Look at that fucking shitstain of an excuse for a human being.
Ask Chamberlain and Quisling how bending over and lubing yourself up for the fascists works out.
Spoiler: you get fucked.

I was expecting the billionaire class to fall in line, but it's honestly kind of scary just how quickly they're doing it.

Like child labour, forced labour, or outright slavery, I guess...
Also, they'll likely redefine "different backgrounds" as something that enables them to hire only racists, fascists, and neo-nazis.

They mean it literally. They're just going to have a variety of photo backdrops for the badge photos for their shitass motherfuckers who work there and are making the world a worse place.

I didn't think I'd be pining for the days of rainbow capitalism so soon. The masks sure were lubed and ready to come off, huh.

Since color/gender/religion/nationality are generally not relevant to one's job duties, choosing to hire people based on those attributes strikes me as no more logical than declining to hire someone based on those attributes.
If I were a shareholder, I'd want them to focus on hiring the most qualified candidates, even if they're striped aliens from a species with three genders.

I'm increasingly feeling like this image is my daily news brief. I know its a trap, and yet the stupidity of TFGWINTG* threatening to invade Canada, Greenland, and Panama, Meta becoming a Twitter clone for Nazis, and...

Hey Zuck, remember your obsession with Caesar Augustus and how you even got your hair cut to match him?
Pray tell, oh wise one, how Octavian ended the Roman civil war and became Emporer by bending over and letting Antonius fuck him?
Oh wait, is that not what happened, Mark?

The most qualified candidate is someone like him, a golf playing, sexist, racist, white dude.
The most qualified people for Trump? Racist white dudes who speak loudly.
The problem with your idea is that the reality is people will consider those things with inherent bias.

Well I know the comments here are going to be an inferno, especially when the trolls cycle in.
I'm going to suspend my Threads accounts.

You know this is code for “hiring exclusively white men,” right?

You know who benfits from this? White, westernized culture. CIS White men, who, despite decades of saying "we only hire the best people" really mean:
"we only hire the best white males, and if a person of colour, different sexuality, nationality, or religion is better, we will hire the next better white guy. If those don't exist, we will hire our buddy from our sorority."

Weirdly, when companies say they just focus on qualifications and are race/gender/etc blind, what tends to happen is that the people doing the hiring hire mostly people who are like themselves.

This is all missing the most important thing happening, which is that Zuck has ditched the Data look for a Zoomer haircut. And let's be honest, it just does not work. Zuck needs to look weird and own it.

Nobody should be surprised.
Fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power -

Let me be blunt: You don't know what DEI initiative do. Period. Not a single clue.
Because the entire goal of DEI is to make sure that biases against color/gender/religion/nationality are recognized and removed as factors in the hiring decision. In other words, DEI makes sure that you are hiring the people with the best skills for the job. The most qualified candidates.

I imagine FB and Instagrm are easy to ditch for most; but not WhatsApp. I wish there was an easy way to get the millions of WhatsApp users to swtich to an alternaitve.
