I’ve been watching my liberal friends melt down over the Twitter takeover. One posted a screenshot of his iPhone screen with a gap where the twitter app was.

I’ve been watching my liberal friends melt down over the Twitter takeover. One posted a screenshot of his iPhone screen with a gap where the twitter app was. Another posted, in complete seriousness, “you all realize Musk is a Bond villain right”. It amuses me to no end, how worried they are about having to face opposing views. And let’s not forget that yesterday the ACLU tweeted that they were concerned about the government’s role in controlling content on social media. Perhaps the times are changing.
The ACLU is a bunch of left wing hacks. It is shocking they even care about the government's role in censorship because lately they appear to me to be an arm of that entire complex.
The comments on their tweet took notice of the ACLU's more recent history. Some suggested the account must have been hacked.
I can't help thinking it's a self-serving pivot. People on Twitter are deeply angry about these revelations. An Atlantic piece on Covid Amnesty--essentially a plea for everyone to forgive and forget the lockdowns that destroyed small businesses and separated families from their dying loved ones, the vaccine mandates that deprived people of their jobs, and the school closures that have harmed children--not only got ratioed radically, it set off an upswelling of anger toward those who were responsible for all that.
Well, when you no longer control the platform used to control the narrative, therefore no longer having the protection of said platform...Your words now have to stand on their own. And when they illicit negative feedback, the author of the words has to actually defend them.
Which to me is delicious irony. Because since Twitter became politicized, those on the left and/or those with "correct thoughts and opinions" were very quick to tell conservatives that they didn't have a right not to have their ideas challenged.
We'll have to see how THAT goes when the shoe is on the other foot.
The rage of the Leftists on the platform is a delicious irony. When Musk proposed a monthly fee for blue-checks, millionaire (or is it billionaire?) Steven King bitched about it and was roundly called out for his elitism.

I believe their concern was the the government's role in controlling content on social media isn't big enough.
A side effect of being protected from the vigorous honest debate is intellectual atrophy, an overreliance on Alinsky parlor tricks.
Hence, the lineup of today's intellectually and morally bankrupt carnival barkers.
For a laugh, consider one of the worst is now in some teaching capacity at Harvard; Brian Stelter.

They are seriously compromised.
Absolutely. The replies to the tweet are quite amusing - mostly consisting of people asking if they were hacked.

Yes...nothing like reminding the electorate a week before the election of all of your diabolical failings. Thanks Atlantic!
Many of the best takes on the article pointed out that it was basically a desperate plea for moms to vote Democrat in spite of those failings.
Thinking it ain’t gonna help, when I see the DNC funneling campaign monies into California, NY, Oregon, etc it ain’t a good sign

The ACLU are concerned now b/c they see that conservatives will be taking charge and their socialist friends will be unable to help.
