Also that if his offer is refused he will most likely sell his (up until an hour ago, majority shareholder in) shares of Twitter stock and tank it on the market.

"Analysts warn that making Twitter a free speech free-for-all could harm its business. They say if there was no buffering of hateful, offensive or extremist posts, individual users would be less likely to use Twitter."

lol... well, good!

[ProphetofGanja]

Not really into Twitter or Elon but I'm mildly curious as to how all this plays out

[IndigoErth]

I rarely bother with twitter so I can't say I feel too personally concerned about it either way or why he even cares that much and doesn't just make a competitor instead...but the whole "well if you don't give in to me I'm going to try to destroy you" is some real hostile takeover wannabe dictator-ish bulls*** right there.

Always wondered why the site didn't have an edit button so I agree with him on that, but that's about it.

Otherwise... I dunno, it's hard to describe the off putting creepy vibes he always gave me. Like, how to put it... the guy who could actually afford to be Batman, so to speak, but behind the scenes is a secret villain and you aren't going to know it until his hand is already in literally everything. Or some such analogy.

Yeah. Taking over an online town square and returning it to free speech, meanwhile earning everyone with shares in it a bundle. What a tyrannical a**hole.

[Sumac]

Buy it, Musk.
And burn it!

It is the best scenario possible.

[IndigoErth]

No, the part I can't get behind is doing that to the owners of a private company no matter how you (generic "you") feel about that company.

What, if you don't like how your neighbors keep their lawn you're in the right to just eminent domain them (if the power to do it was there) and take their property because you think you can do better?

Yeah, hostile takeovers may be legal, but I can't support that crap. Think you can do better, than create something better and kill them with competition.

[Coola Yagami]

At this point though, Twitter just gotta go, by any means necessary.

Hope he buys it, at least to see all the meltdowns.

[Andrew NDB]

Twitter bans Trump: "It's a private company, it can do what it wants!"

Elon Musk wants to buy Twitter: "This is a hostile takeover! The end of democracy!"

[Prowler]

Paying a fortune for Twitter is kinda sad.

Just make an account, man. It's free. Why the need to own it? Is it really that profitable for a guy who already has so much money?

Anyway, I don't care. I don't know much about this guy. As long as he doesn't use it to force his agenda down our throats.

The agenda is free speech. Post what you want, basically. And transparency of algorithms. 0 to get mad about with this.

Its not a private company, its a publicly traded company. There is no one owner, its got however many shareholders who are all owners. Right now one person who owners the 2nd largest share (9%) is trying to buy everything for himself from everyone else at a premium.

[Sumac]

Twitter is trash, so whatever happens with it, makes no difference as long as this pile of garbage still exists.

[mrmaczaps]

Twitter is pro kiddie porn, black supremacy & degeneracy along with silencing all conservatives... my 4th account is now locked. My 3rd one is locked. My 2nd one is literally just pics of my cat & they locked it. My OG account was deleted completely for asking what a "micro aggression" is (for "promoting violence). Twitter is a cancer, but I had a few decent internet friends there to chat with.... if you're afraid of Free Speech, no where on the internet or outside in the real world is for you, Disneys.

[Andrew NDB]

Reportedly the deal is close to being finalized:

Countdown to Trump's return.

[Vegita-San]

Countdown to Trump's return.

REEEEEEEEE! Sorry, just getting ready :).

[Sumac]

SJW up in arms and some propose to "moderate freedoms to preserve Democracy".
What a bunch of worthless shitstains.

[Leo656]

Twitter's the sh*ts, never used it and never will, but I LOVE how the hardcore Libs are freaking out about this because they're afraid of losing their echo chamber.

People like Mick Foley threatening to quit Twitter if Musk buys it. :lol: It's comical. It's just like the "If Trump wins I'm moving to Canada!" nonsense. If you can't handle that some people don't think/feel/act/speak in lockstep with your view, then the entire Planet Earth may not be for you.

They're freaking out because "OMG People might be allowed to post Mean Things!" Spoiler Alert: Welcome To The Internet, which is FULL of people saying Mean Things. And you know what MOST people do about said "mean things"? They ignore it. Can't ignore it? Then you have a complex. Think you're gonna "save the world" through censoring people? You won't. You'll only inevitably create an uprising, because people, by and large, refuse to be silenced.

All censorship is Bad by default, even if it's well-intentioned. It's inherently flawed because it relies on the idea that someone be made arbiter of what Is and Isn't Acceptable to say, and not only do such things shift with the wind, but such power comes with far too much potential for abuse. It might start with "You can't say the N word", but it inevitably comes around to simply shutting down anyone you disagree with about ANYthing, and any and all opposing speech becomes "hate speech".

It's like the "Punch Nazis" thing. Sure, in theory. Except that to most of the people who espouse such a nonsense slogan, EVERYONE who holds different views from theirs is a f*cking "Nazi", therefore it's absolutely meaningless. My Hispanic next door neighbor is a successful businessman, has a wonderful family and two adorable dogs, and is an incredibly friendly person who helps his neighbors and community. He ALSO has a "TRUMP: Keep America Great" flag in his garage (which he does not keep on display outside out of respect that some neighbors may not care for it). To a lot of people, that flag makes him "A Nazi", and therefore, I am supposed to "punch" him for it. Well... no, no, I am not going to do that. He does not deserve that. He is a Good Person who happens to support a polarizing figure. BUT, to a lot of people, the only thing that matters about him is that flag in his garage.

And those are the people freaking out about this Musk/Twitter thing, mostly. The ones who overreact that someone might disagree with their views and be allowed to do so out loud. Well, just tune it out if you don't like it. Nobody forces anyone to agree, and being allowed to voice an opinion does not mean people have to share it.

I mean, f*ck Twitter anyway. But in theory this is still a good thing.

[Sumac]

As I said before the best thing Musk can do it is to cancel Twitter and shut it down. Of course, there will be alternatives, but I don't think any of them would be able to keep a momentum like a Twitter, so all those rainbow-haired freaks won't be able to congregate at the same place. Look at what had happened with Tumblr, for example.

Such event, however, would mean more toxicity will spew at all corners of Internet, like what had happened after Quarantine zone known as Tumblr had fallen down.

Realistically, all freaks who promise to quit Twitter out of fear of "alt-right being mean" to their delusional soy-asses will stay there like good trained consumers. And for a Musk its just another opportunity to flex and troll his haters. It is unlikely anything will happen with platform - it is too profitable.

[Andrew NDB]

Apparently it is only "barely" profitable?

Huh? That is interesting. An informational monopoly...and one would think it makes a good money due to that.

[Coola Yagami]

I'm just enjoying all the meltdowns and people freaking out.

**** all those woke weirdos. If they're that thin-skinned that losing their little cancel culture echo chamber makes them have literal panic attacks, let the bodies hit the floor. It's their own fault for choosing to stay.

This is the internet, you either grow spine or log off.

