Zuckerberg urges Harvard grads to build a world of 'purpose'
Associated Press ^ | May 25, 2017 8:39 PM EDT | Barbara Ortutay

Mark Zuckerberg returned Thursday to Harvard, where he launched Facebook and then dropped out, telling graduates it’s up to them to bring purpose to the world, fight inequality and strengthen the global community.

“Change starts local. Even global changes start small — with people like us,” the Facebook CEO said. He shared stories about graduates such as David Razu Aznar, a former city leader who led the effort to legalize gay marriage in Mexico City, and Agnes Igoye, who grew up in conflict zones in Uganda and now trains law enforcement officers.

“And this is my story too,” Zuckerberg added. “A student in a dorm room, connecting one community at a time, and keeping at it until one day we can connect the whole world.”

Such lofty talk now comes naturally to Zuckerberg, a 33-year-old billionaire who has committed to giving away nearly all of his wealth. In February, he sketched out an ambitious, if vague, vision for Facebook that committed the company to developing “social infrastructure” that would help build a “global community that works for all of us.” …

Vile POS of a human soul. Screams at and treats employees like dirt. Thief. Typical leftist elitist fraud and failure that thinks he can run the world.

I say tax him at 100% of everything he owns, give him some clothes from a shelter, and make him work in a Burger King the rest of his pathetic life.

I would like to initiate change.

Abandon Fecebook.

Zuckerberg uses the wealth you provide with every sign on against you.

I’d rather go to Starbucks and talk about racism.

God has already given the world a purpose. When you give it a different one, and rebel against the purpose already inherent in its design, God has assigned a path for you as well.

Yeah, facebook has gone so far towards advancing society in such a positive and purposeful way. Surely it will be looked back at as such a great innovation for culture.

OK then.

I think Mark’s next step in creating a personality cult wrapped around himself will be to endorse some particular religion, or religious-like series of rituals. This may occur shortly after the beginning of Trump’s second term, if he runs and wins it. The Progressives will still be miserable by then, and open for any solutions to reclaim their power.

Did you see Zuck ‘crying’ the other day while speaking about the evils of border control. He spoke of this poor little illegal girl who was being deported by the mean, mean American men.
Maybe Soros or Valerie have found a new protege.
Someone who may even exceed L. Ron Hubbard of Scientology in influence.

Hey Zuck - we have purpose like we have never had purpose before and we sure as hell didn’t need to go to Harvard to get it. Purpose this.

The road to hell is paved with the same thing as the kind of purpose he’s talking about.

Go look up Cloward and Pivin (1966) and then you will understand the ideology of the extremely wealthy, like Zuckerberg. They will do all in their power to crash the economic system of the US to bring into existence their globalist dream. We will then be no different than any slave which has existed until the present time. Zuckerbert is only 33 years old. How much do you believe he knows about anything other than technology. To think that he has any wisdom which qualifies him to speak at any institution from Kindergarten on up is insulting. Harvard is only padding it’s gigantic endowement by having him speak. This has nothing to do with education. President Trump wants to keep America as a government of the people, by the people and for the people, and that is why he is hated by the left. That is why they have gone insane in their efforts to destroy him and the fact that he was elected. It is a war that we are in and Zuckerberg is not on our side. If you truly care, you will cancel your Face Book participation.

Zuckerberg. Big deal. The guy came up with some software, made a lot of money on it, and as a result is now the sage economist/philosopher/business mogul with all the answers. He’s a douche who got lucky. Good for him that he made some bucks, but I do not see wisdom of the ages here.

“Abandon Fecebook.”

I did the morning after Obama won reelection. Didn’t even look at my messages or postings from the previous evening.

We pigs are brain works.

The whole management and organization of this farm depended on us. Day and night we are watching over our well fare.
 
It is for your sake that we drink the milk and eat these apples. Do you know what happens of we pigs failed in our duty?
