lmao, this one will see some play

This take is everything wrong with blue check Twitter. He's complaining about an amoral billionaire taking control of Twitter...

But Twitter is already controlled by amoral billionaires: Al Waleed bin Talal Al Saud is a shareholder.

Why does even the idea of reducing censorship on twitter terrify them so much? Why can't globohomo bootlickers just make their own platforms? They're clearly the majority, right? It's not just an echo chamber of grifters, journos and corporate slaves, right? Couldn't they all just move to LinkedIn? I hear they're all about Corporate Name-Tag Culture™ there.

the central religious belief of American liberals now is censorship. Silencing, deplatforming and otherwise preventing their adversaries from being heard is their paramount goal, their primary weapon

the “hate speech” framework for justifying censorship is now insufficient because liberals are eager to silence a much broader range of voices than those they can credibly accuse of being hateful. That is why the newest, and now most popular, censorship framework is to claim that their targets are guilty of spreading “misinformation” or “disinformation.” These terms, by design, have no clear or concise meaning. Like the term “terrorism,” it is their elasticity that makes them so useful.

Imagine if there was a Mastodon app that would magically block all anime.

People are more concerned with Elon buying Twitter

Than they are China and Bill Gates buying US agriculture land and US Agri-businesses

One affects how you feel

The other affects what you eat

My word we are a shallow, hollow people

The DC car-ramming murder, the Waukesha Christmas parade attack, NYC subway shooting…..

I gotta say, I’m starting to think black nationalists are a wee bit bigger domestic threat than the invisible white supremacist army they keep telling me to watch out for
