I don’t know what version of reality you live in but i hope these articles are illuminating
I can't imagine why you are getting push back. I can tell you are very passionate in your position and are on the right side of a complicated issue. The only reason I can think of is your idea hasn't become mainstream yet and people hate it when they don't know they should be upset.
Either way I have no skin in it and I agree that meta is garbage. Thank you for be passionate about something in this dispassionate world.
:3
I'd imagine is because Myanmars situation is way more complicated than Facebook "undoubtedly caused a genocide".
Seems like it's getting trivialized to shit on Facebook
Facebook deserves every ounce of shit it has coming to them.
True.
But do you believe the actual people commiting the genocide and manipulating Facebook shouldn't be held accountable for their actions?
They don’t, they just really really hate social media. That’s why they’re here, after all.
🙄 I guess the years of violence well before hand we their fault too. Imagine trying to tie years off violence and genocide to Facebook.
It'll always be Burna to me.
It will always be ... a name that doesn't exist and has never existed?
(Hint: BURMA. It's hard to sound smart when you can't even get a single fucking name right! Especially the name that "it will always be" for you. Holy fucking shit!)
You wrote all that over an obvious typo? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
An "obvious" typo you missed when you wrote it. When you read it back after posting. In a post where you were putting on airs of being smarter than everybody.
I fucking love it when that happens and love to rub it in.
Lololol it's a typo 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Screaming about typos in a comment 🤦♂️ peak reddit, oh I mean lemmy
