Who said I was carrying water for corny capitalism, Republicans had no problems with same corny capitalism till Disney decided to have an opinion.

Call out cancel culture for what it is and stop tip toeing
Your opinions never earn my respect and I think the feeling is mutual.

Disney caved in to some very vocal leftists within their ranks with the help of media and big tech.
Disney Won't go broke and shutter any time soon.
Why is the left insisting on acceptance of some ideals involving sexualizing young kids.Disney still has a number of paedophiles who have been indicted so far.
How would you feel if a school is teaching your below ten year old tomboy kids that they are trapped in the wrong bodies. Your own kids .

We all know they want to be able to express bigotry freely, to them that's only free speech they understand, Elon Musk wants to pander to this people either to disappoint them or to destroy Twitter, most of these extreme apps never go big and mainstream because nobody will invest their money there, even some end up dying.
You are lying about having free speech. You claim that it's to spread bigotry. Is reporting that Hunter Biden received cash from China and Ukraine spreading bigotry?
That is a big lie that the left puts out. There are obviously extreme far right racists , they exist that we can agree on. What's the worst they can do? Kill of other races like Hitler did? Or just rant as keyboard warriors?
We also have far left. They are closer to Marxist and communism. They want power and have no scruples in their pursuit of it. They lie and forment trouble, calling any dissenting voice as racist plus homophobic, islamophobic etc.
They tar and feather those opposing voices.

The left has a grip on media which they use to silence everyone else.

The bolded is spot on. When they get censored on twitter or Reddit, they jump on to the Social Media (SM) 1 site offering them the chance to spread hate till it becomes too much for the moderators of SM1, SM1 kicks em' out and they move on to SM2, SM2 starts moderating and kicks them out as well, they move on to SM3, they get kicked out too and the cycle continues.

As per the tweet by Dr. Johnson, Parler and Gab had no choice than to moderate/ban.

Aside the darkweb, Gab is pretty full of far right extremists content; yet, it had to censor/moderate still. I remember Chris Cantwell got kicked off Gab. There is only so much that these SM sites can allow.

https://www.newsweek.com/social-media-site-gab-bans-crying-nazi-killing-leftists-1367679

Christopher Cantwell also known as the Crying Nazi, is an American white supremacist, neo-Nazi, antisemitic conspiracy theorist and convicted felon.

Same with Parler, and Truth Social which even went as far as moderating users for making fun of it's CEO and moderating Trump's buddy (Roger Stone).

https://www.foxbusiness.com/politics/trump-truth-social-developing-content-moderation-practices-to-ensure-family-friendly-community
Some form of moderation is needed in any public forum including here.
Big tech unfortunately has become the DNC favourite ground to censor crimes that Dems commit.
They have banned so many conservatives over correct assertions. For instance Twitter suspended New York Post for reporting the contents of Hunter Bidens laptop from hell.
Which Daily Mail and NYT later confirmed the contents as authentic.
Big tech also suspended Babylon Bee for writing that the Assistant Secretary of Health is a man.( He transgendered at 53 years). In effect this was what really made a furious Elon Musk buy off Twitter.


The noises from the left are really about them not being able to silence dissenting voices.

Biden has created a new department Ministry of Truth. Headed by a virulent leftist.

The left wants to control what you think, what you read/hear and what you say.This makes y'all zombies absorbing leftist policies .

War on cows.
Prince Charles, possibly future king thinks cows contribute to climate change when they burp. Solution. Mask the cows.
Leftist thinking is downright insane. Remember also leftist claim that cow farts add methane causing climate change They suggest we switch to synthetic beef and reduce the cow population.


https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/prince-charles-mocked-for-backing-crazy-climate-change-face-mask-for-cows/ar-AAWHt8n


Prince Charles has been mocked for backing a climate change initiative that would see a proportion of methane emitted by cows converted into CO2 and water vapor via special catalytic converter fitted masks.

The initiative pioneered by startup Zelp, founded by Francisco Norris, has been awarded the Terra Carta Design Lab award which forms part of Charles' Sustainable Markets Initiative

Ibime.I think this is a good topic for you to discuss because politically you are irrational and lost for good.
Swimming.

