      I took few computer science classes in university and dear god, some of the people there are some of the worst type of man children I’ve ever met which sort of explains their general behaviour with these tech freaks.

    Elon Musk isn’t an outlier taking on the world, he’s just the first to ditch the mask.

    capitalist-woke: “Silly commies, the private sector can be trusted to do the right thing! Look how sustainable and socially responsible we are!”

    frothingfash: “Stupid leftists think they’re rebelling but look at how ethical porky is! That’s disgusting! Hey porky! Be less ethical! Us consumers demand it!”

    capitalist-woke: “With pleasure!”

    porky-happy: “I’m back to pandering to you now, Mr. Lowest common denominator!”

    frothingfash: “Thanks! Never betray me again!…As I was saying…you leftists have no idea what it’s like to be marginalized for your political beliefs like I do!”

    I was just thinking a few days ago, how healthy is it for a marriage, or any relationship even, to have a partner that is constantly reinventing themselves. Like you are settling, or adjusting, to “wannabe president” zuckerberg, and now he is wrestling dudes and talking about “alpha energy” during cocktails?

      Masculine energy:

      • Work 80 hours per week
      • Get yelled at by your boss
      • Get sexually harassed by your boss’s boss
      • Most of your department is laid off, but not you
      • now you do 3 jobs for the same pay
      • No raise for a decade, you still have the same pay as before
      • Get laid off anyway

      Feminine energy:

      • Work 80 hours per week
      • Get yelled at by your boss
      • Get sexually harassed by your boss’s boss
      • Most of your department is laid off, including you
      • Find a new job
      • New job is remote friendly with better pay
      • Work 60 hours per week

      But anyway the real answer is you remember that redditor who got fired from Google a while back for posting a rant on their internal message board whining because he wasn’t allowed to be racist? It’s that. That’s masculine energy.

    Yuckerberg slams his fist on the table

    “We’re going to do the Metaverse again! And we’re going to do it right this time! No more welcoming, family friendly bullshit. We’re giving the avatars dicks (still no legs though) and we’re gonna have VR Mii fuckin’ like the market* demands!”

    I know money and influence isn’t everything, but imagine sucking so much you can’t keep a marriage going when you’re feasibly insulated from every possible stressor.

    So, he’s a eunuch because of women? That’s a new one. I wonder what his children think of this.

    The company I, a man, founded and continue to run, which operates in a field historically and currently dominated by men, has too much feminine energy.

    Once again capitalism created this thing it’s fighting against. Woke and soy started right there where Facebook lives. Soy because the economic factors required removed to exist.

    Move to CA and live in a pod because housing is expensive and drink soylent because you need to optimize your production. You will eat the bugs because we need efficient protein sources according to my algorithm. You will own nothing and be happy because I can create an app that incentivizes rent-seeking for everything in your life.

    Since we have to accept a more progressive tone thanks to our gay white male capitalists, we’re going to just do rainbow capitalism. Then we’re going do woke capitalism because it provides another market metric to exploit for investment. Also we’re hiring cheap overseas labor so might as well explain all the brown people by saying we’re following some diversity goal. Disregard that there is no actual diversity among those who control the labor. The four or five people who run the tech world have no DEI.

    My woke removed future came true now everyone is obsessed with podcasts and I learned about woke through that. Even though we were never actually woke, I’m going to harass my few remaining employees who might be of a marginalized group so I can signal my internet friends that I’m against woke. I fired all the actual woke people because they were too expensive and replaced them with people who don’t care, they’re just desperate to make it in America. So I’m not actually losing anything by confronting the woke mind virus, it’s just another obfuscation of me cutting costs and trying to chase declining returns.
