Hey Thor, when you get a chance here's some reading material;

Fed many a conspiracy theory, but the frightening thing is that this actually happened.
I kind of think it was successful after seeing Biden, he has "figurehead for corporate interests" written all over him. Reagon the actor, Trump, all say "Puppet state".
Responding to a Truth Social user claiming the Twitter company emails were “a clear violation of the 1st Amendment,” the radio host fired back: “Err no, it’s not the DNC asking a private company to censor has nothing to do with the First Amendment.”
First off, the GoP also filed requests.
More importantly, how are representatives from both political parties tiling requests for moderation not a violation of the 1st amendment?
What, the constitution doesn't apply to the parties themselves, who send officials to office? Isn't there a conflict here, as the DnC and GoP effectively run the country through a monopoly on candidates?
Rollingstone and many others dismissive of the Twitter files story as "dick pics".
Uh, we had politicians openly claiming the government can moderate social media because the 1st amendment is not absolute;

Except when it comes to the government, it IS. That is the ENTIRE DUCKING POINT.
We don't trust the government to moderate us, nor should we. Governments have a tendency to turn evil and oppress their own populations.

So Alex Jones is off limits, but Andrew Anglin is allowed on.
🤪
Dilbert creator Scott Adams makes some excellent points.
He arguably is indeed in danger of physical harm because of the things said about him. He never calls for censorship.
He's an attention seeking edgelord who makes absurd clownish claims and is a Trump apologist, or at least was at one point.
eg he claimed that if Biden won in 2020, Republicans would be 'hunted down and killed' and he would be one them. That of course didn't happen, like the majority of his absurd attention seeking claims.
Also pretty sure one of his cartoons was anti-vaccine, not anti-vaxxers. Implying vaccines = poison. So not sure what you're on about.
He should just stick to writing his stupid cartoon and cashing his checks. Or maybe get a dog or two, since he's so desperate for attention.
Not specifically Twitter related, but still evidence of Elon douchery...

His neuralink device made me think of the Borg.

Perish the thought, him with a dog is giving me flashbacks of a comic book story where some tech genius kid gets so absorbed into his work he stops giving his dog any attention, shirk his duties, and his parents just ignore the problem until the dog runs away.
I may goof around about a lot of things, but pet responsibilities I take seriously. Dogs can't tell you what they need, it's up to us to figure it out. 🙂
Ha. Well the points are good.
Following some Redditers just to learn their side of it. Between the sniping, they;
1. Actually read tax returns, in detail.
2. Know the laws inside and out.
3. Can cite specific crimes and provide evidence for them.
Some of that is probably simply reading partisan media, but other details point to either a bureaucrat, accountant, or someone in law or journalism. Could also be an armchair enthusiast I suppose.
One thing that kind of shocks me is how many on the left now are the exact opposite of hippies, e.g. they have no problem trusting in authority, provided said authority legitimately follows the laws of the land. They never seem to ask if said system is good or necessary.
Take advertising. They rightly claim you can't allow bigots on platforms if you want advertisers,.and talk about bottom lines. It's a very pro corporation kind of thinking, and sees no problems with rule by dollars and cents, or in treating human beings as nothing more than a cog in a giant business scheme.
While I would love to see Wall Street burn, and believe vile words are just that: words. A racist spouting conspiracies can be ignored. Someone who believes said theories is entitled to their opinions.
In my opinion, at least.
Another thing I saw that I could do without is the weird "Prove you aren't the idiot" competitiveness. A guy asked a simple question about whether tax returns were any real proof against taking bribes, and the respondent tore into him as though he was propping up the other side.
Maybe it was a kid who was genuinely ignorant? Maybe not all of us are business or law savvy? Maybe he wasn't a Trumper at all, and the "Because I'm educated and I say so" attitude will alienate the asker?
Does it all have to be a competition?
