This Apple v Twitter thing is just so illustrative of the right. They don’t want to create their own nice spaces, they want to go to spaces where other people are having a nice time, take a shit on the floor, and then complain when they get kicked out of the party.
@luxalptraum Its all one big cooption. They're angry they haven't had the culture in 40+ years and so they squat on everything else they can.
@luxalptraum geez THIS. Eventually twitter will become a right wing racist cesspool and they will get bored
@Gigawatt121 @luxalptraum "eventually" like a week ago? Elmo kicking off leftish accounts for no valid reason at the same time he's reinstating far-right ones that were suspended with ample reason lays bare the direction it's taking.
@luxalptraum :) pretty much troll behavior throughout history.
@luxalptraum This is precisely why Gab, Parler, Truth Social and all their other Nazi circle jerks don’t catch on—there’s no libs to own so what’s the point of being a bigoted piece of shit if no one’s triggered? Free speech isn’t their goal; forcing YOU to listen to their hate speech (while silencing your dissent…by force if they feel like it) is the goal.
@luxalptraum that's a perfect description
@luxalptraum I think it's more like, they complain when everyone else complains about the smell and leaves.
@luxalptraum I just got kicked off Twitter for trying their “free speech “
@luxalptraum oooh did they get kicked out yet 👀
@luxalptraum and soon you will be able buy a Musk branded Huawei phone. Then FCC and SEC will both be after him.
@luxalptraum The funny thing is most of them had no idea what Apple's policies were until Elon pointed it out to them. They had no clue and did not care.
@luxalptraum They tried and failed... Parlor... gab, and now truth social.. They all thought those were going to succeed and own the libs... just like they think twitter is now🤣
@luxalptraum That’s a perfect metaphor for the modern Republican Party. When one of my conservative acquaintances starts employing whataboutism or bothsiderism I ask “what besides giving tax breaks to people who are already well off have Republicans done?” They have no answer.
@luxalptraum and then return with their more powerful friend to burn the place down… 😓
@luxalptraum Yes, just like the left, who create monsters due to their inept handling and complacency, concomitantly abdicating from the situation and which then leaves the space for others to take it. All connects, imo.
@luxalptraum This. This this this and this. 💯💯
@luxalptraum They're shitting on the floor because the "nice spaces" they created for themselves (Parler, Truth Social) are abysmal failures.
@luxalptraum absobloodylutely! And we also have ‘I’m a Christian, love your fellow man, unless you don’t fit with our bigoted view of the world, then we will hate you and kill you…Amen".
@luxalptraum This. I couldn't work out why they wanted to make Twitter in to Gab/Parler when they already have Gab/Parler, but it's because it's not about having their own thing, it's about messing up someone else's thing
@luxalptraum
Can you say more about the Apple v. Twitter thing. Last I heard Apple had pulled out from Twitter. Is there more? Thanks.
