs is that they rarely step foot on public land ....so it's really hard to track their schedules let alone get a shoot shot off.

As far as internet content goes, hate is winning. All the major social media platforms have been overrun by sexist, racist, LGBTQphobic commentary. And these platforms will simply follow the money, pushing hate content via algorithms as good people leave the platforms.

[-] hushable@lemmy.world 24 points 2 weeks ago

And these platforms will simply follow the money

This, remember that every single pride sponsorship and rainbow coloured logo was approved by a marketing department after extensive market research deeming it to be profitable

[-] a1studmuffin@aussie.zone 12 points 2 weeks ago

And only broadcast in subregions of their market where they know it's a good PR move.

They put Dana White who heads the UFC on the board, all because Zuckerberg did Jujitsu... Jujitsu and the UFC has stange political affiliations to chechen forces Putin sometimes employs.

They're a hyper masculine male traditionalist culture. So it all ties back into that BS.

They call it "Sportswashing" - using Jujitsu to slide extremist politics onto someone. Zuckerberg fell tor it hook line and sinker. Libertarian to pro Russia pipeline. Anti-woke fascism in practice.

[-] Fizz@lemmy.nz 20 points 2 weeks ago

As a MMA enjoyer, Dana White being put in charge of anything is fucking scary. He is an extremely evil and ruthless man. He is so open about treating fighters like complete shit saying "its better to keep them hungry because then they are more motivated to preform".

Dana is at the forefront of Saudi sportswashing and pushing right wing culture on young men. He hooked trump up with Nelk and got Trump infront of massive influencers and their audiences.

Hearing Zuck speak longform a few years ago I actually thought he was left leaning and a reasonable guy. But that was bullshit, the guys morals are about as strong as a wet paper bag.

[-] barsoap@lemm.ee 6 points 2 weeks ago

because Zuckerberg did Jujitsu

LMFAO that coordination failure of a leek I have to see that.

I can't believe this exists. Watch carefully how Lex Fridman (yes that one) goes to great lengths to not kill Zuckerberg in training.

As to martial arts in general and assholery, I'll just leave this here.

[-] TheOakTree@lemm.ee 20 points 2 weeks ago

I like how he went from the Caesar cut and bland shirt to the style of what current-day 16-20 year old guys are rockin.

And by "like," I mean that I'm glad he still looks uncanny despite how normal his new style is, because he's a POS and nobody should sympathize with him.

[-] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

Now he just looks like Andy Dick.

[-] helmet91@lemmy.world 17 points 2 weeks ago

[-] fubo@lemmy.world 17 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Zuckerberg has a moral defect. Evil is not a medical problem.

[-] HenchmanNumber3@lemm.ee 5 points 2 weeks ago

Well, evil is a medical problem for other people, like those with profitably denied insurance claims.

[-] ZoDoneRightNow@kbin.earth 16 points 2 weeks ago

I left facebook after years of having meta not do anything about blatant transphobia and ableism that I reported to them. I got a death threat late last year and that was the final straw for me

[-] misk@sopuli.xyz 15 points 2 weeks ago

They always did because their moderators didn’t act upon old rules anyway.

[-] db2@lemmy.world 12 points 2 weeks ago

What I want to know is who thought it was a good idea to give the kid who ate rocks at recess for attention an international platform. Hmm?

[-] Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Is this a meme I don't know?

Zuck is extraordinarily intelligent. You don't get into Harvard as a non legacy eating rocks.

Nor did anyone give it to him. He took it by cheating the partners that made Facebook grow in it's early years.

[-] db2@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks ago

You're correct in the second half though. It doesn't take brains to steal, see November 5 2024.

[-] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 13 points 2 weeks ago

C'mon now. Don't do that. Be better than that.

What we have to understand, and accept is that the election was not stolen. It exists in a broken system where only a handful of states actually have votes that matter. And this time, those states willingly voted for trump. Texas was never going to vote for any democrat. California was never going to vote for any republican.

The few states that mattered, namely PA, voted trump.

It sucks, but thats what happened. You can't just call fraud because you don't like the gerrymandering and the oppressed voting. Those are issues to address in the years BEFORE the election. Start addressing them now for 2028.

[-] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 5 points 2 weeks ago

He won the popular vote, you can't blame that on gerrymandering.

It doesn't take brains to steal but you have to be a special kind of stupid to re elect Trump after his extraordinary failure of 2016-2020.

“It’s not right that things can be said on TV or the floor of Congress, but not on our platforms,”

I somewhat respect that statement actually.

[-] tfw_no_toiletpaper@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

?? If you go through insta reels and comments you will encounter a metric called "n words / minute", I don't think meta cared about moderation at any point

I thought it's widely-agreed that gender dysphoria is a mental illness. The debate lies in how to treat it—try to realign the body with the mind or the mind with the body.

[-] zeezee@slrpnk.net 19 points 2 weeks ago

Actually that's a common misconception - while gender dysphoria is listed in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) - it's not actually a mental disorder (similar to how the DSM includes physiological and environmental issues like Insomnia or Social Exclusion) - main reason it's there is for admin purposes and to facilitate treatment access.

However, a condition like body dysmorphia (think Anorexia Nervosa) is considered a mental disorder because the issue is the mind incorrectly perceiving the body - therefore it can be treated using psychotherapy which enables the mind to correctly perceive the body and prevent harm.

People who experience gender dysphoria on the other hand - actually correctly perceive their body (that's where the distress comes from) so psychotherapy doesn't work to alleviate this - as you can't therapy away an accurate perception (think gay conversion therapy)

Which is why after many decades of research the only treatment that's been found to work is aligning the body with the mind - as at that point the mind continues perceiving the body correctly but this time it's congruent with it's mental model which alleviates the distress.

Hope this helps :)

Fuck Meta and Zuck. I wish I could stop using WhatsApp, as every other Meta product is out of my devices already.
