    The intention is to allow for the picking apart of posts made by people with a reasonably large platform or even vague association with the levers of power,

    Why exactly does posting have to be praxis and how is making fun of an Elon Musk tweet praxis, im begging you to explain this

      It's not about being praxis; it's about the quality of content.

      And it's also about not spending all your time finding every last person who said something that sucks. It's not healthy to do that shit.

        Okay, well, that's what it sounds like when the posts have to be about someone "near the levers of power." If it is not about that and is instead about the quality of the posts, I ask once again the question. Why is a picture of an Elon Musk tweet inherently a higher quality post than a picture of a tweet by someone with fewer followers?

          because its fucking elon musk, a person people know and have an effect on real world policies and a vast amount of people

          vs an actual nobody

          you need to stop, you're reaching into the nonsensical in order to argue at this point

            because its fucking elon musk

            This is literally not an explanation, you're just repeating the assertion I questioned. I could make just as valid an argument the other way around. Posts of Elon Musk tweets are inherently low quality. Why? Because it's fucking Elon Musk. Also I have an even stronger argument, it's because I can go see Elon Musk tweets any time I want by typing www.twitter.com into my address bar. It is higher effort and higher quality to post things that I would not otherwise have found

          Do you seriously not understand the difference between some 0 follower twitter account and dunking on Elon fucking Musk?

          We can just post the low hanging fruit to shitreactionariessay on lemmygrad.

          Such a weird hill to die on.

          I find this site generally misanthropic and would prefer that that be confined to public figures at least.

      Posting isn't praxis, nor does it need to be. You can quit JAQing off and "begging for an explanation" now.

      It's pretty clear at this point that no amount of explanation is going to be sufficient for you given the way you've continued to antagonize both moderators and everyone else who has tried to clarify the situation to you in this and previous threads.
