Facebook Warns Anyone Attending 4th Of July Fireworks That They May Have Been Exposed To Extremist Activity

U.S.—According to reports, millions of Americans will be attending 4th of July celebrations today, many of which will feature problematic displays of the American flag and extreme levels of patriotism. 

"Latest government intelligence says that people who feel proud to live in America are more likely to be insurrectionist Trump supporters or colorblind racists," said Facebook content moderator and CCP party member Xiu Zhao. "We want people to realize they are putting themselves in danger by attending these hotbeds of extremist activity."

Facebook will be sending notifications to any user found to have attended a patriotic parade, fireworks show, or cookout. Users will be directed to totally confidential resources to help cure them of their extremism.

"I'm glad Facebook is taking steps to prevent people from going down these dangerous roads," said Robin Diangelo, racism expert and author of White Fragility. "We as Americans must always remember that America is not for people of color. It's only for white people. Every time a white person acts in a patriotic manner, he is reminding BIPOCS that they have no place here."

According to sources within Facebook, users who ignore the extremism warnings will have all their personal information sent directly to the FBI.

Doesn’t satire require that the author exaggerate the facts a little?

The Facebook clown Mark Zuckervburg is trying to spread his extremeist (anti-conservative, normal people) propaganda attitudes against the 4th of July and this country and its history. He really is a clown if people have not yet realized it.

Fantastic sarcasm from the Bee.

This is the Farcebook Is Evil ping list.

Facebook is a perfect example of socialism:
You get it for free but the quality sucks.
You have no say in how it works.
The guy who runs it gets rich.
There's no real competition.
You have no privacy.
And if you say one thing they don't like
they'll shut you up.

the Bee is great.
This may be the best patriotic song since Lee Greenwood’s.
It brings tears

For a few seconds (not noticing it’s source) I actually thought that this story was for real.

“I really believed this was a real news title.”

Ditto - I was a few sentences into the article before I thought to check if it was the Bee.

Nice.

BTW, if leftwad scumbags decide to retaliate by attacking your house with Molotov cocktails and other means, do you have security that will wake you in time to deploy leftwad suppressors?