Men generally have longer feet than women. A man who wakes up one day and discovers he is trapped in a woman's body will most likely wear longer shoes than a woman. Do the length of someone's feet determine how fast he can swim? (Minus upper body strength) A trans who is allowed to swim against real women is required to have some testosterone levels below a certain margin.What about the length of his feet?
Does the trans with low testosterone levels have an advantage over his female competition? Do you think that your feet length aids swimming over women?

Think.

Basilico is being foolish.

[s]How about setting example as a leader like not getting out of the hospital and getting in a car to wave at crowds while Covid positive, like not holding rallies at the height of a pandemic, like not threatening to withhold ventilators from States because they are politically different, like turning your scientists into a political football to be hated by half your population, like not suggesting foolish things like bleach or light into humans, like not spilling your mouth to send uninformed people to buy drugs still in clinical trial, like showing simple compassion.[/s]

I didn't see any of these in Sweden who banned large gatherings, practiced social distancing, had a mask mandate and schooled secondary school and above from home. Sweden even have vaccine passports. They didn't lockdown fully but they took responsible steps, and their rates are still worse than their Nordic neighbours. Also only Stockholm has a population density comparative to other Western countries. That's only 10% of their population living in conditions that encourage transmission, and even at that Stockholm is made of 7 islands with a lot of fresh air. Djurgarden is the only place where you go to a City and feel you are in the countryside.
Mass Formation Psychosis.

You don't use your own head, do you, and think you can waste my time? Were you not here claiming India had fewer deaths than USA, bas, thereby claiming their leaders were handlin covid better than your drumpf was?

Go research countries that had fewer deaths per thousand than America had under drumpf. They all handled covid better then he did.

We were not talking "correctly", you slimy!
Sweden? Or South Korea?

India used Ivermectin to stop COVID-19 remember. Trump was vilified for promoting HCL.

Tennessee Governor signs into law Ivermectin to be dispensed without doctors prescription.

The truth will be out one day Don't expect MSM to report this Tennessee development.

And that's your problem. You rely on lying scumbags in the media.

Basilico is calling you guys out who blames trump for deaths because of how he handled the pandemic while in reality, other countries you guys don't talk about had similar death rates.

Y'all silent that more have died under Biden. Una no get shame
They hate Trump so much because media sought to paint him in a negative light.

Under Biden with improved medical care n equipment, vaccines and boosters and better covid understanding more people have died than under Trump.

No be lie, and to even think that many people who don't know what is really going on in USA, especially Africans, will always reference US, portraying her as "perfect" Civilized world. Not knowing that, half of the population wants to take US back to uncivilized era.

I know for sure every country has internal problems and there is no country in Africa that can compare her self to USA in many aspects, but damn, it's isn't as Rosy and perfect
as many political analysts in Africa portray it.

There's no single week without gun violence report on New york post site.

The only thing I love about politicians in USA is that they don't jump from one party to another like the political prostitutes do here in Nigeria.

But one thing is for sure, this culture war won't end well for US. I mean with the bold moves from Texas Governor and De santis of Florida, omor, I fear for them. Except one party dies naturally, which may not happen anytime soon,.

For instance, Grey Abbott sending illegal migrants to Washington DC, that's a huge problem.

Anyways, I am eager to see what will happen in the mid term and of course 2024. I don't believe in approval rating, anything can happen. Last year I made the mistake of supporting one candidate, this year, I will be open minded, support no one. Nothing concern me.
I don't believe Joe Biden is in charge. He just doesn't seem like he knows where he is But of course you question his sanity and no media will report it ( Maybe Twitter will report now that's been grabbed from the left).
Joe seems to me on a path to destroy America then the globalist can rebuild it. How.
I'll list a few

Massive injection of cash into the economy creating inflation.

COVID mandates to show the people who is in charge.

Blocking oil production domestically, shutting down a Canadian pipeline . Making gas prices rise in the process. Approves Nordstream pipeline in the meantime that had been under sanctions.

Blocking exploration of oil in federal lands. Climate change my ass.

Open borders. Undid policies that slowed down illegal immigrants. He provides them with cell phones too once they are released.Governors in border states should ship them to DC and Delaware or Martha's Vineyard if they so love illegal immigrants.

Discouraged Zelensky from negotiating, the more Putin stays put and destroys Ukraine the more Joe Biden problems at home are overlooked.

