Seems a reach

The “lizard people”/“reptilian overlords” conspiracy theory is rooted in antisemitism. It was invented by David Icke, a holocaust denier and endorser of the antisemitic hoax “The Protocols of the Elder Zion”, and plays off the medieval blood libel myths of a shadowy, non-human elite secretly subverting society to manipulate humanity, which “Protocols” built on and is what the conspiracy theory is based on.

Zuck is a humongous piece of shit destroying the world and Israel is committing genocide but we can say so without resorting to bigotry.

I think the lizard thing was mostly about mocking his lack of human emotions and apparent awkwardness (due to choice or personality). Calling someone a “humongous piece of shit” is a rather plain and boring insult unlike challenging his humanity and lizard like behaviour.

But saying he's a reptile is way too cool and badass. Lord Voldemort can be compared to a reptile.

Zuck is a tiny, pathetic piece of shit who throws tantrums when he loses at board games. He's not an evil genius mastermind, he's a metastasis.

You seem really hung up on wanting to call a person who’s Jewish a lizard person even when informed doing so is an antisemitic trope. Why is that? Can your feeble brain not conceive of any better insults?

> brain not conceive of any better insults

Does yours? Would you care to enligten me with some better personalized insults? “feeble mind” and “piece of shit” arw higly unimaginative, surely you can do better than that.

I’m not the one using bigotry to anchor my insults.

So your point is all good insults are based on bigotry and therefore you can’t come up with any better ones (yet at the same time expect me to)?: D

Also I’m really confused on why are you so hellbent on anthropomorphising Zuckerberg…
