    You guys are like adverse to reading long form articles or something? Or is that not how the right disseminate information because all the institutions that teach literacy patience are commie institutions?

    It's my impression that Dorsey was never one for politics. He created Twitter as a voice for the people. Twitter of course turned into something much bigger. He was forced into positions that he didn't feel comfortable being in, including testifying up in front of congress.

    It's well know Dorsey is not a strong CEO and he did let the inmates run the asylum. I never had the impression Dorsey was a bad guy, just a zero tolerance for politics. Unfortunately that is a primary role as an executive. When he left Twitter last year, he promised he was never coming back.

    Why do you pretend that people aren't buying into the premise that Elon sincerely cared about free speech and more likely cares about pandering to form a strong cultist like base?

    We understand your argument. We don't buy it so who are you actually addressing when you spam these tweets? We know the fake dichotomy running through your brain already.

    Why as why? At best, it's picking the lesser of two evils.
    Free Speech - feel free to continue to trust the (political) institution that keeps lying to you over and over and over. It's called batter wife syndrome.

    He is more edgelord than billionaire.

    Biden had 0 lockdowns. In the US lockdowns started easing in May 2020 (Georgia) and by summer 2020 most lockdowns were eased. Schools were remote in 2020/21 in part because no one was vaccinated. But the government was not mandating a lockdown, during this period people choose to avoid other people to not get sick.

    I'm not trusting either. I'm as critical of Pelosi as I am with Elon but for entirely different reasons. If I could sum up my thoughts about Elon in one sentence :

    If Elon hypothetically lived in 1930s Germany he would would pander to the winning side, the Nazis because he knows that's how he maintains power and influence.




    The media may be disproportionately liberal but the violent radicals, law enforcement apparatus, military etc is disproportionately conservative and often right wing. Even our fighter pilots are disproportionately conservative. That's frighteningly similar to 1920s Germany except without the absurd inflation along with the thousands of extremely mentally damaged and deranged combat veterans who experienced the most gruesome type of warfare in human history. We got a lot more overweight LARPers relative to hardened deranged veterans at least at the trench warfare level. The US also has stronger longer lasting institutions more immune to rapid change aka "the deep state", as the right loves to call it.

    Elon knows which side and culture in this country actually controls the monopoly on violence if **** hits the fan.

    What does this even mean and what is the context?

    Also 1920s Germany

    If Twitter existed in the 1920s, Elon would have tweeted this in context to his crusade about Free Speech and you know it.

    Lmao I was going to say. He did win it. There were a lot of Nazi supporters in the US and the Nazis looked to us for inspiration on how to deal with their “problem”.

    Absolutely. Look at Henry Ford, the Elon of their time, for a on point example.
