Elon egging on migrant’s houses being burned down while his dad has a drink with Tommy Robinson in Moscow hotel bar talking about how Russia is the UK’s ally, at this point I don’t think you can deny that social media has been a net boon both to authoritarian regimes & authoritarians in democracies.
you will never convince me that social media isnt what drove these people batty. there are a great many people in the world who are simply not built for what happens to the psyche when random strangers start praising you for existing & you can block everyone else. billionaire brain for plebes
Like “Nah uh uh uh tsk tsk tsk you don’t get to talk about how Trump sucks because Joe Biden!”” Fuuuuuuuuuuuck. Youuuuuuuuuu.
This is also quite explicitly “we should let everyone who debased themselves and cloaked themselves in Trumpism be allowed to move on” coming from a guy who is frustrated with libs because they shame him for wanting to be friends with republicans again.
But yeah run back to the Nazi bar where you code switch and cry about how Bluesky was mean to you.
It’s galling to me that Dave is pre-registering how he’s going to dismiss any 2028 Dem campaign narratives like he’s some neutral party to all of this and not, you know, a fucking credentialed media member.
I agree with this but an interesting thing to me is in a slightly earlier time this person would have felt social pressure not to include “devaluation of expertise”.
It’s only now that in certain progressive spaces the results of accelerationism has broken through enough for people to get that “No maybe knowing how to do things isn’t actually neolib coded or w/e”
Guy who posts a lot on X The Everything App about how he genuinely wants the 2026 mid terms to be about Biden for some reason saying this 👇
The neighbor said they saw the neighborhood skunk digging in our front yard last night. Next time it happens I’m going to go outside and reason with it.