[Leo656]

All the marks on the comments sections of every wrestling site are shocked that apparently, Mick Foley (and others) Just Now realized that Twitter's a f*cking cesspool and nobody should use it. :lol: Like, THIS is what it takes to make one realize? COME ON.

"I'm quitting Twitter!" is gonna be 2022's version of "I'm moving to Canada!" :lol: Especially in that 99% won't follow through and the 1% who do won't be missed.

[Andrew NDB]

Yeah, it's pretty amusing right now. A bunch of people on my timeline are trying to rally others and starting their own Twitter, where they can still be safe.

[Leo656]

I'd chip in two bucks for 'em to do that IF they promise to call it "Echo Chamber". :lol: Just avoid all pretense completely, y'know?

[Leo656]

I'm downstairs taking a sh*t, and the WHOLE time, the in-laws are watching MSNBC and ranting and raving about how Musk is a "f*cking asshole", "moron" and "scumbag" because "He's gonna let Trump back on Twitter!" :lol: So loud I can hear them with the door closed as if they were standing right next to me.

24/7 Trump with these types of Libbies. People say "Trump Derangement Syndrome" isn't real, when you've got people STILL ranting and raving about him for anything and everything even YEARS after he's ceased being relevant? Goodness gracious. I can't imagine what it's like having someone in your head rent-free 24/7 like that.

Thanks, Obama. It's YOUR fault we're stuck with these snowflakes. :trazz:

[Sumac]

As I said in another thread: it is incredibly amusing, how people who pride themselves on being so much smarter and mature, than opposition, can't handle defeat. Or just people saying: "No", to them.

It is behavior of generic abusers, not people "on the right side of history".

[newfan]

Well my account won't seem any different, I just like to follow my interests there. Seems premature for people to abandon ship before seeing how things go but that's up to them.

[Leo656]

They're exposing who they really are. "People I don't agree with get to have a voice? Well *I* certainly won't patronize any place that allows nonsense like THAT!"

[Andrew NDB]

And while I'm sure Trump's account will get unbanned (and why wouldn't it? he didn't do anything, and they've got major figures preaching actual genocide that they practice in the middle east and they're still on there) he's already said he won't. He's going to stick to this new "Truth Social" platform. Which at the moment isn't much of anything and I can't even look at it. You can only get on it if you have an iPhone (not Android) and there is no desktop version at the moment.

I kind of hope he just makes one new tweet, though. Even just a winky face. Just to drive them wild.

[Leo656]

I mean, I stay in the top half of the house, mostly. But when I go downstairs, they're watching MSNBC, and some talking head is talking about Musk and Twitter and how Musk says "It's about free speech". And they LOSE THEIR SH*T.

A sampling from earlier, and I'll remind you, These Are Quotes from "Good, Loyal, Democrats":

"Yeah, RIGHT. 'Freedom of speech', what a f*cking asshole! For people like TRUMP? BULLSH*T! You don't give people like THAT 'freedom of speech', that's ridiculous!"
"Exactly! People like Trump belong in f*cking JAIL, not on f*cking Twitter!"
"No, he should be shot in the f*cking FACE, jail's too f*cking good for him."
"Even better. Piece of sh*t."
"Give me the gun, I'll f*cking do it. I'd do it right now."
"Yeah, instead they're gonna let him back on Twitter, so he can spew more toxic hate speech crap!"
"F*ck it, throw Musk in jail, too, then. Asshole."
"Well of COURSE one rich c*cksucker is gonna stick up for another rich c*cksucker, that's what they DO. F*cking morons."
"Shoot 'em both, f*ck it. You stick up for Dump, you DESERVE to get shot in the f*cking head."
"People like that shouldn't even be allowed to TALK, period, let alone have millions of people listening to it and following it and any of that bullsh*t. HOW can he not SEE that?"
"Because he's a f*cking idiot. F*ck both of 'em. Assholes."

There's more, but a lot of it tends to repeat after a while.

Oh, and for comparison sake, here's some tasty bits from an hour before that, when they were talking about Laura Ingraham, who I know absolutely nothing about as a person, only know from occasionally seeing her face, and whose name I had to look up just now. Anyway, here's what these Arbiters Of Acceptable Speech were saying about her an hour before the Musk/Trump meltdown:

"That woman is such a lying c*nt."
"I swear she's gotta be a man."
"((Laughs)) Yeah, one'a them whattyacallem, transgender-whatever."
"Has to be."
"Or a closet lesbian."
"Yeah, a bulldyke, they call 'em. No man would ever have her, I mean why would they?"
"Ugly, lying bitch. Someone ought'a lock HER up, too."
"Then she could get with all the other ugly bulldykes, she'd LOVE that I bet! ((Laughs))"

Again... These are Actual Words spoken Just Today by a pair of people who ONLY vote Democrat, outspokenly hate Donald Trump and every single Republican, and sincerely think they're The Good Guys. And furthermore, people who are flipping out over Musk buying Twitter because "He's going to let people like Trump say mean things."

Breathe it in. Just really let it sink in deep.

On a related note, I've seen a sudden uptick in the past 2 years of people in the acting industry in Seattle suddenly dropping dead of heart attacks. All TDS types. Post-a-day and all. Fine one day and bam, there's a relative posting about their fatal heart attack the next day.

It's been pretty amusing watching the timeline of comments from leftists on social media about the Musk/Twitter thing. First "They better not let him buy it! They better stop him!" to "HAHAHA! They better make him buy it!!" to now "Wait, he's actually gonna buy it? NOOO!!!" and so on.

I can't wait for this to turn into a great example of how free market capitalism fixes problems, whether they are social or political.

Musk will come in and not hide behind socio-political bots posting on Twitter and manipulating people, whether it was Russia or BLM-marketing doing the posting. The old guard hid and didn't care because it drove users to Twitter while the peasants burned the countryside.

Musk will come in and cull the average, one-sided woke Twitter worker who chants for and enables a culture of cancellation and single-sided propaganda. The old guard didn't care, likely because it fit their schema and also likely because they didn't want their social-peasant-cancel-culture to turn on them.

This guy who always thinks he has big ideas... we'll see how long it is the inevitable dumpster fire before he power trips and decides he "knows" how to change that.

Freedom of speech is one thing if humanity could be trusted not to abuse it to high hell, but who would tolerate being the landlord of a dumpster fire forever.

Either way I've so rarely used the site, so imma just sit back with the popcorn.

Some of the meltdowns will certainly include people who don't believe there are consequences to their behavior and think others don't have freedom of speech to tell them otherwise. Screams of "canceled" will still be plenty.

Well if he does get back on there he'll just act like the ill tempered, irrational drunk uncle who was foolishly invited to dinner and remind sane people, who really need no reminders, why he shouldn't be regarded as captain of the GOP.

Was bad enough when there was staff trying to keep the craziness limited. If he's unbanned, since he's no longer in charge I kinda look forward to him making himself look insane.

[AquaParade]

The media really did a number turning people on Trump and convincing them he is absolutely evil. Can you imagine if he got a blowjob by abusing his power and lied to the country about it? Then people would really hate him. Probably.

