      The philosopher Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king. Said Aristippus, “If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.”

      Said Diogenes, “Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.” - 370 BC

      That’s why it’s so pathetic: he doesn’t have to. If Bernie Sanders were elected, a wealth tax implemented, etc, Meta would still exist and his quality of life wouldn’t change at all. He chooses to suck up to Trump, which is about as “small dick energy” as you can get…

    Imagine being one of the wealthiest people in the world and still having to suck septagenerian donkey dick in order to be “allowed” to do what you want with all your wealth and power.

      It must be horrific to talk to Trump in person. He smells horrible, his moods swing constantly, he has incredibly stupid takes on issues you are an expert in, and he requires constant praise. If you take your hot wife with you he’ll be ogling her constantly. Nurses probably go out of their way to see another patient when he’s at the hospital.

      Now you are one of the richest men in the world, and you have to pretend you like him. I mean, something must be seriously wrong with you if you got fuck-you money and still degrade yourself to those levels.

      Tech bros are new money. The oligarchs who own all R’s, and most of the D’s, are old guard generational wealth dynasties spanning the most powerful industries — energy/commodities (fossil fuels, mining, petrochem, etc), wall street, the MIC, big agriculture, big pharma, media and telecommunications.

      Those are the oligarchs who want Russian/Chinese style state capitalist dictatorship, because they’re the ones who’ll be in charge. Their lobbyists write ALL the bills and orders the GOP put forward. Trump is just the figurehead to distract the people and maintain the whole “democracy” charade until the thin veneer is no longer necessary.
