Start talking communism on 4chan and wait to get dogpiled. It's just a neo-nazi echo chamber.
"Free Speech" anyway is just a dogwhistle for getting away with hate speech.
Well, at least we can make some statements in earnest. At least we're far-left because we sincerely believe it will lead to the best outcome for more people. I am half-convinced that a solid 55% of people on the right are "for the lulz" types and have no strong convictions for what they do.
we don’t promote “free speech”
Nobody sincerely does. :freeze-peach: is just Libertarian propaganda. Nobody tolerates views they consider abhorrent or obnoxious or gross for very long.
Can you even really post communist threads? I've seen it done there but from what I understand the mods just delete it all. Truly a fucking cesspit, but one of the best places to take a glance at for when you want to get a finger on the chud pulse
A lot of these processes are cyclical. You start with a motley assortment of dorks and weirdos all spewing their own ideology. Then an admin steps in and takes sides, either explicitly or indirectly banning or filtering or otherwise undermining one set of ideological content. Participants grow more militant and punishments get more severe, until either the admins give up, the site becomes unusable, or the agitators stop posting.
Assuming the third, you're just left with a hot house of boutique admin-friendly participants and sycophants. When new participants enter, the admin rarely has to do anything because the surviving user base has already been polarized against the outside opinions. So the admin's job becomes relatively easy as the participants themselves turns on the new guys. The only folks who can be added to the group are conformists.
Then the folks in the echo chamber conclude that their ideology has triumphed. They emerge and attempt to proselytize their message, only to run into a bunch of similarly polarized communities. Alienation intensifies and everyone hates everyone else for being insufficiently pure. The only thing people on 4chan know how to do is compete in their own echo-chambers, which makes them utterly toxic to everyone outside it. But then the same is true of folks on Townhall or Facebook or whatever blasphemous new incarnation of Twitter we get.
Obviously what Musk is doing is stupid and I don't want to defend him in any way.
But holy shit does this devalue the term "apartheid". Apartheid is not just when people are treated differently. Apartheid was not a system where black South Africans could simply pay a fee to be treated better. Apartheid is a system of racial oppression wherein people are systematically disadvantaged based on their racial characteristics alone.
"I can't vote on Twitter polls, now I know how black South Africans and Palestinians feel." Is a laughably shit take.
This policy makes sense. Those with skin in the game should have a choice in decisions. That’s what democracy is about
This policy makes sense.
The system is stupid. The CEO is an approval-seeking dweeb. The policy is simply a band-aid on top of bad core design and bruised egos. Its like putting duck tape up over a broken car window and bragging about how you're a brilliant mechanic.
Wait Rhodesia was funded by the br*ts
Then who is funding twitter ?
The Saudis. You know, people who value human rights and life just as much as Elon.
