> "We want to thank you for considering this project. We feel that the core sentiment of this song is still so prevalent and necessary today, which speaks to how timeless a work it truly..." -- and yet they want to suburn, they want to use it to make Facebook and Instagram even bigger and more powerful than it already is, so it can continue to censor all of us in this room, and prevent this story about Julian Assange getting out to the general public, so the general public could go "WHAT? What, no?" No. No more.

> You think, "how did this little prick who started off by saying 'She's pretty, we give her a four out of five, she's ugly, we'll give her a one'. How the fuck did he get any power in anything? And yet here he is, one of the most powerful idiots in the world.
People, none of whom I respect nor care about, throwing insults at one another, yet doing nothing of substance.
...and it's why I seldom log into those platforms anymore.
People use these platforms to get their daily dose of dopamine. It's a worthless addiction.
Guaidó has received in indeterminate amount of Venezuelan cash frozen in the US. If that doesn't speak to who is pulling the strings here, I don't know what will.

He might shrug if off as a missed marketing opportunity, but this man has no understanding of how incompatible the the sentence "We don't need no education, we don't need no thought control." is with any of his undertakings, or what it takes to show some respect to values humanity tries to embrace. He exploits those weaknesses.
He pretends to work towards that greater goal, talks about it but fails to recognize that he's just doing this to increase his hold on power. "Yes, I'm draining our rivers but I do this to deliver the water directly to you, don't you see?"
You mean the assertion made by western governments without any actual evidence and which was later confirmed to be politically motivated by OPCW whistleblowers? Where have I seen this script before? Oh right, it's because it was the same one used in Iraq.
