Facebook Follies of Friends and Families

What did Lebron do to piss off the right wing nutters?

Hint: you can see it in the pic.

Ah, too obvious.

[Eddie Teach]

I guess right-wingers really love Cleveland.

regarding LeBron James, China and Hong Kong:

Yeah that was bad look for LeBron. I don't get the others.

[Admiral Yi]

Isn't Lebron on record as being vaccinated?  I figured it had to do with vaccinations and masks making you a slave of the Chinese.

Who's the dude at  8:30?

And this is how some GOP voters see the Ukraine crisis - Biden protecting "his friends in the Ukraine".

Though I guess it's progress that she says the American people voted in Biden as president.

[HisMajestyBOB]

Jesus Christ.

And yet they whine about temp bans on Facebook. (No, I don't report them, but I guess someone on their friends list does )

[DGuller]

Yeah, some of the stuff on the last page went from stupid to vile.

It's also interesting, my eldest sister is pro-gay rights. Her two oldest sons are gay. Her youngest is trans-male, but my sister keeps referring to her daughter and posting anti-trans content. Said kid has taken himself completely off Facebook; first during the BLM protests when he said there's way too many racists in his feed, and recently he posted that he's fine but that he's keeping off FB because of the dead-naming and non-acceptance from friends and family.

No, is what Zoupa linked. The NBA has been accused by conservatives for a couple of years already of being in thrall to Chinese economic interests. When during the HK protests then Houston Rockets' GM Daryl Morey expressed support to the protesters China threw a massive hissy fit, banning all Rockets merchandising from being sold in China, as well as removing their games from broadcasts, and it was feared that it'd reach a point in which China would ban all NBA operations in the country, which is of course an extremely lucrative market for them. The NBA then saved face with China and that put them under fire in the US. LeBron supported the league's position and since than has been periodically excoriated because of that.

True, GOP policies did.

Also, my brother in law:

This fetish for being a victim of persecution is so tiring. Especially since it is usually combined with constant masturbating over how clever and strong they are for recgonizing it.
