Maybe I'm misunderstanding it, but the whole thing seems like a very obvious "both sides are in this together" move.

No, it’s a “Disney cut off the bribes, them tried to interfere in State Politics” move.

You need to go touch grass, and I wish I could rate you autistic.

Jesus Christ, the media has lost the plot so fuckin hard you'd think this was an anthology series.
Maybe Elon buying Twitter was the best power move he coulda made.

Man certainly knows how to shitpost with his endless billions. And very much willing to put his (fake) money to back up his talk.

Hey what would happen if Musk buys Youtube? He's friend with Larry Page, one of Googles founder, so its probably not going to happen. Still Musk bought Twitter, so food for thought.

The world would be better off.

Musk might be willing to drop another 50 billion probably but Google isn't obligated to sell Youtube either so I doubt it.

What you should be thinking is something smaller. Something like Vimeo (lol), Instagram or even a Bitchute equivalent. He already has the captive audience, so he has a chance to also promote lateral services.

What's your solution to the problem of free speech getting cracked down on and groomers getting into the curricula? If calling all this shit corrupt and a sham is me doomposting, fine. What do we do to stop it then? Are DeSantis and Musk actually doing good stuff?
>inb4 glowie
I seriously don't trust DeSantis or any politician, or Musk or any businessman. As far as I'm concerned they're all equally corrupt. If I'm coming off as a doomposter telling you to "just give up lol", I don't mean to. I'm not saying nothing should be done or nothing matters, I'm saying what these blatantly corrupt people are doing to, supposedly, stop corruption is probably not as genuine and altruistic as you think it is. Not that something shouldn't/can't be done, but that the solution should be coming from somebody who's not a longstanding part of the same system they're claiming to fight.

The real problem is that you're being overly cynical, I think. I agree with a lot of the premise behind what you're saying but it doesn't line up in this situation. Elon Musk isn't the kind of guy who's connected in such a manner that they'd have shit on him, like someone who went to Epstein's sex and drugs theme park. I get also what you're saying about Disney, for example, but when someone who pays for your campaign betrays you it's viewed as a betrayal, not as something that you brush over with money and honeyed words.

That said I dislike the people attacking you on the grounds that you're "doom-posting". You're not, clearly, you're being cynical. And while I might disagree with the degree to which you're taking it, being optimistic and hopeful makes no fucking sense in our current age after so much has come to light about various pillars of society including medicine, politics, news, media, etc. While I get that a person of a more light-hearted or hopeful bent can be annoyed by negative takes, I find it insulting to automatically tar and feather, and ultimately dismiss someone for having the audacity to present an alternative opinion that's more grounded in the reality of the world we live in.

Yes, it's weird and borderline absurd to think that Musk was able to buy Twitter because he's on someone's payroll, or leash, or whatever. But it's equally spastic and strange to act as if though things that are conspiratorial in nature can't, won't, or don't actually happen in our lives after the past decade. Reasonably speaking, Musk most likely bought Twitter as a massive fuck-you for being fucked over in some government deal on EVs or whatever as he's a fairly smart guy, and even water-heads with the kind of cognitive abilities that grant you a yellow helmet and a pack of crayons could tell that Twitter had become the media arm of the current regime(s) in the west. As far as him being involved with China, while I think it's a catastrophic mistake for any business that deals in engineering or tech to be producing fucking anything in China as they'll eventually just steal the plans and pretend they invented it, I have no reason to believe that Elon himself is under any kind of threat from the CCP wrt his business.

Ever since this announcement, it's been kinda hilarious to see people be like "I'm leaving Twitter forever!!!!1111!!!111", and it's usually always the artists with like 100k followers that are obsessed with likes and ratios. Like who are you kidding, if you weren't able to quote retweet JK Rowling with your shit takes, then you'd lose your only personality trait.

I admit it's a very cynical take, but that's become my worldview over the past decade and is a thing of faith to me. I just think that the world's fucked, and it's fucked because of us. We won't be the ones to save it, and anybody who presents themselves as a would-be messiah, be they Trump, Obama, Musk, or Putin, is misguided at best and malicious at worst in my opinion. But that's a very cynical take, and it might not be true, it's just the take I have and the belief I hold. There are good people and good things can happen, but I don't think a major politician or huge businessman is gonna be involved no matter who or what they are. I get why some people would consider that doomposting, and I guess it's almost along the lines of "Christian Nihilism", something like "the world's insubstantial because only the Lord can truly fix how deeply corrupted it's all become", but I really don't wanna be preachy and to the guys I've been arguing with, sorry if I've come off that way or as some kind of doomposting contrarian/sperg.