Trump is a bit of a prick, and often disingenuous, but as far as politicians go, he’s hardly that offensive and at times even effectual.

[Leo656]

That didn't take long at all...
https://www.yahoo.com/news/racist-tweets-quickly-surfaced-musk-142357247.html

A wide range of anonymous Twitter accounts celebrated Musk's takeover and argued it meant the old rules against bigotry no longer applied.

"Elon now controls twitter. Unleash the racial slurs. K—S AND N—S," said one account, using slurs for Jews and Black people. "I can freely express how much I hate n—s . . . now, thank you elon," another said.

One account, created this month, included a Nazi swastika as its profile picture and retweeted quotes from Musk alongside antisemitic memes. Another tweet, showing a video montage glorifying Nazi Germany with the comment, "I hear that there have been some changes around here," was liked more than 400 times.

Racial slurs were posted rampantly overnight. One single-word tweet, showing a single racial slur in all capital letters, was retweeted more than 500 times and liked more than 4,000 times. It was tweeted at 9 p.m. Thursday night and remained online nearly 12 hours later.

Some of the Twitter influx was organized on other platforms, including the pro-Trump forum TheDonald, where its top posts Friday morning showed tweets celebrating lies about Trump's 2020 election loss and memes criticizing transgender people under the headline "When you can't get banned on Twitter anymore."


I don't think anyone should be either surprised or disappointed. When humanity shows you its true face, the only thing you can do anymore is shrug and say "Yeah... I know."

[Coola Yagami]

Yeah, sadly I was expecting this kind of ******** from the people that just don't understand nuance.

The whole freedom of speech thing was supposed to be keep woke idiots from getting people legit fired over saying stupid things like 'let's go Brandon' and 'I don't trust the CoVid vaccine' and 'George Floyd wasn't a saint'.

But of course these idiots would go full Nazi on this. Like if you don't want the woke to call you racist transphobic Nazi bigots.... maybe don't act like racist transphobic Nazi bigots?

From what I'm seeing though, a lot of them are just trolling right now.

I've seen a lot of people that don't really care about this stuff purposely posting stuff like 'there are only 2 genders', 'women don't have dicks', 'Trump is coming back' and other such things just to troll, purposely piss off the woke weirdos and to test Twitter to see if they'll get banned or not.

I haven't seen any people posting the n-word' or any slurs, but then again, I don't check up on those types anyways.

Anyone having a legit meltdown about this deserve it, ****ing first world problemed pampered bitches. People freak out over 'slurs' while I'm expected to be called 'LatinX' and say 'thank you white man, what other opinions should I have?'

[Galactus]

So Musk pays $44 billion to buy a failing business worth about $3 billion just to trigger the libs? What an idiot. I know that's not the only reason he bought it, obviously he wants to control the political narrative in order to influence outcomes of elections so they are more favourable to his bank balance. Even without the precedent for right wingers doing this and failing there's the fact that when Elon tries to play a major role in the running of his businesses they fail. The guy is a good hype man and nothing else which would be tolerable if he wasn't going to allow all kinds of prejudice on his platform to achieve his goal.

Speaking of a good flim flam artist...

The media really did a number turning people on Trump and convincing them he is absolutely evil. Can you imagine if he got a blowjob by abusing his power and lied to the country about it? Then people would really hate him. Probably.

Trump is a bit of a prick, and often disingenuous, but as far as politicians go, he’s hardly that offensive and at times even effectual.

There is an argument to be made about the power imbalance between an intern and the president of the United States as well the other allegations of infidelity but what you just boiled Bill Clinton's behavior down to certainly isn't evil.

Trump used his father's dementia to trick him into signing a new will that cut his brother out so he got all of the inheritance. When that same brother (who lived in poverty) asked Trump for money to pay for life saving surgery for his son Trump initialy agreed until he found out something negative his brother had said about him years prior and out of anger he didn't give the money and let the kid die.

The above actions alone take a special kind of scum bag but then there is also the fact that he deliberately didn't rent his properties to black people. Not that I think that he is especially prejudiced against anyone. It's clear he doesn't have anything against women who get abortions (he's paid for at least seven) or undocumented Mexican migrants (he employs many at his businesses) Muslims (he's well in with the Saudis) or even crooked Hillary (he was friends with Clintons for years) but he ran his presidential campaign unleashing a wave of hate against all those groups. Then there is how he literally tried to overthrow an election and when it didn't work deliberately riled up his army of idiots try and violently overthrow the government in an attack that got people killed. But nah he's totally not evil that was totally an invention of the media. Although if it changes your mind he's also cheated on his wives. He was even caught on tape bragging about to trying to cheat on his current wife.

[Coola Yagami]

Honestly though, whatever happens to these people, they have it coming to them for giving so much power to a stupid social media platform.

Yeah, FB might ban you for 24 hours or whatever, but no other social media platform has been given so much power to the point they're afraid 'Elon Musk owning Twitter will affect the election'.

**** those people. They get what they ****ing deserve.

[IndigoErth]

He's been overly concerned about "bots" on the platform, but does he care about foreign interests trying to negatively impact elections with conspiracies, propaganda, and "fake news" targeted at gullible people who won't fact check via more legit sources outside a social media site... That's more-so the power it has, whether he's the owner or someone else was, if outside interests get just as much enjoyment of American freedom of speech on the platform when they don't even live here. Not to mention terroristic groups...

Granted, what's to stop anyone for getting labeled a bot and removed if they still want you gone. Careful not to bitch and moan about the same things too often...

But a lot of that is just exaggerated CNN talking points, from the perspective of a diehard liberal. I wouldn’t even know where to begin.

You could make a ****-list like that for any politician too. With Clinton, maybe abusing his power as president to have a young woman, who worked for him, blow him, while married, and then lying to the country about it wasn’t the worst thing he did, sure…but it’s the equivalent of Trump’s “gram ‘em by the pussy” essentially, except, like, ten times worse.
But you wouldn’t really think that, talking to most of the liberal party these days.
Clinton’s skeletons go way deeper, but that’s the type of incident that people seem to forget, when they go absolutely bonkers calling out Trump for saying some gross sexual crap.

I just used that point because it’s unarguable. We all know it happened. We don’t have to get into a debate about it, like most of the points you bring up against Trump, which are arguable.

It’s not fun defending Trump but the media completely lost all credibility during his term. A lot of their bs worked and they were able to convince many people that Trump was a bigger liar then they are. That Trump is actually more divisive and dangerous than the mainstream media, which I don’t believe in the slightest.

Remember when Trump coined “fake news” and people used that to make fun of him. People would say “fake news” as a way to mock Trump and his supporters.
But…like, the mainstream
Media news is full of **** - he was totally right in that instance. But it got pushed by the media & other concerned parties and people ate it up, as if calling the mainstream media “fake” was just some ******** coming from Trump. Yeah, guys, let’s all just trust CNBC lol.

