Any of you guys care to share your Twitter handle? I won’t because of OPSEC but I’ll certainly follow those of you who are comfortable sharing. Too much IRL info on my ARF posts to risk a connection for doxxing since I’m shitposting like the mad hatter on there.

It seems that the woke agenda is more important than saving the planet (for the leftists) considering the work Elon has been very successful with.

Elon Musk relying on AWS or Google Cloud is a bad idea for the same reason he bought Twitter to begin with.

I'd imagine the governments don't know what to do with this. He won't bend the knee for their propaganda and he will actually tell everyone if the government fucks with him so they can't pressure him behind closed doors. He has them in a tight spot. Now when they decide to run with a narrative literally the whole world will go to Twitter to see if there's a good counter argument or community fact checking
. The more they try to pressure musk the more blatantly tyrannical they look to the Average person. |

Enough of the psyops, censorship, threats, etc. Realizing, "Wait, hold up, THEY need US too", realizing that Elon changed their negotiating power. Maybe they DON'T like censoring for China, things like that. They trade "yay team blue!" for "Know what? I fucking own facebook/twitter/etc - I'm done with those 80 year old millionaires telling me how it's done, with the changing demands every month." Does their own SELF interest, kick in, and over-ride their political convenience marriages? |

If the EU/UK bans twitter there, it exposes the game. It will become inarguable to everyone, the serfs (Even the ones who voted for them) will realize that they're behind a great firewall, like China is. That "the Americans get to say what they want on twitter, and in public, and we don't." That'll get fuckin old. They will know they're second class citizens when they roll by their neighbor's house every damn day and see how they have it. |

Do think the kid with his dick and balls taped to his butthole pretending to menstruate is going to change his mind suddenly when he reads my tweet telling AOC she is a dumb bitch or that Biden is a pedo? Do you think his sorry ass excuse for parents are going to vote Republican if they see some mean tweets? I believe the battle lines have been drawn. There is no middle ground anymore. |
