It looks like the richest man on the planet getting involved in the most powerful nation and conditioning everyone that Nazi salutes is actually okay because mental health or whatever works for the narrative.
I agree. In fact, I already told you that.
Yep. And this site has gone to shit (still good) ever since it became a second-hand twitter feed imo.
He's actually right. Complete disengagement of social media sites is precisely how they die (as with any traditional newspaper). That or people move elsewhere. Disengagement either way.
️Leave him alone he’s dorktisitc
Must have been on X because I didn't see it.
Oh, we can't fight Nazis now?
He's actually wrong.
I own 0 social medial accounts. But he's right. You should divest attention from that space (in terms of engagement) if you personally want to make a contribution. Up to yourself.
I don't really think there is much benefit in being on X to fight against Musk anymore. Perhaps at the start but now it's gone too far in one direction. Best to do it on less problematic platforms.
dont worry, i'd rather unblock elon and read his entire profile than start debating meat again
Honestly think it's like buying the sun on a daily basis because "someone has to check the lies they're spreading".
The best way to fight is to leave in droves
Subtle flex to prove you're morally superior?
I was joking man. I am thinking about deleting my Twitter account. I probably use it more than anything so will be quite hard but I hate Musk so much.
It's true, everyone knows that unless most of us are white, we will suddenly all die.
My brother has Asperger’s, and I can confirm he has never performed a Nazi salute.
Different media. You can have long-form discussions here and short-form. Essayists thrive here and they don't exist on Twitter except a link to a different website or reading in embedded form is basically a degenerate form of argumentation (in media terms).
Your relief must be palpable, as must his! Can confirm I know a few with Asperger’s and they’ve not seig heil’d at me to date.They will I fear. In the hope they will rise or be chosen.
probably been faking all these years in an elaborate benefits scam.
Is social media part of the reason for the lack of visible protest? Musk and the like are dangerous, racist people and although there's a lot of talk about it, that's all it seems to be. When it gets to critical mass I'm sure that will change, but the actual movement seems to be individuals with a lot of people agreeing rather than organised dissent with plans.
Fragile in theory. In practice, not so much?
Since Ancient Greece (and well-before that) in terms of economic structuring along tripartite "levels" of citizen. It's Babylonian and goes back a long, long time.
Modern day "caves". If you're convinced you've won the rhetorical battle online, are you going to go marching the next day? Sometimes, but mostly not. It's been a disease on culture in my opinion. The upside, which has to be remarked, is non-legacy media which media has always been propaganda. However it is nuanced as the new media, independent journalism with large audiences, can range from great to unhinged.
In historical terms, revolt is the exception despite the oppression being pretty much continuous to various degrees.
