    It'll be fun to watch the whole libertarian/deregulation myth crash and burn and debunk the concept utterly for all to see.

    It'll be decidedly less fun to watch how, despite that, nothing changes :doomer:

      Already happening.

      Conservative and authoritarian accounts are rising in followers.

      Progressive and socialist accounts are losing followers.

      Look like Digg 2.0. First a slow exodus and then once another platform is settled on, everyone with a soul or brains leaves.

      It'll never happen. The collapse will be retconned as a consequence of Big Government Regulation crushing the smol bean Muskovites and Woke Capital (ie, communism) defunding Elon's attempt to speak truth to power. The solution will always and forever be to double down.

      Libertarianism cannot fail. It can only be failed. If our modern day Reardon is forced to flee to Galt's Gulch with his miraculous toybox of inventions because his effort to hyper-monetize Twitter blew up in his face, the only explanation can be that he was denied the ability / failed to truly embrace the unlimited genius of Real Libertarianism properly. And the only solution will be to make a guy even more pure than Elon Musk our next President.
