Love how every social media site is becoming more and more like /r/Conservative.
They essentially ARE. You can also throw in all major broadcasting networks in that bucket as well. Everything is pro Israel and they are all trying to justify their genocide to their dumb fuck base.
Filled by morons and Russian bots?
You'd never even know other countries have the ability to use Markov Chains.
Whatever floats your boat.
That's how any absolutistic regime reacts. Which companies usually are.
Which companies always are.
Look into how companies are actually managed. It's almost always an absolute dictatorship under the complete control of the owner and/or CEO, who gets the last word on everything and can fire anyone at will. Sometimes you'll have a board of directors or something acting as a check on the CEO's power and able to replace them if necessary ... but even then, that pretty much never actually happens. Their power is pretty much never actually checked.
Which is why I think "workplace democracy" should be the phrase leftists rally behind. The right has put a lot of work into poisoning and slandering the terms 'socialism' and 'communism', but 'workplace democracy' hasn't been attacked like that. And it sounds very good to workers. If you get to vote on what your country does, why shouldn't you get to vote on what your company does? After all, your company actually has a lot more effect on you and power over you in your day-to-day life. Why should some out-of-touch rich guy (probably a pedophile) get absolute control over the whole thing based on his fucked-up whims and vibes? Instead, we should have workplace democracy, where all employees get a say in how the company is run. (And then, without propagandized workers even realizing that they've done so, they've taken control of the means of production and enacted a form of socialism.)
Microsoft's dick is so micro and soft that they can't stand even an unpleasant word on Discord.
Users just really believe in truth in advertising. Microslop wouldn't be encouraging people to be dirty, filthy liars, would they?
And it's MICROSCUM, not microslop!
MS did learn a lot from Communist China
Back to Hasecorp for now...
In Spain there was a time when it was Hasechof and Microchof.
I remember when there was a webpage named "mocosoft" and microslop sued (and won) because the name sounded too similar in Spain.
After that, I went with mocosoft for a good while. Sad there weren't social media back then. It could have become a very viral thing.
