𝕏 / Twitter / X, the Social Media Platform Formerly Known as Twitter / "MUSK OWNS TWITTER"

[George Lucas]

It shows the power of the media, that so many people don't know this. The popularly accepted narrative story is that Bush lost and challenged the result in court until he found enough broken ballots to win, but that's what Gore tried to do. Boxes of ballots were mysteriously found in car boots for days after the recounts started. There were stories of manual counters lining up a dozen ballots at a time, then forcing a probe through the gore spot so that all the bush ballots would end up with a gore vote as well, which was then used as an excuse to either discard the ballots, or to claim that they were actually gore ballots.

I watched it all go down in real time, pretty much, from my comfy little corner of the internet. It was an amazing insight into so many aspects of American politics, from the way elections are conducted, to how candidates behave when they face unexpected opposition, and how corrupt the whole system appeared to be. It was also an education into how quickly a media narrative can form in the aftermath of an event. They were universally claiming Gore won, and Bush used the courts to cheat, by the middle of December..


GDPR is difficult, but generally not as difficult as some people have claimed. Most of the whining comes from the big data silos, like google and facebook, who want to grab as much data about everyone as possible and hold on to it forever. As long as you only collect what's absolutely necessary to run a service, inform the user what you're collecting, and give them a way to delete it without hassle, you're pretty much compliant. Obviously the devil is in the details (and he's mighty sneaky, that GDPR devil), but that's the gist of it.

KF is obviously an exception to this, due to the site's unique nature. GDPR compliance would be an absolute nightmare for Null, because the entire site is built around collecting information.

Kiwifarms is an American website. All that the EU could do about it is block Kiwifarms.

I'm aware of that. GDPR came up as the reason why Null didn't want to use any hosts in the EU or EEA, back when a bunch of people were suggesting that.

The only chicanery in Florida was Al Gore wanted to do a recount in only Miami-Dade and Broward and not the full state

There was plenty of chicanery, particularly using a rigged voter disqualification list by ChoicePoint that disqualified multiple people as being the same person, marked people felons who weren't, and was otherwise deliberately overbroad to disqualify people seen as likely Democratic voters.

That said, the Democratic Party did absolutely nothing about this at any time that it would have mattered.

And yes, it is a delicious irony that had Gore actually won Bush v. Gore and got the (unconstitutional) recount he wanted of just Miami-Dade and Broward, Bush would actually have won by more. This isn't controversial; even Wikipedia admits it.

That wasn't recount/ lolsuit chicanery

If we are going to include any and all chicanery, at least several thousand voters in the Florida part of the redneck riviera were disenfranchised when the media called Florida for Gore before the polls closed in that part of the state. They didn't go vote because they thought it was pointless, contest already decided the media said so, and that area voted overwhelmingly for Dubya

“How long before Elon Musk hands over the DMs of every user to a team of nazi terfs bound and determined to find that trans women are pedophiles? Like, we need to acknowledge that this is a possibility.”

Now, I dunno about you lads, but doesn’t it sound as if he’s acknowledging that it’s inevitable that Elon & Co. are going to find terabytes of explicit convo material implicating a fuckton of troons? He makes it sound as if pedophilia is endemic in the troon population. And do I detect panic in the tenor of his tweets? I assume he’s shoving his hard drives into the bathtub right about now…

How loudly do you think left-wing Americans would protest if they heard today that Trump was being brought up on obviously shaky treason charges, or was shot by an assassin?

How many tears do you think would be shed in MAGA country if Hillary Clinton was taken out by a car bomb or arrested on financial charges that left-wing fact-checkers insisted were entirely false?

We've gone from cheering to not protesting or not shedding tears. Where will the goalposts go next?

Neither of those things are regular private citizens being executed in cold blood in their homes by einsatzgruppen

But if Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton were assassinated tomorrow, I would expect 95% of the population to be shocked and not be cool with it

TWITTERGATE IS BIGGER THAN WATERGATE​

The Twitter censorship scandal is a much larger than Watergate, but few mainstream media journalists will touch the story because their allegiance is not to the truth but rather to the Democrat Party.
The journalists on the left will always place their political ideology ahead of the facts. After Elon Musk and Matt Taibbi released the files, I figured it would be the lead headline on CNN—even though CNN wouldn’t like the news. But no, of course not. I watched CNN for two hours and not a peep about ’The Twitter Files.” The media on the left who did talk about it made personal attacks on Taibbi for releasing the news.

