Who is saying anything about hypocrisy? This is about the guy feeling the consequences for his shitty policies.

He is bringing back a very carefully selected group of banned people, people he thinks caters to the only specific core audience which remains on twitter: hateful right wing bigots.

Russia doesn’t pay people for that sort of thing, especially not a person like Musk. Instead they extort. Possibly over rare materials.

Anyway I don’t think Russia was part of Musks takeover of twitter, that stemmed from Musks own arrogant stupidity, but they certainly did become one afterwards.

I really don’t understand this constant complaint that comes up whenever a news story about Musk is posted. Of course it is newsworthy that the (once) richest man on Earth is doing this, and providing news about what these billionaire oligarchs are up to is definitely part of a relevant newsfeed.

Keeping their actions in the dark only helps normalising their existence and behaviour.

It is actually 62%. For some reason they rounded the real number down in OP’s link.

Tankies are fascinating, the more stuffed with propaganda lies they are, the more confident they feel.

Yeah, you are a good example of what happens to somebody who shapes their reality after nonsense like gamergate and other right wing bullshit conspiracy theories.

This is not comparable at all. Radicalisation through the media you consume is a known and proven phenomenon. None of the comics, d&d, heavy metal makes you satanic and violent claims have ever been proven.

It is still going strong on places like reddit, where the official gamergate subreddit kotakuinaction still exists (personally unblocked by spez himself because it contributed “valuable discussion”).

No, it would not get him more votes. The main problem for the Democrats are that a lot of non-Trump voters doesn’t vote at all, not that they are suddenly going to turn Trump voters. There has been a consistent non-Trump majority since 2016 after all.

I think the main problem for the Democrats are apathy and people not voting at all, rather than people actually voting for Trump. The Trump voters will be the same, but they will actually vote.

Your experience is wrong. KKK and others existed just fine before and during WWII.

Or any chromium based browser for that matter.

Firefox + ublock definitely works.

I think it is lack of empathy which helped him gain entry.

That is what google uses, after all they attempt to block your adblocker. You would need an ad blocker-blocker-blocker.

They don’t. In fact they get demonitised more and more easily for completely bullshit reasons. The majority of youtubers get paid through Patreon and in video sponsorship rather than from youtube itself.

They suffer voluntarily simply by choosing not to switch their browsers to non-chromium.

Ads in those are also regulated in civilised countries.

I only had to do it once. Haven’t seen the pop up since.