So when I get sprayed with a wall of “Trump did this and this and this and this”, I’m going to have to pause you and ask for a source for each one, before I take it seriously. Then I’m going to have to investigate that source. Such is the age we live in - the age of misinformation. It’s unfortunately hard to have political debate these days with so much bs flying around. Most of it coming from CNN, CNBC, Fox, and twitter.

[Andrew NDB]

He's been overly concerned about "bots" on the platform

Legally, he has. At a critical bargaining time. Though I'd love to get a better definition of bots. There is BOTS, per se. But then there is whole weeds of social media influencing companies you can easily pay that just go and create hundreds/thousands of Twitter/Facebook accounts and put thumbs up on this or that. It's easy to do and companies have gotten in trouble for this in the past, including Paramount. The way they get away with this today is by insulating themselves by putting a few companies between them and the end user.

[IMJ]

Maybe. Maybe not.

It's forum full of the emotionally-under-developed and life-angry chihuahuas. Exactly the cohort who would block you out of defeated-rage but then unblock you from time-to-time to see what you are saying.

Either way, the timing of her graphic is uncanny as compared to my recent posts and I don't give Indigo the credit of any rational thought born of her own head, so.....

I know you like her, but you know.... I get the impression that you'd **** a dog if it wagged it's tail atcha the right way. :lol: Also, she didn't ridiculously label you as an istaphobe because you out-thought her. So, you know... you're biased. :lol:

I think the number of bots posting on Twitter is incredibly indicative of the "outrage manipulation" that has been going on to affect the.... public. It's an incredibly prescient issue. But you know as well as I do that the lefties, especially the brilliant ones here, won't acknowledge that because it would diminish their perceived "numbers" of "just" folks.

[Sumac]

Yet they stay despite all the p*dos and warmongers who still have their accounts?
Apparently banning people who say that men can't become women is more important than banning actual terrorists and the like. But at least it shows what kind of priorities those people have.

But of course these idiots would go full Nazi on this. Like if you don't want the woke to call you racist transphobic Nazi bigots.... maybe don't act like racist transphobic Nazi bigots?
I mean, not saying that's the norm and that this isn't "just" an extreme fringe... but that fringe is looking a bit thick...
Most people who disagree with woke stuff are not like, though. Neither most regular liberals are genderbender commies.

As for why this **** happens - idiots want to bait other idiots. Given how fragile ego of SJWs is, they could had use more elegant ways to do so.

In general, I am glad that it is happening. Twitter has too much power over humanity and one way or the other it should have been either stopped or changed. Whether Musk will make it less "woke" trashbin or just destroy it with his cookie decisions remains to be seen, but either is fine, since I doubt, anything will be able to approach it in populatiry in a few next years, which mean humanity will be be free for some time. from this crap.

Yeah, yeah, all those "shamans" who were making photos, were a deadly threat to the American Democracy. If all revolutions and coups were like this, none would had accomplished anything.

Also, calling Trump attempting "a coup" and "forgetting" that few months before Democrats supported BLM riots to influence political opinion of population (essentially allowing innocent people to die and lose their jobs) is hypocritical at the very least. Evil at worst.
You are welcome.

He's been overly concerned about "bots" on the platform, but does he care about foreign interests trying to negatively impact elections with conspiracies, propaganda, and "fake news" targeted at gullible people who won't fact check via more legit sources outside a social media site..
You tell me, as it seems you are fairly knowledgeable about Left propaganda on Twitter.

[IndigoErth]

As I'd already mentioned, I rarely even use the site, so you can hold the nonsense. :roll: That was awfully defensive though when I purposely didn't mention a political side.

I did stop by it yesterday, first time in a while, looking for that sidebar of trending hashtags, wanting to see if the loons had filled it with awful stuff. Is that gone? edit: Via PC, not phone app, if that makes a difference.

[1987]

Heck yes! Bring Back Bigotry! :D

I am here for it! :lol:

The liberal meltdown of Elon buying twitter and re-instating Kanye is pretty entertaining to see.

In all seriousness though, I really stopped caring about politics, twitter, celebrities etc. Which is why I haven’t posted in a while. It was just getting too ridiculous and distressing, I just simply stopped caring. That said, it will still be pretty entertaining to watch the liberal meltdown when Trump returns to Twitter on Halloween Monday! Can’t wait!

I gotta say though, all politicians are just lying, greedy elite grifters, yes even Republicans are scumbags just like Democrats. I might not even vote this time around, as we learned in 2020 votes can be disenfranchised. That said, I do feel there needs to be some level of bigotry to maintain order in society. I mean come on, women with penises? Men who can give birth? Drag Queen story hour? C’mon man! GTFOH w that BS! :lol:

I thought of myself as a conservative the last couple years since the scamdemic began, but I’ve always had liberal qualities. I love smoking MaryJane, I love banging as many women as possible, yes I’ve even hung out with “working gals” before. I like buying and collecting overpriced plastic turtle toys. Hey why not, it’s my money. We work so we can have money for the things we love to do.

I’m certainly no “christo-fascist”, just cause I was against late term abortion but you know what? I don’t care about that anymore. Not like it really affects me if someone I don’t know wants to abort their baby. I wouldn’t want that though if it was my gf/wife. Anyway, I love pre-marital sex! I do wanna get married and settle down someday, but it’s also hard to imagine myself being with only 1 woman for the rest of my life. I discovered porn at a young age and I’ve always had sex and boobs and vaginas and a$$ on my mind 24/7.

I still stand strongly against and condemn forcevaxxing / forcemasking. My body my choice. Take your poison needles elsewhere! Not on my watch. No way am I sacrificing my health and testosterone “for the greater good”. I won’t give into the electric car movement either. F that.

F politics and politicians. Seriously. I don’t care what race or gender they are. I’m still working, living my life minding my business. I don’t watch TV or news anymore, cause whatever nonsense policies all those elite celebrities and politicians are advocating for to enrich themselves, really doesn’t affect me, and even if it did, not like I can do anything about it. Virtue signal all you want it won’t make a difference. There’s an agenda here, no votes or protests are gonna change what the NWO has planned. Just relax, smoke some 420, get laid, and enjoy life. :tgrin:

I'm sorry, but they're called TRANS-women for a reason. They're so stuck on this that this is why they're trying to create stupid new terms like 'birthing persons' and 'bio-women' and whatever else just to make their crazy logic work. People getting in trouble because they say men can't get pregnant, it's just nonsense.

General Motors "pausing" all of its advertising through Twitter for the time being, other large companies expected to follow suit. In the end, how much "freedom of speech" people are allowed to have on Twitter will come down to whether or not companies like Coca Cola and Disney want to have their ads pop up next to someone shouting "KILL ALL THE N*****S!"

Musk has promised that a "council" of "diverse-minded people" will be assembled in the very near future and that they will ultimately decide what Is and Isn't allowed on the platform. We'll see how that turns out.

It's a shame that so many people will fight harder for their "right" to be trash more than they'd fight for anything else in the whole world, but it is what it is. People Are Not Good.