While I may disagree with that level of cynicism, it's an understandable perspective to have.

Yes, coddling mentally ill people influenced by DOTR ideology instead of trying to snap them back into some sense of balanced reality versus the ones they have created in their heads that override obvious facts is good for them. I'm sure that flip shooter from 4chan just needed to hear someone like LurkTrawl say, "There there, everything is actually as grimdark as in your accelerationsist fantasies. There's no good news, dear, ever. All hope is lost forever just like you think," would have helped him.

Just treat these people like the the left does troons. Mocking them for believing in things that are certifiably incorrect is bad because people with seemingly violent and authoritarian leaning world views are such fragile delicate creatures that can't take mockery. We should allow them to live in their burning hellscapes where everyone is against them in their minds whether it's true or not. Who are we to judge them, and what could possibly go wrong with radicalizing people with apserger's syndrome who think all hope is lost?

If any Aliens are using Twitter as their source to contact humans it's a pretty sure bet they've already put us on the genocide list.

 

[pen burger]

heard talk on the all in podcast about the posibility of building the algo/moderation based on the constitution/established law. The gist was that all of the "free speech" waffling is unnecessary as there's plenty of legal precedent for what is and isn't protected speech and that this was a workable solution.

I'm not spastic enough to understand it all but David Sacks is semi based, Chamath is a sperg, they all know Elon and tech and it seemed like a no-brainer to them. Would be very interesting to see if it plays out.

I don't know how all in Musk will go, but troons will no longer be a protected class on Twitter anymore at least.

Good job on very confidently misunderstanding and/or misrepresenting everything I've said.

What the actual fuck is wrong with you that you'd automatically equate someone who is being cynical with someone with homicidal tendencies? The guy's not any more mentally ill than the deranged fuck calling everyone who doesn't have an optimistic outlook mentally ill.

You have a large set of brass balls to rattle this spiel off after calling anyone mentally ill.

He literally said DeSantis, the guy who legislated against troon sex shit in schools, is part of a pedo cabal working with Disney to try to rape kids. Did you not read what he even said in this thread? You either didn't or you are some kind of Mr. Rogers Neighborhood level of naive about what people obviously influenced by storfmag ideology actually believe.

Did you ever ask these people what their solutions to these problems would be? If you believe all business/government is in some kind of demonic blood pact and even when they say they want to help your side they're lying as part of a conspiracy, what is the solution to that problem, smart guy?

Yes I read what the guy had to say and at no point did he accuse anyone of being "part of a pedo cabal" or "trying to rape kids". You're pulling some real "I know what he's thinking because I can read between the lines" shit. To say nothing of the fact that you went from accusing him of being a fed to now accusing him of being from Stormfront. Pick one.

Did you ever ask these people what their solutions to these problems would be? If you believe all business/government is in some kind of demonic blood pact and even when they say they want to help your side they're lying as part of a conspiracy, what is the solution to that problem, smart guy?

The guy has stated multiple times now that his solution, like most overly-cynical folks, is to worry about himself while all the shit around him collapses. You have a serious problem with labeling people and treating them by whatever label you slapped on them, correctly or otherwise, and running with that as your lens through which you view their opinions. As a guy who's neutral on the subject and don't think this is anything more than a scorned rich guy getting some spite-fucking in on folks who mock him, like I said, I think he's being overly cynical and you're being overly optimistic. But at least he's not coming off nearly as unhinged as you are as you're spouting off shit the guy didn't even say.

And the reason I bothered posting to begin with is that I read the whole exchange from the start a few pages ago.

 

[Mothra1988]

Okay, it's obvious you didn't read his posts then. Here let me pull up the one I'm referring to that is only a few pages back:

And the conflict between DeSantis and Disney isn't genuine, no. It's meant to distract people while groomers continue to push their agenda into schools and spread it further, an agenda both DeSantis and Disney support.

How the fuck does that not imply what I just said it did, genius? He literally said DeSantis and Disney are in on trying to have kids raped. Plain English. Can you not read?

I don't know maybe if you didn't even know what you were talking about because you didn't read it you shouldn't come into the thread and start giving him asspats because you thought people were being mean to him for no reason. Someone who said crazy schizo shit was mocked. Oh no, go call Oprah or Dr. Phil.

Been banned twice for calling Elon Musk a retard. It's really funny to me that his simps will act like he's this total free speech advocate but get mad when you criticize him and censor you.
