You'd think we were evil and each of us personally started our day by gassing twenty minorities before breakfast.

Wait...you don't?

This is the funniest shit I have ever seen. At this point, I don't even care if Elon Musk is an Illuminati controlled opposition plant or not. This is just too fucking funny.

Oh no, Twitter is going to turn into Kiwi Farms!

Kiwi Farms in the Minds of Twitter Denizens: I MURDERED SO MANY TRANNIES TODAY. I RIPPED THEIR CLITS OFF THEIR AMHOLES AND FED THEM TO THEM. I LITERALLY SET LGBT PEOPLE ON FIRE WITH GASOLINE.


The Real Kiwi Farms: Hay guyz, I made pumpkin pie

Why did he win that case, actually? That case is one of the reasons I don't really like the guy. Seemed like a pretty cut-and-dry case of slander to me.

he won because he's rich. I wouldn't be surprised if he has or would admit as much.

Money is an ideology unto itself. Unlike a lot of other people with 'fuck you and your country' amounts of it, though, he doesn't seem to care about hiding that fact.

This dummy should think harder about why Musk won the Pedo Guy tweet case. In a free country, it's never the speech itself that's restricted, and freedom is speech is absolute.

He shouldn't have won, the retard ruined a man's reputation out of pure autism and got away with no consequence, fucking common law has been a disaater for the anglosphere

The problem isn't food production, its food delivery. Even if you fix the delivery issues, unless you are foie gras'ing the poors, often that food is bartered away or stolen.
Most of the Somali food aid was seized by warlords and a good portion rotted due to improper storage.

Let me also tell you a pair of stories.

First, did you know that in the 70s Kenya was one of the top places in the world for textiles? They had factories, lots of employed people, and now the industry is all but removed. Why? Because Kenya, being english-speaking and relatively stable made them them a source for clothing donations. Suddenly the Kenyan textile markers were flooded with first world cast offs. As donations, they were nearly free for sellers. The quality was also above what the local outdated factories could produce. The clothes were of such high quality that the term for the industry translates to "A white person has died" (or a little less sensationally, "Community donations from the funeral of a wealthy white person") because the Kenyans could not comprehend anything less severe than death parting people from clothing this fine.
Attempting to help destroyed any hope the Kenyans had of using trade to boost themselves. Instead they became dependent on handouts.

Mexico also severely restricts US corn imports. Because the USDA attempted to do a good deed by donating surplus corn harvest to Mexico food programs. The resulting decimation to the Mexico farming industry bankrupted a significant percentage of small-time farmers.

Handouts don't work.
And its even worse when its food. tl;dr International aid during the ethopian famine in the 80s caused Ethiopia's population to grow. Instead of being "Oh than god we can eat boy am I glad we excaped that near miss", people decided they were going to have another 12 kids since they can eat.
Unless food aid is tied to forced sterilization, you are only making the problem worse.

Handouts of products like those do work as a way to make countries dependant on imports, while handing out modern machinery and building more efficients power plants(they even got cucked out of nuclear energy)would make them competitors and the west never wanted that

"I will be here, serving the customers."

Reminder.

Twitter is a free service, the users are not the customers, the advertisers and the people buying data about the userbase are the customers.

I wish all the people who cared about Musk buying twitter and claims it's a "threat to our democracy" cared this much about China buying US politicians which is an actual threat to their democracy.

So not only do we have an expose planned on Musk from NYT, and the White House looking into section 230, but we also have the app stores possibly pulling Twitter.

What does that tell you?

I guess I somehow missed it when it first came out but damn, yeah he actually won the case. I always assumed that saying Musk 'won' was an exaggeration or something, like in reality he settled with the guy but everyone counted that as Musk getting a W or something. But no: the jury actually found that he wasn't defaming the Thailand diver by calling him a pedo (...somehow?).

That's an interesting comeback.

That Musk will just make his own servers, hosted in Florida, and make it much easier to use in mobile Web browsers than it already is?

"You're censoring us for wanting go censor you!"

"Your retarded opinion is shit" is not censorship. "We will ruin your life and muzzle you for expressing unapproved opinions" IS censorship.

 

[ScooterL]

Because he demonstrated that he didn't intend the tweet to be taken seriously and harm the man's reputation (which it didn't).

 

[Cilleystring]

I'm surprised there aren't more woke folk celebrating free speech thinking it means they can be more open with their fetishes for children, like Jacob Blaustein or that other Synthia Dragon retard who made front page yesterday. They've been trying to push that the right are the true and honest enablers of cancel culture and censorship (Florida mathbooks etc) so they should be happy about getting more free speech.

Yeah I know, rules for thee but not for me etc

 

[Lemmingwise]

Can't wait to watch Twitter burn down.

Idk what Elon's plan is but if he's not trolling with running a "to the letter of the law" free speech internet platform it's going to lose infinite money. You can reply to brand sponsored tweets just
Hello brand here's the most offensive image I could find that's still legal to post on your timeline.

Certain government accounts by law can't block people so now I have to literally break the law before these people can be free of me?

I guess Elon's the one person who could fund this money pit forever so we'll see, should be interesting at very least but I highly suspect once people start testing the limits it's gonna turn into a trash fire.

I wish we were having the conversation on the Apple app store and other barriers put up by monopolies that prevent alternative platforms from making it instead of relying on benevolent billionaires to buy out platforms and run them as a public service. Hopefully Apple boots Twitter app and forces the government's hand with the antitrust stuff they've been sleeping on for the past 25 years.

You're wrong. Youtube and twitter are both underperforming since they clamped down on free speech.

Because the bottom line is that any place becomes less and less interesting if it's all one big ad, whether for politics or products. Over time people notice it, which is why even leftoids use "reddit" as an insult.

In fact, there was a time where brands used the wendy strategy for a while, of posting mildly offensive things that broke with their cookie cutter clean version and it caught a lot more eyeballs for a while.

Musk bought the platform using tesla shares as collateral. Much like tesla itself and his rockets, he is again going all in and putting everything on the line. He also overpaid by significant amount. So he has significant incentive to make twitter more profitable.

These guys are talking as if they're war veterans, they're such fucking adult children.

Will no purge be necessary because they'll all leave out of butthurt, or will enough dyed-in-the-wool ideologues have the sense to

Wow if only that $44 billion wasn't put into the "Buy Twitter" machine and disappeared into oblivion forever, never to be used again.

Otherwise the people who got the $44 billion could use it for that stuff.

I swear these people lack basic critical thinking skills

Tbf it'll probably go to Black Rock's house buying fund, rather than the UN which these people consider some kind of holy organisation because of half-forgotten grade school propaganda.