[Coola Yagami]

Another thing I forgot to mention was these crazies have become so overly sensitive (or just looking for reasons to be offended/sensitive about it) where people can no longer make broad statements about either men or women without them acting like you wish death upon transpeople just because you didn't 'remember' to include them in your statement.

I forgot if it was Adelle or someone that won an Oscar or an Emmy or something and tweeted something like 'I feel so proud to be a woman tonight' and the transfolks tried to turn that into an attack against them.

It's going to get to the point where saying 'ladies and gentlemen' will get you cancelled/fired or be considered offensive or problematic or even hate speech just because you forgot to mention 'and any other gender out there'.

All of this seems kinda caca to me. If we're to take Musk at his word, this isn't about business or advertisers or anything else... it's about making a town square with, yes, free speech. Also, you left out the part about him saying he's going to introduce tons of filters for the people who have no spine and/or pink hair. As in, yes, you can comprehensively go in and choose what things you do or don't want to see. Some weirdo talking about "ni**ers" in some sh**hole town down south, great, you'll never see it. Problem solved.

The alternative is the far left dictating terms and shaping everything ad nauseum.

I doubt a lot of the blue hairs will actually use them though. The problem is these people purposely seek to be offended. They literally can't function without some sort of 'injustice' to fight against even though most of the time it's fabricated in their own woke minds. It's impossible to leave thing alone, they HAVE to seek out these people so they have a reason to bitch about something.

In a true leftist only echo chamber they'd go crazy. They need that kind of 'problematic' kinds of people to argue against and virtue signal about.

That whole 'I GOT VACCINATED' virtue signal thing, while I feel a lot of them feel the need to broadcast it, many of them do it just to purposely rub it in the face of the people that choose to either wait or refuse. Have everyone blindly agree and virtue signal and it ends soon because there aren't of those 'gosh darn ant-vaxxers' to argue against.

I would disagree with your first sentence... free speech includes slurs & full right for them to post their disagreements about trans folks. If you don't like it, ignore it and move on. Like a grownup. Respect is earned & delusional folks have not earned my respect. As evidenced by your later statements. I've been called a cracker before and rather than get offended, I usually ask the person "Ritz or Saltine?" & wait for their next idiotic statement. No one that identifies as a leftist or liberal or "progressive" has my respect.

I would love to see the absolute meltdowns this will cause. They value their blue checkmarks so much as if that makes you some sort of an important person or give them status.

Again, all of this is stuff they had coming because they chose to give so much power to a social media platform.

This post was intellectual reason. But you have to understand that intellectual reason is squashed by the emotionally life-angry. They are literally incapable of computing what you've said because their brain-chemicals are used to simply getting into an uproar-turned-tantrum.

It's like those two kids who got arrested some years back after violating the law and they sat their screaming, crying and having anxiety attacks while being put in cuffs and the one girl was screaming at the cops to let her go to her sister. It's like - you've been arrested you moron. There is not crying about hurt feelings like you are a special flower. :roll:

They just don't get it. It does not compute. It's like the board bimbos here calling people "istaphobes" when they run into an intellectual brick wall. It's all they've got. It's like asking a stock Pinto to track against a ZL1 - it's just not built to do it.

[Coola Yagami]

Yeah, it gets to the point where you can still be affected even if you yourself don't have Twitter.

Like a few months back, a pilot had some Let's Go Brandon stickers on his stuff. Some Karen took pics of him and the stickers and hashtagged the airline to see if he'd get fired over it. The airline made a statement which I hope was fake, just to shut her and her ilk up. But that pilot could have gotten fired over nonsense even if he doesn't even know what Twitter is.

That's the point where that platform has gone too far. Where your job is in danger even if you personally decided to turn off the computer and walk away and yet it can still harm you.

[1987]

I just can’t play the pronouns game. I know that may come off as “bigoted” nowadays, but so be it. I just can’t go along with that narrative. Standing by what I believe in.

I have no issue with gays, lesbians, or bisexuals, or any race/ethnicity or either of the 2 genders, but we all gotta draw a line somewhere, and for me it’s transgenders. c0ck&balls is not something any woman can possibly have. Those sick grown men masquerading as women need to be put in place. They make people around them uncomfortable, whether you acknowledge it or not.

As I said before I discovered porn at a young age, I already saw the difference between a man and a woman. Even as a kid I would occasionally come across those phone sex ads in old magazines, advertising “chicks with dicks” and it threw me way off and was disgusted by it. Even as a kid I knew that $hit was absolutely insane. No way as an adult someone can convince me that a man with c0ck&balls, a wig, and a boob-job is actually a woman.

Some of my friends used to joke around when we see a “passable” tranny they be like “man I don’t care I’ll bang that tranny”… I never found that kinda thing funny. I was disgusted by it.

Seeing my first naked woman in a magazine was love at first sight. I fell in love with the female body after discovering porn. Nothing can ever convince me that a mentally ill man can take the place of a beautiful biological woman. It just can’t happen in my mind. But I do worry for the younger generations, being born into this “woke” nonsense they kinda have no choice but to accept a trans “woman” with c0ck&balls. Me personally, I would NOT sleep with a “trans woman”, wouldn’t even touch one with a 40 foot pole.

I say the heck with wokeness and being polically correct.

BRING BACK BIGOTRY

It may be the only path back to normality. We need some bigotry to keep people in check, not let them go too far off the looney bin. It’s gotten out of hand. Now there’s children involved, being groomed to question their own gender and confuse them at a young age. We need bigotry to keep this from getting worse, and hopefully undo some of the damage this wokeness has caused. Bigotry is not a crime.

BRING BACK BIGOTRY

I'd rather just call it bring back common sense? Or at least the ability to be allowed to disagree or question the current narrative without repercussions. Bigotry is never a good thing.

Well that’s been tried and doesn’t seem to be working. There’s no middle ground with them. People still get offended by common sense, silly little things such as not using the correct pronouns, accidentally misgendering somebody etc. So if they’re gonna continue to play the victim card at every little thing, we might as well go full on bigotry. Which is why I’m starting to think that bigotry is the only solution, to keep the woke cult from progressing further into lunacy. Otherwise we’ll have about 6,327,729 new genders by 2030 unless bigotry puts a stop to it.

The thing is, it hasn't been tried, mostly because everybody is so scared of being cancelled over the scarlet letter which has become the word 'transphobe'.

Hatred and bigotry isn't the way. The way is encourage people to just not care, to remove this bizzare power they've seen to have obtained over the masses.

We need the companies to have the balls to either say no or to remain objective. So the next time the woke crybabies say 'OMG, THIS GUY USED A LET'S GO BRANDON STICKER' the company they complain to will just literally say 'so?' and leave it at that.

"This person misgendered me!" "ok..... and?"

"This person won't **** me, they're transphobic!" "um... no he's not" and keep sticking to that no matter how many times they try to make a big deal about it. Let them continue to freak out and expose how unhinged they are to the point other transfolk start to question 'oh god, do i look like that?' They'll eventually tell that one to shut up too.

