Already the most disliked man in America, Zuckerberg will show with his next era whether he believes in anything as much as he does power.

    I encourage you to read up on The Terror.

    All of those tens of thousands of guillotine victims weren’t wealthy. Not even close. They were you and me. Only a tiny few were wealthy.

    Recommend “Paris in the Terror” by Loomis.

      Ohno, so we get a handful of billionaires and a boatload of Jan6ers, Christian Nationalist and White Supremacists… failing to see a downside.
