The conversations I find most interesting on twitter are those with people I respect, and mostly agree with, but on subjects I disagree with them on.
What I most despair on twitter, is if I realise they don't want those conversations, and prefer echo chambers.
@elonmusk@alx@nypost People who could sway elections with impunity are dangerous people. Tread carefully. They have already killed millions for power and money. Human life means nothing to those running this shit show. And they control the narrative, so there are no "consequences" for them.
@Mtor581 @michaelmalice Leftism is only about degrees and titles. They simply don't care about actual competence. They believe only some authority can judge things.
Leftism is a cult of ants or sheep.
@elonmusk One can't stop people from taking offense. @jordanbpeterson said it best in his Cathy Newman interview.
Any attempt will stop only offense of those with power. Aka. Fascism.
@elonmusk Using the term "hate speech" is problematic, because it will ALWAYS be subjective. There will NEVER be a good definition.
Half the people on twitter write things that I find extremely hateful. Calling me names and wishing ill on me, yet they are never categorised hate speach.
@Lauren_Southern@notsoErudite Any sexualising of prepubescent kids is grooming. LGBT is about sexuality. They should not be discussing who they are sexually attracted to, before they are actually sexually attracted. That would be grooming.
If straight people did it, it would be obvious.
@MayaOfAuckland@Todd__S@JDarlingMusica@geoffmcfarlan @tan123 People have really lost all interest in truth. They want righteousness and belonging. They want certainty. But they no longer care to actually reach truth. And that is crumbling society, because thats the only thing that could unite everyone - the search for truth.
@MayaOfAuckland@Todd__S@JDarlingMusica@geoffmcfarlan @tan123 Have you ever considered that this data is absolutely and completely fabricated?
You could look at so many different past events to see that there were warmer periods. But instead you will just accept this blindly.
@DanielaNadj "belongs to"... an interesting choice of words. A bit possessive, don't you think? One might say almost as if you long for the great Germany that some of your past countrymen tried to achieve. Maybe its time to learn the lesson?
@thevivafrei As I always say at the dentist: the most excruciating pain in any visit is when you get the bill.
The anesthetic doesn't seem to help at all. ๐
@elonmusk Absolutely.
And I don't even think twitter should be the one deciding whether someone broke the law. There is an entire complex system designed exactly for that. And there is a good reason why it's so complex.
Sorry but if you're on the Left then you have no right to deny the shooter's non-binary identity. You set a precedent here and we will hold you to it. You have to respect his identity. I don't. You do. These are your rules. Now take your medicine and shut up.
