Shirt took a stab at Mark Zuckerberg, to the delight of many.

I thought this was slightly funny.

Mark Zuckerberg is known these days for wearing t-shirts with Latin phrases on them, especially ones where he compares himself to Julius Caesar.

Bluesky made a shirt in the same style, but theirs says “a world without Caesars” in Latin.

    Zuckerberg wears t-shirts comparing himself to Julius Caesar? Why is that every time I think I’m up-to-date on the latest weirdness there’s more of it?

      If you think thats weird you haven’t even scratched the surface on Zuck. He actually idolizes Emperor Augustus Caesar so much that he copied the guys haircut for most of his career. Behind the Bastards does a good job of highlighting it. If you want a quick readable version, here’s the first non paywalled article I could find. https://www.businessinsider.com/mark-zuckerberg-fascinated-by-augustus-future-of-facebook-2018-9

      Roman empire, like the nordic pagan BS is also a (extreme) right-wing fetish.
      So glad to see our new PM celebrating his election win like this:

              You can avoid the whole of Europe, most countries are getting closer to the 4th reich.
              Almost time to send the kids to the eastern front again.

                  Oh I definitely will, always have since the other side of their uniparty is not much better for the rest of the world.
                  Besides those 2 factions there isn’t a significant alternative. The vast majority belongs to 1 of those 2.
                  The dems will eventually fall in line and collaborate, like much of the European parties did before and during WW2.
                  “embracing patriotism” and " banning left wing elements" as the new proposed plan for the dems is already a good step.
                  They have no culture of resistance, generally apathetic and pacified.
                  If a European country would suddenly live under the same conditions Americans do now and loong before, regardless of which side was in charge it would be in flames. I can name a few things: no social benefits, mass homelesness, authoritarian police that kill plenty people, largest percentage of people put in jail… No country would take that.
                  And now they want to ‘save their democracy’?
                  And how? By not shopping at chain X for one day or maybe change their avatar.
                  True warriors.

      Here you go:

      At Meta’s annual Connect event in Menlo Park, Calif., Zuckerberg wore a custom T-shirt with the Latin phrase “aut Zuck aut nihil,” or “all Zuck or all nothing,” as he revealed the first working prototype of Meta’s augmented-reality glasses.

      The phrase was a play on “aut Caesar aut nihil,” which means “either a Caesar or nothing,” or more simply “all or nothing.”

      Zuckerberg has long been interested in the Roman Empire. He spent his honeymoon in Rome and two of his children, August and Aurelia, are named after emperors Augustus and Marcus Aurelius.

      Incidentally, fascists tend to have a hard-on for ancient Rome, but I’m sure that’s just a coincidence.

        I’m not racist. I’m just really into 1940’s German artillery. For the engineering, you know. /s

          I’m just saying, I’m a huge fan of General Von Manstein because the guy was a military genius, one of the greats of our time, not because of the Nazi stuff. /s
