Either Lukashenko would be revealed as the kind of asshole who thinks it should be illegal to eat ice cream, or he'd be revealed as the kind of weakling who couldn't keep a lid on dissent.

Lukashenko took the bait.
voice-verified
And took it.
voice-verified
And took it.
voice-verified
In the years that followed, protesters would be arrested for smiling, clapping, and just standing silently.
voice-verified
The world learned that Lukashenko was a buffoon, and Belarusians affirmed their view that this buffoon would not hesitate to mete out the most vicious punishments for the most innocuous actions.
voice-verified
Speaking of thin-skinned, paranoid, wildly corrupt buffoons who will stop at nothing to silence their enemies, how about that Mark Zuckerberg, huh?
voice-verified
Sure, all the headlines these days are about Zuck's intention to transform Facebook into a sports betting site, but in the UK, Zuckerberg's war on whistleblowers keeps finding new ice-cream-grade depths of absurdity to plumb.
voice-verified
The whistleblower in question is, of course, Sarah Wynne Williams, author of the internationally best-selling memoir, Careless People, which details the criminality she witnessed during her years as the head of Facebook's international relations team.
voice-verified
Careless People is full of revelations about the gross institutional misconduct of Facebook, including its knowing encouragement of a genocide in Myanmar.
voice-verified
But it's also full of stories about the severe personal failings of Facebook's executive team, especially Sheryl Sandberg, Joel Kaplan, and Mark Zuckerberg.
voice-verified
These three come off as the most colossal of assholes, cruel, petty, and predatory.
voice-verified
Sandberg comes across as a sexual abuser who dreams of trafficking in poor people's organs.
voice-verified
Kaplan is an oaf whose plan to provide paid internet access to refugee camps falls apart once he learns that refugees in camps don't have any money.
voice-verified
He also takes points off of Wynne Williams' workplace evaluation for being, quote, unresponsive over a period when she was in a near-death coma.
voice-verified
Worst of all, though, is Zuckerberg, whose sins range from cheating at settlers of Catan to endangering the Colombian peace protest after a 50-year civil war because he refused to get out of bed before noon.
voice-verified
Zuck is also revealed to have given the Chinese state access to all of Facebook and the power to censor content they disliked as part of a failed bid to get permission to offer a Facebook service in China.
voice-verified
It's a terrible company, with awful products, run by the worst people.
voice-verified
Wynne Williams' conditions of employment required her to sign a contract that bound her to silence, non-disclosure, forbade her from speaking ill of the company, non-disparagement, and denied her access to the legal system in all her dealings with Meta, binding arbitration.
voice-verified
Together, these three clauses, routinely used by Meta to silence would-be whistleblowers, meant that after Wynne Williams' book was published, Meta got its arbitrator, a lawyer who was paid by Meta to adjudicate contractual disputes instead of an actual judge, to order her to never promote or even speak about her book.