"I'm a unicorn/dog/ghost/whatever!" "That's nice, but we're at work/school now so please act accordingly."

"I refused to work for you until you remove (persona/name/content) from the workplace!!!" "ok... there's the door!"

"OMG so the company just fired me cause they support (so and so) and I didn't want to do it!" "So? Don't want to do the job, don't get paid."

We just have to deny them the attention and grandstanding they value so much and eventually it's die down. It's like that one Simpsons episode where Lisa wanted to make a big deal out of her being a girl on the soccer team, and nobody cared because everyone was ok with it and they already had girls on the team, so she turns around and leaves.

And that was the funny thing, he wasn't 'crapping' on them. He was making jokes. This was a case of 'the jokes are funny until they're about me'. Then there's the case that these same woke trans crazies harassed Dave's trans friend into suicide. How inclusive, how accepting. Stunning and brave.

But yes, perfect example. More companies should just do what Netflix did and just.... ignore any backlash or demands after the fact as well. And that's the only way they'll stop this. Deny their power, and then ignore the woke backlash and cries for retribution. "Fire that guy!!" "Nope. " "but he's problematic!!" "so?" "OMG said company refused to fire said person" "So?" "but but but" " yeah exactly. So?"

So now if you happen to have a verified badge you're gonna have to pay $20 a month to keep it and Twitter staff have about week to implement the change or they're fired. Money grabbing right out of the gate.

[1987]

Ya know, I’m something of a transphobe myself. But does that really make me a bad person?

People have phobias of all kinds of things such as clowns, snakes, spiders, midgets, just to name a few. If they legitimately have a fear or phobia of those things, does that make them bad people?

It’s not like I’m calling for violence or advocating for their extinction. I just stay away from those types, the hormone voice has always creeped me out, even before I knew what it was exactly. I just feel that normalizing and justifying their behavior on a mainstream level, and attempting to indoctrinate an entire generation to be just like them, is a bit extreme and needs to be toned down a bit.

I suppose that’s where they justify the “drag shows for kids” movement. Trying to make those kids be accepting of transgenders and not develop phobias. But it can also be used for the wrong reasons, brainwashing kids to be confused about their gender potentially becoming trans themselves and who knows what else goes on behind the scenes, that’s messed up man.

I am transphobic. These people mutilate their own genitals, imagine what they’d do to yours! Oh the horror!!! :o

Good! Like I said before, that's what they get for putting so much importance on something so stupid. Like there is literally no point to the blue checkmark other than grandstanding. Like say Anthony Mackie lost his blue checkmark. So..... is he going to suddenly vanish in obscurity and Disney Marvel will drop him from any future projects? Will he become a has-been and never work on TV and movies ever again? No, of course not. Literally nothing will change.

And on top of that, these losers will still PAY for their little virtue signal tag. Charge em double I say.

I don't think it should be illegal for someone to openly call themselves a racist and for making racist remarks. But if you're going on a public platform to wish death upon groups of people, then you deserve to get banned. Don't expect any sympathy from me.

I specifically stated that I’m not calling for violence against those groups. But at the same time I am not gonna bow down and worship them like the media and celebrities want, and let them dictate my life. I just don’t associate with those people, they are a minority group and I am calling out the ridiculousness of the woke agenda that negatively impacts America, and the world.

They are trying to normalize transgenders so that it is now lame and boring to be a cisgendered heterosexual. Now the trans folk are becoming the nazi bigots attacking normal people, look what happened to Dave Chapelle. The trans community attacking a black man because someone was offended by something he said. Not cool. Companies putting up dozens of lgbtq/trans flags all around their buildings, like it’s an invasion. Trans folk are the violent ones, racist, and bigoted against cisgendered heterosexuals. You’re either 100% on board with them, or you’re the nazi and must be destroyed.

Build Back Better has failed us. Transgender supremacy is not the answer. Something needs to change.

Unfortunately this much is true. Nowadays a transperson can be a total and complete asshole, and no one is allowed to call them out because they'd be labeled a transphobe. Even fellow transfolk will be considered traitors.

We have transwomen, dicks and all, wanting to change clothes alongside the other girls and while THEY ALL HATE IT only a very few are brave enough to speak up because they know they'll pretty much become the poster child for transphobia going forward.

I mean, they even turned on Caitlyn Jenner, someone you would think would considered the number one role model for transgenders, because she said she doesn't think transwomen should be in women sports.

And while Ezra doesn't exactly fall on the same spectrum, we all know if he was a typical masculine cisgender straight male, he woulda been fired, cancelled and in jail years ago.

[AquaParade]

Trans people can be called whatever they want, but they can't do whatever they want. I think that's been hard to digest for some reason, but they're pretty much up against a wall. The sports and bathroom stuff just isn't going to fly for long, if you ask me.

[Coola Yagami]

The thing is people are pretty much always want to push the envelope. Gay people have literally nothing to really complain about (assuming TPTB don't actually overturn gay marriage) so now it's all about genders and transpeople. If they ever succeed in getting all they want, they might next move on to making zoophilia an accepted thing, or whatever else they can come with up.

They always need some dragon to slay, and once they already slayed it, they either look for another one or make one up.

I mean when you really think about it.... why is feminism still a thing? Women can vote, work, and pretty much succeed on their own. They won. The movement is obsolete. Now it pretty much devolved into flat out man-hating or the wish for complete erasure of men and masculinity.

[1987]

I think the trans trend will fade away. Transgenders have a very high suicide rate post op. These people are life angry, their families disowned them, must be miserable. Instead of getting them the phsychiatric help they need, big pharma wants to give them “gender reaffirming care”, mutilate their genitals, get them hooked on drugs, they just go downhill from there.

"Ten to 15 years after surgical reassignment, the suicide rate of those who had undergone sex-reassignment surgery rose to 20 times that of comparable peers."

But what they’ve been doing the last couple years is a bit too extreme. They introduced the concept of “theybies” and now encourage kids to be “non-binary” and choose their own gender, that’s just crazy. SAVE THE CHILDREN!

It's illegal to discriminate based on gender or race when hiring. Thing is, that doesn't cover whether you've transitioned or not, so it's probably "allowed" to not hire a transgender regardless of their sex.

I’ve been wondering that too, probably just for leftists to virtue signal and be as much anti-trump as possible. Seem like it’s just a fad right now, like how for a while all those Hollywood celebs were adopting third world children, now the new trend in hollywood is to have a designer trans kid. Alot of celebs the last few years indoctrinating their kids into lgbtqia+ lifestyles. So stunning and brave to be something the media wants you to be.

Seems like it, some sort of reparations payment owed to them. Also probably some kind of scam where most of the money is really going elsewhere being laundered for politicians. Or maybe some whackos will be encouraged to transition because of this free money.

Transgenders probably won’t be around long though, so retirement programs for transgenders is actually a good business. They have a very high suicide rate post-op, and since the families disowned them nobody will claim their assets. I see this as some kind of scam to enrich politicians. Sick world we live in now.

