I’m glad Elon bought Twitter and pissed a bunch of people off. I don’t care that it made some people boycott Tesla. I’m not even “MAGA,” and historically not even Republican, but I am American, and I won’t ever take for granted what that means. There really has become a significant group of individuals who live in the USA, reap all its’ benefits every day, but actively root against it like a bunch of spoiled children. The very fact that they’re even able to do so without a care in the world is something they can’t understand the value of. I’m so fucking sick of it. I think most Dems do love America, but I think many of them have become way too negligent and spineless in addressing the rise of this cancer that mostly lives under the umbrella of their party. The media has become a sub-human, click-hungry parasite that can’t be relied on to do anything but feed on whichever narrative generates the highest ad revenues. It’s a lost cause. Most people know this, but still, when you don’t actually care about something genuinely, you’re always going to reach for the easy headline. The burger and fries. Earworms are powerful in driving energy. X was a necessary beacon of light that I think was more important than anything else Elon does. Existential. But it’s still not enough. Many still view this platform as some right wing shithole, which is a shame, because it really isn’t. The core structures of this platform are more neutral than anything else available. I watch people on the far-right prompt Grok in the comments thinking it’s going to slam down their alley oop, but instead it rugs them and throws points to the moderates. It doesn’t give af about your bias. The more people of every background who on-ramp this platform, the more neutral it will become, because its’ core structure is neutral. Encourage your friends to jump into the arena. This is the best platform to drive humanity’s energy to the most reasonable outcomes.

“Old George Orwell got it backward. Big Brother isn’t watching. He’s singing and dancing. He’s pulling rabbits out of a hat. Big Brother’s busy holding your attention every moment you’re awake. He’s making sure you’re always distracted. He’s making sure you’re fully absorbed. He’s making sure your imagination withers. Until it’s as useful as your appendix. He’s making sure your attention is always filled. And this being fed, it’s worse than being watched. With the world always filling you, no one has to worry about what’s in your mind. With everyone’s imagination atrophied, no one will ever be a threat to the world.” — ​Chuck Palahniuk

The fact of the last sentence made this possible. :P

I Invite Mark Zuckerberg and @elonmusk to the European Parliament

NEW: Tech billionaire and lifelong Democrat Mark Pincus reveals his "Red Pill" moment, sparked by Mike Solana's Pirate Wires and the "very fine people" hoax, culminating in him voting for Donald Trump. "I started reading @PirateWires and @micsolana, and I thought he was a little crazy at first because he would write these articles, and one he wrote was about how the Ukrainian soldiers had swastikas on their helmets, and the NYT photographers would ask them to take the swastikas off for photos." "I said that can't be true, and then four months later, it was in the NYT buried in the middle of the paper, and I kept seeing stories like that that he would be early on. So, I started feeling more uncomfortable and queasy with what was going on with mainstream media." "Then, in May 2024, I read an article that talked about Trump's speech in Charlottesville, where he said there are good people on both sides, and the article said it was completely propaganda and didn't actually reflect what he said. That he denounced the Nazis a bunch of times in his speech, so then I went and watched that video, and that was my red pill moment." "I think it was for a lot of people because it wasn't just the media or politicians spinning it. That speech was one of the pillars of why you were supposed to hate Trump. Then you see Biden say that's why he had to run a second time, and Obama says it, and Biden brings it up again at the DNC." "They clearly know they are misrepresenting things, so for me, that was beyond uncomfortable. Now, I have to go back to first principles and look at the primary data, listen to only original speeches by people, and I just realized I couldn't trust the mainstream media." What was your Red Pill moment? Drop your story in the comments.👇

We can debate Klaus Schwab's intentions endlessly. However, the concept of absolute transparency itself isn't inherently negative. If we advocate for freedom of speech, we should also support absolute transparency, as both are rooted in the values of openness and accountability. The issue arises when transparency is used as a guise for control. Whether the statements attributed to Schwab in this context are accurate, given the Community Notes, remains questionable. If absolute control is marketed as absolute transparency, that's where the problem lies.

Ελλάδα 2.0 Το πιο όμορφο και σύγχρονο μετρό του κόσμου. Ευχαριστούμε @PrimeministerGR @kmitsotakis

Ο @PrimeministerGR αναφέρεται ότι το Gov.gr κατέλαβε τη 2η θέση ανάμεσα σε 70 εταιρείες και οργανισμούς για την εμπειρία του καταναλωτή. 🏆 Ωστόσο, δεν μπορώ να βρω δημόσια τεκμηρίωση που να επιβεβαιώνει αυτή την αναγνώριση. @mindigitalgr, μπορείτε να μας δώσετε περισσότερες λεπτομέρειες σχετικά με την πηγή ή την έρευνα που οδήγησε σε αυτή τη διάκριση; Η αρχική ανάρτηση του @PrimeministerGR από τις 20/11/2023 βρίσκεται εδώ: nitter.net/PrimeministerGR/status… Πέρασε ένας χρόνος δεν έχουμε λάβει ακόμα καμία απάντηση. Τι παίζει;

Strength is the ability to voluntarily confront the unknown.

"Δεν ακολουθεί τους Όρους της κοινότητας" λέει το μέτα του Ζουκερμπερκ. Μαγαζί του είναι άλλωστε, ο,τι θέλει κάνει. Μοιάζει όμως να μην έχουν καταλάβει ακόμα αρκετοί τους λόγους για τους οποίους βγήκε ο Τραμπ. Στην κρίση του 2008 κατάλαβαν οι μεγάλοι ότι το "too big to fail" δεν υφίσταται. Κι έτσι, μοιάζει και ένα Meta να ακολουθεί την πορεία της Kodak, όπως και η ΝΔ ακολουθεί την πορεία του ΣΥΡΙΖΑ. Coming soon...

Τι σχέση έχει το ένα με το άλλο, βρε υπουργέ από τα Lidl; Γνωρίζεις τους ισχυρισμούς και τις πεποιθήσεις της woke ατζέντας και ξαφνικά παίρνεις θέση; Βρήκες την ευκαιρία να βρεις το δίκιο σας επείδη κάποια κύρια τα έχει μπερδεμένα. Μόνο εντυπώσεις είστε εκεί στην ΝΔ. Θα έρθουν οι επόμενες εκλογές και θα πάθετε ο,τι έπαθε και η Καμάλα. Έναν σοβαρό να βρούμε μόνο γιατί οι αντίπαλοι σας είναι χειρότεροι κι από εσάς.
