So at the beginning of the pandemic I said it would take about 5-7 years for people to figure stuff out using heuristic learning methods.

There is literally no better example of textbook fascistic thinking than "Who cares about human rights when the rich are doing so very well"
Bondi crashes out over Epstein: "The Dow is over 50,000 dollars! I don't know why you're laughing. You're a great stock trader as I hear, Raskin. The Dow is over 50,000 right now. The S&P at almost 7,000, and the Nasdaq smashing records. That's what we should be talking about."

The act of writing down something as openly malignant and reprehensible as that speaks volumes, not just of the individual who wrote it, but of the culture at Meta that openly plots against our rights.

I hope every single person who wears these in public ends up with a broken nose and other painful injuries.
I also hope that regular glasses-wearers don't get fallout from this stupid, privacy-violating shit & that Meta is sued into oblivion and all its C suite ends in prison.

Facebook plans to put facial recognition in its glasses and they think we’re too stupid to fight back.
Their internal memo: “We will launch during a dynamic political environment where many civil society groups that we would expect to attack us would have their resources focused on other concerns.”

- herpes simplex virus causes cold sores, genital herpes, infections in babies, deadly meningitis
