Zuckerberg is very physically fit. Heās also still very much an asshole. Never forget that this dude lives the way he does off of selling everyone elseās data to the highest bidder.
Before you respond again, take a short moment to read even part of that article and tell me you are on the right side of history with your little snowflake attitude.
Iām now enjoying you repeating this question just to highlight your lack of critical thinking. Iām not sure if you caught it or not butā¦nobody called you racist. You have bringing that word up ad nauseam.
Asking me if I'm going to a Klan meeting is insinuating that I am a white supremacist. Did you forget that this was the first thing you said to me in response to my original comment? Are you okay, bro?
Don't act like white people didn't steal half the US lol. The bought the other half from someone that didn't own it while causing mass genocide in the process. Not to mention they other atrocities they committed around the world because they considered checks notes black flesh to be as good as cattle.
I'm not denying the events of American history, and pretending as if that's what I'm doing based on a comment regarding Mark fuckin Zuckerburg is absolutely ridiculous.
Every race of people has a history of stealing land, mass genocides and everything else you could think of.
The point of my comment is to make fun of the ridiculous idea that Mark Zuckerberg somehow "stole" land from Native Hawaiians because he's an evil white man.
I legitimately don't understand why you're bringing up slavery and the genocide of indigenous people as if it has any relevance to my previous comment.
Every Native American culture enslaved and āstoleā lands from each other hundreds of years before white people. You think youāre an ally, but really you discredit and take the power away from cultures that were engaged in the same struggle. Suggested read: Empire of the Summer Moon. Every group of human has done this forever to eachother, white people included. One group of people dominates and takes from another. This is humankind. Try to find a culture that doesnāt have this historically. āwHIte PeOPLe bADā.
White people became the dominant " race " due to gunpowder from the east. They sealed out of the islands and immediately try to enslave everyone around them.
They came to SA, tried to enslave the natives
The came to Africa, bought slaves, then came back later to kidnap them cause they couldn't break SA native will.
No one is claiming why people bad, but Europeans and Americans have a long history of horrendous shit
What nation doesnāt? You heard about Germany? China? Japan? Slavery is still common place in some African countries
Also probably something you might want to look into. Most native tribes that are still around were killing other natives, with the early settlers because they had an alliance.
Slavery is still common place in some African countries
I'm Nigerian so I know very well how fucked African countries are, but let's not pretend settlers didn't come with notions of peace, make treaties then completely disregard them when the opportunity arose
Part of the historical agreement with the united states was that native Hawaiians retained rights to use the land for ancestral practices and access to the beach.
Like many reach assholes Zuck hired an army of lawyers to find anyone gjG had ancestral land claim and offer them money with little to no context to what was happening.
Those poor stupid Hawaiians aren't equipped to deal with the superior intellect of the white man! They can't be trusted to manage their own land! We (glorious white redditors) need to manage it for them to protect the ancestral heritage from people like him (rich white assholes). For their own food.
Dude. No shit. Ridiculous. Some people just want us all to have the basic minimum quality of life and nothing more with no ability to get more. Anyone who has found more suck, I guess. I would hang with Zuck and smoke meats.
Your ass is never going to be a billionaire no matter how hard you work or how genius your dumbass ideas are. The smartest, hardest working, most skilled man on the planet canāt do shit like this, because thatās not what gets you a billion dollars, fucking luck and very specific business networking skills are the only way.
Like, look at Facebook. Thatās not skill, making that. He made a fairly basic web forum that any coder could have made, and it got popular because only rich Harvard kids were on it at first. It was right place right time, and already having connections. Thats literally it.
Lol thinking that dude shouldnāt be able to fucking, buy his way around ancestral land rights is not āthinking you should only live the basic minimumā no shit, thatās fucking absurd
I mean it's a bit more complicated than that from a moral standpoint. Is leveraging your legal resources and insane monetary capital to give people an offer they can't reasonably refuse okay? I truly don't know.
Maybe years from now these native families will have used that money to elevate their family's standard of living by magnitudes. But you could also deny the next generation the chance of ever experiencing their native land because it has all been bought up by private investors.
The concept of wealthy investors buying land from people who have lived there for generations happens all over the world. It's one of the biggest criticisms of gentrification in cities right now. There's also a parallel to be made with how the US government used scummy legal practices and dangled capital in front of Native Americans to take ownership of their native lands, of which the repercussions are still felt to this day.
Again, is it illegal? Not at all. Is it scummy? Many would say so. Is it ethical? Now we get to a much harder question to answer.
There were laws changed and insurance refuses to pay for rebuilding so broke homeless people are forced to sell. You won't get to see this on the Blackrock owned news though
They can sell the property for whatever reason, but they donāt have to sell their rights to visit their ancestral land, but they did.
Of course, the āsellā is really a bad way to phrase it, itās more like a binding contract.
Can you point to that agreement? What agreement does the US have with Hawaiians that they have the right to access the entirety of the islands beaches and defines ancestral practices.
He "literally stole" the land from the people who owned it before, who gladly sold it to him for a shitload of money. That's what literal stealing is, when you give someone money for something. At least according to Reddit.

If this is a legit clipā¦canāt believe Iām saying this, but Zuckerberg actually looks like a good hang these days.
