We need to stop calling techlords like Mark Zuckerberg (and Tim Cook, et al) "cowards" for their nuzzling up to Trump.

Call them what they are: supporters of America's metastasizing fascism. And for god's sake, stop supporting their businesses.

Meta names former Trump adviser Dina Powell McCormick as president and vice chairman

Facebook owner Meta has named Dina Powell McCormick, a former Trump administration adviser and longtime finance executive, as president and vice chairman of the tech giant. The company says she will help guide its overall strategy, including major investments. The announcement on Monday received praise from Donald Trump, who called it a “great choice” by CEO Mark Zuckerberg. Powell McCormick has extensive experience in global finance and government roles. She worked in the Trump and Bush administrations and held leadership positions at Goldman Sachs. Her appointment arrives amid wider efforts from Meta to boost its ties with Trump.

@watchfulcitizen Isn't the EU Vote on October 14th?
@pbg Don't say too loud. They might find that idea interesting.
@watchfulcitizen @rtn I believe that some more will very likely come forward like "die Linke" and "die Grünen" and maybe even SPD and FDP. The main reason why nothing is "official" now is because we have corrupt idiots as the government because old people like to vote for "what they always voted for". That parties evolve and change they don't consider even the slightest. And who would have guessed, Germany has a f-ton of old people.
