He/him. UK. I post trite opinions on global events. Big fan of freedom.
Note that the US isn't complaining about Chinese, Russian or Saudi 'censorship'.
Because a fascist US regime isn't threatened by genuine authoritarianism in other countries. It's threatened by liberal European democracy making it look bad and not joining in on the corruption.

🇺🇸‼️ Trump and Putin share a craving for status. That’s why they both want to destroy Europe, — Opinion in The Guardian
📍Putin knows that his aggressive revanchism will not bring Russia love from the countries whose respect he so desires. He hopes that at least he will be feared.

So the pretence is over on Venezuela. And it now looks like escalation is actually imminent
Trump on Venezuela: "Getting land, oil rights, whatever we had -- they took it away because we had a president that maybe wasn't watching. But they're not gonna do that. We want it back. They took our oil rights. We had a lot of oil there. They threw our companies out. And we want it back."

Even if you *could* "fix" the nazi platform — WHY WOULD YOU BUILD ECONOMIC VALUE FOR A WHITE SUPREMACIST. I swear people are goddamn fools. "Tell your progressive friends to go buy a Tesla so that other Tesla drivers might like us better?" Money is power. Don't give Musk power. Read a goddamn book.
You can’t “fix” X, The Everything App by going back and posting there because the owner has this thumb on the scale of the algorithm to promote the worst ideas and people. It’s not a viable solution, you have to let it go.

People who ignore the fact that Elon Musk is basically a nazi and his platform is a project of white supremacy are either stupid or worse share his views. We don't have a duty to keep them company. And the fact they are 'normal' people doesn't change that. We need leadership to stand up to it

Kemi Badenoch was born in England. When this prick says she wants to import people from her "nation of origin" what does he mean?
It's blatant Naziism being laundered through what passes for the British press and it's past time to reassert 'virtue signalling'.

End of small boats crossings pause exposes fragility of migration debate
Quietly, ministers welcomed the timing. Public pressure over Channel crossings has remained intense, and the absence of arrivals offered a rare moment of political breathing space.

Yes lots of people say the things that Farage and the rest of Reform say. And those people are racists and homophobes.

And all that stands between them and losing everything is a fair trial.

This post by the world’s richest and most divorced man on the site he bought to promote his far right extremism is ripped straight from the Klan messaging of the 1870s or the 1915 film Birth of a Nation that inspired the Klan’s rebirth as a PR stunt/Ponzi scheme/terrorist organization in the 1920s.