I am not sure why, since living in fear 24/7 is extremely damaging, but I guess, they need to create a boogieman themselves to drive themselves into religious trance-like frenzy, otherwise, everyone inside and outside will see their ideology is a sham and trash.

Man, people really hate this dude Rachel Levine, getting alot of hateful conments on his Twitter every time he tweets something. But that’s what you get when you put yourself out there like that, nobody even knew who the hell this guy was until Biden appointed him to a very high up government position, not because he was the best qualified candidate for the job, but simply because he is transgendered and thinks he is a woman. Now the guy is pushing for “gender affirming care” for children without their parents consent. WTF? This dude is absolutely nuts. He wants more people to be like him and the rest of the .01% population.

Obese man who thinks he is a woman, is the expert on physical and mental health. And he’s a pediatrician???!!! Dude is looking to mutilate genitals. This is horrifying.

This infamous tweet by the “Babylon Bee” got their twitter account suspended and is said to have lead up to Elon Musk buying Twitter.

Now they’re back on twitter and people are bombarding Mr. Levine’s tweets with comments such as “you’re a man”, “men don’t get periods”, “women don’t have penises”, “men cannot get pregnant” etc. That type of stuff would instantly get you suspended from Twitter before the Elon Musk takeover. Now it’s ok to say those things on there, I kinda like twitter more now 8)

I gotta say, a lot of these leftists obsessing on social media -- and pretty much daily -- about the imminent demise of Twitter are the same people with the "ANY DAY NOW!" every time Trump gets investigated or predicting imminent doom for all every time a new COVID variant is found. Like, it is ALWAYS these exact same people and they all say almost exactly the same things.

What's with all these hysteric types? Just a general weakness of thought? A need for quick and easy validation from like-minded whackos? What is this?

Yep. I have a cousin that is just like this. I'm in the middle of this thing. I'm a registered democrat that voted for Trump because he seems more like a classic democrat like JFK was back in the day. But if Bernie Sanders had won the primary in 2020, I might have went for him instead.

But my cousin has always stayed out of politics till 2016, and then she would literally recite everything I read from the far left, word for word. I would ask her, do you have any independent thought of your own in any way? Heck, I have a friend that is a lesbian and my cousin got all ticked when she found out my friend is a Trump supporter and called her a traitor to the LGBT cause, and my friend was like, wtf is the LGBT cause? If it's pushing for 10 years olds to get sex changes, then she wants to have no part of it.

But wait, if they destroy Tesla, then we won’t get any more electric cars and will continue to depend on fossil-fueled vehicles. And that helps their green agenda how?

But freedom of all speech, no matter what, and no canceling allowed, right?

In other news, most banned accounts to be reinstated, but Alex Jones will remain banned. So is Musk not for total freedom of speech and will cherry pick it instead?

If Musk taking ownership of Twitter caused the loons, who had not been banned, to immediately start screaming obscenities...can't wait to see what many of the banned people do when allowed back.

[Cowabung-Gal]

Normal people don’t threaten your life after you suspend their Twitter accounts.

If Elon froze their bank accounts or had them evicted from their apartments because of what they tweeted, then yeah, I’d get why they’d threaten him with physical retaliation. But they can survive without Twitter and they can always find other platforms. Before Elon took over, other people have been banned for way less, and to my knowledge, the only thing they threatened Twitter with was a lawsuit, if they felt it was even worth the effort.

But of course we’re talking about ANTIFA here; they feel so threatened by old ladies with walkers that they’ll block them from crossing the street and scream right in their faces (which actually happened in Canada). And threatening to do physical harm to Elon isn’t exactly helping their case, is it?

See, you are trying to meet the opinion as it was delivered to you.

The real foundational truth is that people like Indigo and other leftist at large simply assign their own miscalculated mental algebra creating the sum of "violence and threats" simply where it suits them.

But it's simple - threats of violence without room for interpretation can receive private-sector punitive response. However, perceived threats of violence because some is made "uncomfortable" should not receive a punitive response because that is too easily weaponized by people like Indigo or other leftists.

If people continue to meet the conversation on the level that the deranged leftist present it, then everyone is swimming in the pool of interpretation and no one is swimming in the pool of reality.

This is what Leftards want - a world where nothing is certain and any idea and opinion can be represented as completely opposite of its initial meaning. This confusion creates feeling of helplessness in people, since they can not be sure about their past, present and future and makes easily manipulated.

The same tactic used by certain totalitarian nations to control their population - when you don't know what truth is, you can't fight for it or even has your own clear opinion. Unless you are strong willed person who doesn't afraid of going against the gran and make mistakes.

In a manner of speaking, it is 1984 control, just reversed - instead information YOU want people to know, you overfed them with information from all possible sources, confusing them. Then you can easily remove information you don't like, since no-one cares whether it is truth or lie, for all people know its just another fake.

Alyssa Milano tweeted that she has given up her Tesla as a virtue signal in protest of Elon Musk Twitter and switched to Volkswagon EV.

Former richest man in the world and you just know that eats him up inside.

And this is a huge failure on his part. Just think about it:

1. He wants to buy to twitter partly so he can allow a lot of edge lord **** but mostly influence public narrative enough to change government policy to aid his businesses.

2. Decides he doesn't want that enough to pay $40 billion (a significant amount of money even for him) and desperately wants out of the deal but is forced to go through with it.

3. Through his own stupidity runs the whole thing completely into the ground. His attempts to influence voters has the opposite effect and the bad press causes the stocks of all his other businesses to plummet.

He may not be the richest man in the world anymore but he has got to be a contender for the stupidest.

Disney, Apple, IBM, Lionsgate, Warner Bros, and more, have pulled their advertisements from Twitter/X. Supposedly because of Elon Musk said something offensive.

Wonder if it has more to do with all the big tech CEO comrades meeting with their CCP leader Xi 2 days earlier and following orders, or the J6 footage that was released yesterday and circulating on Twitter/X. Free speech and not following the official mainstream narrative is not cool with WEF, globalists, commies, and DC establishment. Follow the money.

Sometimes it’s not even that someone said something offensive or whatever. If they simply “like” a certain post, or someone notices that they are “following” an account which they may consider nazi/biggot, that right there is enough to get them cancelled or fired, just for having the “wrong opinion”.

As for the companies pulling out of Twitter/X, the plot thickens. The media group that instructed all those companies to remove advertisements, “Media Matters”, uses the Democrats top lawyer, and also happens to be the lawyer of Ray Epps, the J6 protester accused of being a fed. Coincidence? Why would J6 “insurrectionists” be using liberal lawyers?

https://twitter.com/ChuckCallesto/status/1725898344340291695

Exactly what happened to the girl from Limited Run Games. She never even posted controversial views outright. She just liked other people's comments.

