I don’t know who needs to hear this, but “I was only following orders” was rejected as a defense at the Nuremberg Trials.

@xgigglypuff Woww, that's awesome! 👏👏👏 すごいですね！

@HumansNoContext And unfortunately, yes, some (if not many) people are not inherently good people. Hence, laws, I guess... whether human or divine.

[Cedric Kato @Deathlessmile]

@xgigglypuff THAT I would watch 😆

@memetazaa Now there's a relationship that was never valued at all 😆

Regardless of your politics, sharing private discussions without permission and then laughing about it when we're called out kinda speaks volumes about us. The left and the right both laugh until it's done to them.

Our side lost because of the intolerance of the tolerant left. If you don’t see that, then we will keep losing.
People didn’t vote for Trump, they voted against you.
They voted against your “if you don’t agree with me then you’re my enemy” mentality.
They voted against your need to have an echo chamber or risk being canceled.
They voted against being attacked for a difference in opinion.
They voted against being called pedos, racists, homophobes, Nazis simply for disagreeing with you.
They voted for the right to keep YOU out of decisions for their children.
They voted against having to walk on eggshells for fear of offending someone.

I don’t care who I piss off by saying this, step out of the tunnel vision and have a civil conversation with folks and take responsibility for your part in pushing people, who are on the fence, to vote against you.

@xgigglypuff I guess propaganda is coming back as a buzzword to make us feel we're better and smarter than others 😗

[Cedric Kato @Deathlessmile]

True. Though would you say other major platforms like FB / IG, Reddit & Google / YT are backed by "left wing"? Difference today is Twitter used to be backed by a left-leaning leader too before (unless I'm wrong)

There always has been and will be a certain level of bias on almost any platform. People have always needed to sift through them.

What both people in the left and right should learn (if they havent already) is how to criticize themselves and those that are aligned to what they stand for. Even more so perhaps... It's unfortunate when one allows a bias to be perpetuated just because it hurts the other party or encourages people to stand in their favor. This is how biases are grown in either direction.

Personally, my feed has been a product of who I follow, which is why I am able to read great insights from both "sides". I try to follow regardless of my self-perceived inherent bias, which isn't hard once you accept there are truly brilliant people regardless of their political leanings.

Something that I have observed though is that a lot of hardcore (if that term is right) left-leaning individuals, at least in my circle in my non-American country, really do not like X. Which is kinda unfortunate for what they stand for and believe in. Imagine if right-leaning people exited left-leaning platforms for the same reasons? (Which I guess some of them do, but I dont think it's with a comparable magnitude)

@elonmusk What caused the spike in 10/1, 10pm ?

@therabbithole @elonmusk What a shame. Wikipedia had potential.

i really need you guys to understand that you can still be friends with someone who doesn’t share your opinions

Do people really say that the tariffs are meant to tax foreign countries? Regardless, it seems like a moot point whether the seller, buyer or consumer pays - since at the end of it, price of imported goods WILL go up.

But since products in a lot of countries (esp China due to its huge workforce) are a lot of cheaper, wouldn't the tariffs help local companies in the US stay more competitive? It might be an oversimplification but I always thought that was the point? Or at least its intention. Other possible results would be:
- retaliation from foreign countries
- negative impact on international trade relations
- local industries matching the price of imported goods, thus defeating the purpose of adding tariffs in the first place

I am not really in favor or against it (I'm not from the US). But if it were for our own country, then I'd agree. A lot of manufacturing industries here are dead. Local manufacturing would have a hard time competing against China without any help. (Plus, labor is much cheaper here than the US anyways.)

Actually now that I think about it, we do have tariffs already 😆
- high tariffs on agricultural products to protect local farmers
- low tariffs on electronics to encourage industrial development
- plus some free trade agreements with certain countries that reduces or waives the tariff

I think what Americans can do is find the common ground first. Is the dependence on certain imported goods beneficial or detrimental? Should government intervene in order to protect the interests of certain local industries? What problems are you addressing or avoiding? Are tariffs a viable solution or is no solution needed at all?