Wants to stop a Trump era rule of immediately deporting any illegal entry because of COVID-19. Encourage more people to illegals. How is this bad. Every illegal pays $ to Mexican cartels. By keeping the border open he is enriching the cartels.

Unblocked some tarriffs imposed on China. Debatable but I did not find any rationale in this action

Encouraging wokesm.Appoints a transgendered at 53 to head the HHS. Also appointment ofSupreme Court justice because she is black. Promoting racism.

No centrism has had control of that wheel which is the way it should be for a country to be cohesive. Social media had allowed the most aggressive elements from the extreme right and extreme left to control the narrative. That's why Russia sponsors and supports extreme left and extreme right to tear the West apart. When you are on the extreme, you consider centrism as being to the other extreme.
Twitter is a leftist paradise.They have come up with algorithms that ban 'misinformation' which they define themselves.
They ban anything against the narrative being pushed. Very biased against conservatives.

As regarding free speech, is it not true that Elon Musk sacked his Worker for posting a video of Telsa car that failed?

For me, I don't think Elon will simply let Twitter to run unmoderated.
One step at a time. Twitter has been a thought police platform.
Don't know for that worker who posted a failed Tesla car. If my employee posted negative stuff about my company, I'd sack him on the spot.

---in your previous statements---you mentioned Trump's Truth Social will ecplise Twitter within a short period of time---

However, Twitter expected to accept Elon Musk’s bid to buy company

https://www.wsj.com/articles/twitter-re-examines-elon-musks-bid-may-be-more-receptive-to-a-deal-11650822932
I think you get the gist of my argument. Twitter can eclipse Truth Social if they stop controlling the narrative and becomes a free speech platform.Example They ban Trump but Taliban official account is still active. Iran gov that chants Death to America every Friday account is still active.in other words Twitter is now not a free speech platform but one which decides whom to be heard, what to be heard and when it should be heard.

Elon Musk wants to buy it and allow free speech. Twatter Board of directors don't even own shares of Twitter apart from founder Jack Dorsey with 2%. To prevent a hostile Elon Musk takeover the board will dilute the stock value by selling more shares at a discount once Musk ( or if any other shareholder reaches 15%. Blackrock ramped up to 10.something % . Who owns Blackrock?)
What does this mean? Investors buy stock. Stock price is now around 47 per share ( was 36 at offer time) Elon wants to buy at 54 and the board refuses the offer and plan on diluting the shares. Buying stock is a lifetime investment and the board has a fiduciary duty to shareholders.
But nah the board wants the control of twatter without taking care of the shareholder interests in maximizing returns from their investments.


Good , I saw somewhere that the board is willing to discuss after he disclosed he has the funds for a buyout.

Musk buys Twitter out, allows free speech. Remember that twitter bans you for eg saying Ivermectin works.

Which is why Elon Musk wants to restore free speech on twatter.
Trump Truth Social is after free speech.This scares the left because they can't ban those who don't espouse leftist tlaking points like say Gender Fluid. Today I wake up and decide that I'm female. Twitter will ban you for not accepting that gender is what you think you are that day.

After my long diatribe you do realize that the left wants to control free speech, damn the investors. To them controlling the narrative is more important than the shareholder investment.

I could also adduce that the Intelligence Community uses twatter to spy on people And may have special access to a privileged twatter database of it's users.

In other words the left is hypocritical. They are the enemies of free speech ,Elon buying out Twitter will severely jolt them because they can't invade your thoughts.

The left is on a mission?

Yes. Musk buying off Twitter could kill off Truth Social.

Look at the share prices of Twitter in this image. Basically not a good short term investment for those who want to make a quick buck. Elon comes along at that 36 mark and offers to buy everything at 54. The board none of whom save for it's founder owns any significant Twitter stocks refused.

Twitter is run by hardcore leftists who intend to control what I can read. Twitter bans conservatives over the flimsiest of excuses. Twatter is a leftist heaven.

Truth social will fail if Musk takes over twatter.Twatter makes no profits, but it's the most powerful control tool the left has. Probably the Intelligence Community has a big sway over twatter.

In the meantime expect all sorts of negative hit pieces over truth social. The left cannot control it, hence it must be destroyed.
