That’s how facebook made hundreds of billions of dollars. This guy was a legit artist who got sucker-punched by the courts for not getting contracts signed by everyone in-frame.

It should be one or the other not one for billionaires, zero for artists. But - whatever the German is for c’est la vie.

This person cats

You haven’t seen it much for a reason.

Was just about to summon the anti-capitalist hordes but I see I’m too late.

The very concept itself is insane. Give us your real name, we own your data, etc etc.

Facebook: [Has always been a surveillance apparatus intent on exploiting users]

Facebook: [Does what it does]

Everybody: [Continues to pour money and information into facebook ‘because’]

Me: Maybe in a few MORE DECADES people will wake up!

Everybody: [Does not wake up]

Ain’t nobody seent that comin!

. . . All? . . . of them?

“What are you doing in space?!?”

“Mind yahr own bizness!”

yyyyYYEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

In his work of over seven hundred pages, Le Forestier gives an account of his exploration of German archives, where almost everything was preserved with Teutonic precision. When a member of the Illuminati of Bavaria, the Catholic priest Johann Jakob Lang (according to another spelling “Lanz,” 1735–1785), died struck by lightning on July 10, 1785, the police drew up,  and archivists preserved, even an exact inventory of what was in his pockets. So fastidious was Le Forestier’s work that later historians have been able to add only a few details, although they have not always accepted his interpretations.

I think it’s using him as an example of how and why we know so much about them, not necessarily their downfall. But it is interesting!

There’s a kind of stubborn ignorance which is very malicious. It’s how we got trump, in part.

“What dey doin’ down dere?”

Haha! No, ah, no I would not say that.

I guess I was thinking about Jimmie Walker who said,

“I just got back from a tour of Ireland. It was interesting. It just goes to show that even without blacks, Jews, or Mexicans, people will improvise!”

Well, it’s at least more concrete than hating them for worshiping a slightly different imaginary sky being.

Wow you border areas very different from you? That’s gotta be a great source of societal change huh.

Not sure how “we’ve hated each other for stupider reasons for hundreds of years” is your lede but, write what you know, they say.

Nobody thinks we’re better people, it’s just that the entire globe agrees you’re not good people and are educated to have the miopic view typical of a place that thinks they are better than everyone else while conveniently ignoring they’re living on stolen land from a wealth of genocided native peoples.

*myopic*. So true about the stolen land. Irrelevant to the discussion but true. Hey I heard you guys literally were the Nazis, is that true?

Comin up on ya fast, Canucks. Don’t take that shit.

Got it in one!

Yeah. It’s just that we have the history and problems (and some solutions) you don’t. It’s not necessarily because you’re better people, is it.

So you’re enjoying not having to deal with either. You think it’s pretty great. There are a bunch of racists here who 100% agree.

If someone just heard this gossip around that time they didn’t really have an easy way to check it, and in their long term memory it was saved as fact.

And yet - *gestures to everything*