[IMJ]

Elon Musk's recent commentary about advertisers boycotting Twitter included this:

https://i.imgur.com/JRKwBZO.jpg

Sounds. Exactly. Like what I've said on these forums for years when pushing back against the scum leftist nonsense. For any "eyerollers" or "hangers on" out there - stop being the "peasant thinker" and start to see the reality:

IMJ Statements over the Years:
"These people are disingenuous. They are liars. Don't believe them" or
"Virtue-signalers trying to buy their way into 'heaven' while out in the streets hitting people in the back of the head"

Musk Statement:
"People who care about looking good while doing evil".

And so now, for anyone who understands or maybe who has always understood - now the consumer power lies in how you spend (a testimony to the self-winding engine that is capitalism, the backbone of the greatest society ever to be on Earth). And so the enlightened thinker will remove their dollars from the platforms who boycott "X" at this point.

Of course, the peasant thinker will boost their ego-virtue through a position to "fight the manufactured evil" narrative that Musk was "anti-sematic". Because there will always be a peasant-thinker. But the real evil is the "manufacturer" of the narratives that mobilize the peasant-thinker. "THE racism!" "THE misogyny!" Or Eurpoeans going on about "THE Trump!"

Elon Musk has complied after all and provided a list of X Holding Corp shareholders who helped the billionaire buy Twitter. And who do you think turned out to be the investors of the X platform?

That's right, Petr Aven and Vadim Moshkovich. Now it is absolutely obvious where Musk got such love for Russia and where the roots of “filters” due to anti-Russian publications grow from. Let me remind you who Aven and Moshkovich are.

Petr Aven is a Russian billionaire, founder of Alfa Group, which is one of the main wallets for Putin. This man is controlled by the Kremlin as much as possible, for example, in 2018 he traveled to Washington with his colleague Fridman to lobby on behalf of the Russian government to lift international sanctions on Russia. Aven is one of Putin's oldest friends. In general, without Peter's interference, Putin would be in jail rather than becoming president.

After all, Aven covered for Vladimir Putin in 1992, when he organized the illegal trade in export licenses. Aven promptly approved him as an authorized representative of the Ministry of Foreign Economic Affairs with the right of foreign economic activity, thus saving the future dictator from prison. Aven also attended a meeting with Putin on February 24, 2022 to mark the start of the invasion of Ukraine. He did not express any protest, started the special military operation and silently supported Putin. By the way, he along with Friedman is trying to get sanctions lifted, just yesterday he received another rejection in this matter.

Twitter is represented in the purchase by 8VC Opportunities Fund II, L.P., a company in which his son Denis works.

Vadim Moshkovich is a sub-sanctioned Russian agrarian billionaire who was a member of the “Federation Council of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation”. In other words, he was officially part of Putin's closest circle. Moshkovich owns Russia's largest agricultural holding Rusagro. Naturally, he also attended the meeting with Putin on February 24, 2022 and, like Aven, did not express any protest against Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

Also an interesting personality is Al-Waleed bin Talal Al Saud, who both personally and through his Kingdom Holding Company is represented in the list of investors as many as three times. This man continues his investment business in Russia and does not publicly support Hamas in the war against Israel. He regularly works with Rosneft, Lukoil and Gazprom on investments in Russia.

Knowing all of this, how can there even be a discussion about Elon Musk's bias? Everyone was thinking how is it possible that Twitter (X)'s stock is plummeting, advertisers are breaking contracts, and no one is doing anything about it. I mean, that's a direct loss to investors. But what everyone overlooked was the fact that investors didn't care about profits, they needed a platform to promote their narratives, such as: supporting Putin and Russia; lobbying to freeze the war in Ukraine; taking the Ukrainian agenda out of the top news; the righteousness of Hamas, etc.

It is now obvious that all the changes to Twitter that are ruining the platform are a consequence of Elon Musk's collaboration with people like Moshkovich and Aven."

Exactly. Mayhem's weird and largely opportunistic positioning continues.... :lol:

I can only imagine the cope he went through with Zuckerburg's recent announcement about the left; and the subsequent mental gymnastics Mayhem is doing in the background should he need to weave some argument against it here on the Technodrome forums.... :lol:

Or maybe he can rely on fellow clown RobertFidouchbag to call the opposition a homophobe or something like that.... :lol:8)

If it was misinformation, which seems likely, then good. You’ll scream foul, and quote the First Amendment, but it doesn’t come into play imo because there’s scores of other platforms available to ply your lies on.

Just all stuff that ended up being true later on. Like always, for the most part.

Seeing as it was apparently censored or pulled, how can you possibly tell, are you somehow privy to this censored content?

We would have to know exactly which kinds of posts were asked or demanded to be removed. For example, the "covid came from a lab" stuff was not considered true without sufficient evidence for a long time. You can't just throw accusations out there without anything substantial to back it up. Today, you could find some evidence pointing towards that so it wouldn't exactly be considered 'misinformation' now but it could be considered that back in say 2020/21/22 because the evidence just wasn't there yet.

Yet by the same token you could say, "I think COVID came from a bat, or a pangolin!" and that was totally cool. Also, no sufficient evidence. Beyond that being the "appropriate" narrative that was decided at the time.

But that's the thing. It was true. And the people that knew were silenced.

Bats, possibly, or birds, avian flu H5N1 had similarities to Covid. I think the original posts, misguided or not, were based on similar outbreaks originating from contaminated animal meat markets, which has evidence of occurring before. So there was previous there to back it up as a hypothesis.

Proof 100% where?

You go dig up stuff from 4 years ago. You were alive then weren't you? There was a time you weren't even allowed to say the virus originated in China.

The 'proof?' stuff is annoying considering we all lived it. Stop pretending you werent there. What's next, someone mentions the towers went down on 9/11 and a New Yorker that was a block away from ground zero asks for proof?

[Cowabung-Gal]

Basically pro-censorship people think that regular people are too stupid to come to their own conclusions and should let the government do the thinking for them and make all of the decisions. After all, the government has never led the public astray and always has everyone’s best interests at heart, right?

truth has value, evidence has value. You absolutely could say the virus came from China, that's where the first reported cases were and we saw it spread from there. But did we KNOW it came from wet markets? or a lab? or whatevertheheck? No, just theories, everyone was scrambling for an answer and somewhere to blame.

You could also go on Facebook, particularly in 2020, 2021, 2022, and find boomers posting every fake theory under the sun both about covid19 and the vaccines. I don't agree that all that misinformation should go totally unchecked, afterall it doesn't go unchecked on other platforms (Twitter has the community notes feature, for example) but without more information about WHAT they removed it's hard for me to really say how in the wrong Facebook may have been.

Never said I was pro censorship. I'm pro removing false and misleading information.

The media literally slammed anyone who called it the “Chinese virus”, stating that those who did call it that were xenophobes like Trump. I have a feeling that if it was a virus that originated in Russia, though, none of them would make a fuss over it being called the “Russian virus”.

What the government deems to be misinformation. Even medical experts were punished for providing other less popular opinions during the pandemic.

[Coola Yagami]

This is all stuff we all lived through. You don't get to start pretending it never happened.

What's next, pretending the left wasn't calling for the death of the unvaccinated?
