  • What are you on about? That is so incredibly far from anything I said

    Being on Twitter doesn’t make you a Nazi. That’s a wild fucking take

    Pick a leftist voice, or basically anyone who does public messaging. Look at their socials - Twitter is on there.

    Why? Because the largest audience is still there! And yeah, the platform is controlled by a Nazi, and it boosts Nazis. It’s a cesspool. People should migrate, to mastodon preferably. But they haven’t, because it’s a process that takes time and work

    But labeling everyone still on Twitter a Nazi, or even a Musk supporter, is just putting your fingers in your ears and declaring the Nazis have won already


  • Lol. I accept that the Nazis exist, and that they’ve taken over mainstream social media

    I also don’t use mainstream social media and I strongly encourage others not to. And I also face reality. People value their dooms scrolling too much to listen, only one person in my life has made a change, everyone else shrugs and says that’s where their friends are

    Any platform that allows Nazi speech is a Nazi platform, but not everyone on a Nazi platform is a Nazi. Social media grows and shrinks according to the network effect… Twitter will only completely die once another micro blogging platform becomes the default. We’ve seen it play out over and over

    You have to accept reality as it is and meet people where they are. Applying your own morals to others does nothing but make you feel superior in your own little bubble


  • If that was true, why is there constant news about him getting butthurt from critical tweets and using his authority to suppress them?

    There’s a lot of people still on Twitter for a simple reason that has nothing to do with Musk… Getting a population to relocate is hard. That’s where they were before the takeover, that’s where all types of public figures have to be to reach followers, and so that’s where people go to interact with them

    It’s going to be a slow decline as alternatives slowly grow to critical mass, and eventually the dead platform will no longer be the place with the biggest reach to most intended audiences




  • It absolutely is… Basically anything spread to advance a cause or change behavior is technically propaganda. Generally, we use the term just when it’s done by or on behalf of a government, and especially when it’s pushing disinformation, but it’s all propoganda

    The purpose of this is to push support, or at least normalization of, harsh treatment of Mexicans in the US or on the border. It’s also an intimidation and humiliation tactic

    No matter how you slice it, this is blatant propaganda









  • Yep… It also puts pressure on Bukele - I mean, remember his comments to the media

    “I can’t smuggle someone into the US, and I’m not willing to let them walk around my country, so I guess there’s nothing to be done”

    The man didn’t say he wouldn’t return them, he made it very clear the ball is in the US’s court and he hasn’t been asked to give him back. He said it was impossible to see the victim, and yet when a US senator still showed up they arranged all this

    America is the customer buying a service here…a customer known for having a huge crew of assassins with lots of experience overthrowing South American countries


  • Did he?

    I’m completely serious, I have legitimate doubts about if Luigi is the adjuster. Everything about the arrest and (apparently illegally) collected evidence is extremely skechy.

    After almost a week, the guy who escaped NYC cleanly (while leaving a backpack full of monopoly money in central park and signed bullet casings at the scene) is carrying around a signed confession and the murder weapon at McDonald’s?

    There’s literally no other evidence than what they allegedly found on his person. The guy doesn’t look that much like the person/people in the videos, the way they found him (an old man reporting to a cashier that a person with only their eyes visible looked like the shooter from the security cams) is sketchy as hell, and the evidence is straight up out of a police wet dream about the perfect arrest

    This guy deserves a trial, like everyone does. The state apparently has no case against him at this point too

    So why does every conversation start with assuming he did it?
