Were you fired from there? I really don't care.

I'm just here trolling all these gobsmacked people who can't understand how we got to the point where we are doing fascism again.

Right. That's why I said, yup this is social media.

People get the leadership they deserve.
November 9, 2024 at 8:05 PM
Oh for just the last year? So you kept propping up not just after it was bought by a billionaire and a bunch of Saudis but also after they fired the moderation team and made verification something you paid for?

Lol brilliant.
November 9, 2024 at 7:27 PM
Really? Cause people generally don't like it when I point out their failures as people.
November 9, 2024 at 7:23 PM
Thanks for propping it up long enough to make America great again!
November 9, 2024 at 7:19 PM
I meant more the progressive supporters that want to cancel people for using the wrong pronouns or think that they can balance the scales of their wealth by donating money instead of not participating in the capitalism they pretend they are better than.
November 9, 2024 at 7:06 PM
I just started using it so I could point out to people that they are dumb for a couple weeks.

I'll be off it again soon and go back to none of this being my fault.
November 9, 2024 at 6:56 PM
To tell people I am better than them for a couple of weeks before I delete it.

Because I don't use social media because it poisons minds and democracies.

Because I am better than most people and none of this is my fault.
November 7, 2024 at 10:43 PM
Well again, I was speaking more broadly about how social media works.

Pointing out that people are fools if they think they are going to use the tools of the billionaires agaisnt them.

I deleted Twitter years ago. I came here to point out incontinent truths after the election for fun.
November 7, 2024 at 10:36 PM
I have a good time. But I'm usually not hanging out with the retail therapy or social media crowd.
November 7, 2024 at 9:50 PM
It sounds like you are good enough for some people. That's pretty cool.
November 7, 2024 at 9:44 PM
And it's created a generation of people with self-esteem and attention span issues.

It makes people into products.

Your data is then sold to the corporate overlords and used to sell you shit you don't need.

It's Boromeir thinking he can wield the ring against the forces of darkness.

It is the darkness.

Social media is fucking brain poison but you won't be able to convince people of that on social media. Cause they are addicts. Addicts only care about a fix.
November 7, 2024 at 9:24 PM
So that's when people should have left.

Or after they fired the moderation teams.

Or removed the verification system.

But people didn't. They argued with Russian bots and gave the site legitimacy.

Now they are here looking for a new bed to shit in.
November 7, 2024 at 9:20 PM
Well I'm blocked from the original post but if I remember correctly it was something about "seizing power" by trying to create viral content on social media.

I pointed out that it is folly to try to use the tools of the billionaire class against them.

Then I got blocked and you started arguing.
November 7, 2024 at 9:13 PM
Well, if your frivolous refuge involves spending time and money on things that support large corporations or the billionaire class, then yeah, you are the cause of your own misery.
November 7, 2024 at 9:09 PM
A tech billionaire bought Twitter along with investors that are foreign adversaries.

That's siezing power.

The power of rightwing media comes from billions of dollars in dark money that prop up platforms and influencers.

Plz explain what I am missing.
November 7, 2024 at 9:01 PM
So engaging with Russian bots on Twitter is a winning strategy?

Sharing memes over social media isn't "seizing power."
November 7, 2024 at 8:54 PM
Except that the cost of engaging in many of those acts of frivolity is why people are so despondent they need a refuge...
November 7, 2024 at 8:51 PM
Yes!!! All this place is lacking is blind hero worship of celebrities!!!
November 7, 2024 at 8:44 PM
Again, I was blocked from the post. I don't know what vile language you are referring to.
November 7, 2024 at 8:41 PM
How come Biden expanded the tariffs from trumps first term instead of removing them?
November 7, 2024 at 8:38 PM
Am I the MAGA you are referring to? Cause that's hilarious.

And are you in the habit of blocking opposing viewpoints? Real progressive.
November 7, 2024 at 8:36 PM
I can't see what you are referring to, I was blocked from whatever this post is.