Musk is getting death threats for revealing the truth. Others on the left said it was much ado about nothing. Of course they should censor Hunter’s personal pornography and drug use—that’s not news, just something that stirred prurient interest among the conspiracy theorists, the misinformation terrorists, and the far-right hate speech purveyors. For those cretins, censorship is a must! They seemed to have forgotten that free speech is not just about speech that is agreeable. It’s disagreeable speech that must be protected the most, or free speech will not exist.

The left wants to ignore the damning proof that Joe Biden, aka ’The Big Man,’ had multiple meetings with his son’s bribery associates (including Chinese communists) as he raked in a 10 percent pay-for-play fee. That IS the important news, although Hunter sexually abusing his under-aged niece and his felony lying on a gun form should be investigated. Joe Biden and his family’s widespread corruption is worthy of widespread attention. Instead, the Democrats and their goon squad, the FBI, systematically purged conservatives from Twitter, thus crushing their First Amendment right to free speech.


The freedom to express political opinions is the most important component of that free speech and it was denied by government forces that swore to protect our rights! “The Tree of Liberty” is getting thirstier by the minute. There was no apology or contrition from security leaders who lined up by the dozens to bury the Hunter laptop story with lies ahead of a presidential election. They said it was hacked by Russia based on no proof whatsoever. Those Deep State Swamp operatives violated their Constitutional oaths. They conspired and kicked countless conservatives out of the Town Square of social media. They murdered free speech.


Even after the election was stolen for Biden, his White House routinely issued orders to Twitter that demanded conservative posts be deleted and the posters banned. Will any of them be held accountable? Of course not. The Democrat/Globalist Swamp can do whatever it wants. Without push back, they will become emboldened to grab even more freedom from us.

James Woods said if you scratch a leftist you’ll find a fascist and he was right.

The Democrats will steal the elections on a permanent basis while methodically destroying those with whom they disagree. Don’t be surprised to hear Biden say the Second Amendment ’is not absolute’ before he insists Americans turn in their guns or face penalties including fines and imprisonment. Before that happens, expect Biden to roll out the central bankers’ digital currency, which will lead to high-tech enslavement. Those who speak out against it will be painted as nut jobs, misinformation spewers, or outright terrorists. Whistleblowers will be attacked, marginalized, and swat-teamed. Look at what they did to Assange for reporting the truth. He deserves a Pulitzer Prize, not prison. Big Government’s goal is to make it socially unacceptable to report on government corruption.

Don’t be surprised if Big Government soon makes it a crime to be a patriot.

At least on Kiwifarms if I disagree with someone I can verify they are a real person when they call me a slur

It's bizarre how many of these "journalists" share the exact same views and speak like an algorithm

It's in your best interests to buy Apple products and vote Democrat in the next election, nigger.

Well yeah, if they had the wrong opinion they'd lose their seat at the virtual cool kids' table.
Journoscum are more interested in their own self-aggrandizement than doing any meaningful journalism. They have to constantly watch Twitter to make sure they only promulgate the 'correct' ideas and the 'correct' views. If they don't, they might get outed as a Secret Hitler and cancelled, or even worse, left out of the elite's clique. It's all about the status game.

Nothing wrong with that, but we're still going to come up with different conclusions, aren't we? Especially if the information we have isn't all that good or plentiful.

Yes, that is how opinions work.

 

[McSneaks]

Do you think any of these weirdos have had the self reflection that....simply not reading things you don't like/leaving has always been an option?

Like it's hilarious seeing all these pink haired fag/got crybabies screaming about leaving twitter (on twitter, which they won't) or all these new alternatives, because they're upset all these evil nazis are going to be on twitter.

...after literally spending 10 years having meltdowns, crying, calling the police, trying to make it illegal, etc. to see or hear words they don't like. They literally completely breakdown and stop functioning with "muh anxiety" if someone uses the wrong pronoun, leave work to make a tiktok gasping for air in their car, go HARD to get said people removed from everywhere.

When literally the whole time they could just...leave. Or close the tab. "Welp there's a nazi saying nigger here, I'm going somewhere with people who won't say that" like, yes? That's what functioning adults do? The truth is you know none of them see the irony of this and instead see them as being chased away by evil monsters who should be banished, even when the weirdos are the ones who go where they are to scream at them to leave...

The people who complain the most literally don't understand the concept of closing a tab, twitter's a button on their phone's menu
