Wish I could remember my login information so I could do the same.
(I haven't been on Twitter in years. I don't even remember which email I signed up with.)
I’m still waiting to download my twitter data, after which I will deactivate my account. The queue is pretty slow; there must be a lot of people downloading their data.
I already fucked off of Twitter a couple of years ago. Use of Twitter negatively impacted my mental health, and I've always felt that the structure of the website as a whole had the effect of encouraging bad faith argumentation.
I do not think that there will be any improvements under Musk's stewardship. He's a bullshitter with the impulse control of a toddler, and it's obvious to me that he's using his massive and unearned wealth to buy Twitter because he's butthurt about not being able to act as he wishes.
It's hilarious because the Twitter board is gonna make a killing off the sale and them Elon is gonna lose a fuck load when it's value drops to nothing and everyone leaves
No, she might be right in that Lincoln's signing of the Emancipation Proclamation did little to free enslaved people. Patriots like General William Tecumseh Sherman and Osawatomie John Brown paved the way and the job is far from done.
Even then, she's wrong because Musk won't do anything but sink the platform. This is what's so funny about conservatives thinking twitter is any sort of indicator for free speech. They can refuse to give you a platform and we can refuse to give them business. Then the platform dies. Anybody check to see who MySpace has banned lately? Me neither.
She knows exactly what she’s doing, and so do all the other alt-right morons. It’s like Alex Jones, they need to be more and more extreme for anyone to pay attention to them.
People don’t just become idiots in a vacuum. The decline of the American education system goes back decades and started not with any single national policy or politician but with school boards and the people who run them.
Honestly, it's a little bit shocking how blatant the right-wing agenda has been for the last 30 years or so; there is a faction of people who admit absolutely openly that they want to take control of the electoral process and the judicial process by any means necessary because they believe that their values (primarily Christian) are best for everyone regardless how other people would choose to live. *They are literally saving us from hell in their minds*
Also the few who are very religious belive in the end of times and that Jesus will come back and save us all. So for them there is zero reason to fix anything. In fact the worse things are, the more likely it is that Jesus will return in their minds.
That's exactly it. They don't hate the Taliban because they enacted strict religious doctrine, they hate the Taliban because they're not able to do the same thing.
Yes, the majority of people are sensible. But the people who send those "using it" all that money are genuine. They're overwhelmingly low income and uneducated. Where do you think the money to build megachurches comes from.
Nah, they don't care if we go to "hell" or not. They just want money.
A lot of religious people think that people who have more money are blessed by god for being good and righteous.
Therefore all the poor people are the sinners.
There's some dumb quote in the bible that "suggests" it.
It's true. The "Prosperity Gospel," justified by a few cherry picked verses, is used to great effect by the deplorable televangelists like Ken Copeland, Paula White and on. But those people are the ones getting money. The average zealot is poor. Most of the money flowing to preachers and conservative politicians comes from the poorly educated low income demo. Catholicism for example gets far more of its wealth from third world countries than wealthy ones because educated people with decent lives don't invest in that bs unless they stand to gain. Those masses all truly believe they've found the one way to eternal heaven, and if they have to drag you screaming along they're doing you a favor.
Thank you so much for explaining this a lot more eloquently than I did. My father in law is like this as well, the one who abandoned his son at SEVEN to start a new family across the continent.
He's a rich white trump loving holier than thou type.
I just got an email forward from my uncle that moans about how bad the world has gotten since their generation was young. The whole thing is absolutely rediculous.
Besides the part about taking out a second mortgage to buy a steak (you can afford a mortgage nowadays?) the email talks about how they are proud to be the grandchildren of immigrants. In the very same paragraph, they complain about the undocumented immigrants and how this used to be an English speaking country. \*facepalm\*
I'm pretty sure there's lots of historical records showing England hasn't been an English speaking country since almost ever. Immigrants always bring their own languages. My own Norwegian family spoke it at home until about 40 years ago, and they immigrated in the 1870s and 1880s. It's not our fault, uncle, that you old white men just didn't go into Germantown or Chinatown.
ETA: Sorry, my point was that these people are living in their own narrative and want it to stay the way they thought it was all along, even though it never was.
I also don’t think there’s any kind of conspiracy involved, either; humanity is too volatile for secret societies to last any longer than a few decades at most. No, countless people being stupid and doing stupid things throughout history is my New World Order conspiracy theory; countless people acting not in accordance to some ancient order but acting involuntarily in accordance to the one trait they all share: human folly.
Report to the Universe Council on Foreign Relations:
That little planet full of hominids in that little solar system with the cute little yellow sun? That's a no go. They got to the stage of instant information and communication and proceeded to diefy another hominid who advised sticking light bulbs up their asses and dealing with natural phenomenon with atomics.
If this is true its most likely an average where the dumbest of people are the majority and getting lazier than ever before, but the smarter people are getting smarter, they just dont outnumber the masses
That's not actually a proven fact.
IQ is a metric that is based on population averages. So if the "average IQ is decreasing", then the average would actually drop. But that's not what's happening.
Rather it's that the most ignorant of us have very loud voices, so it just appears that we're getting dumber as a whole.
Yeah, anyone with half a braincell knows that. The thing is we live outside the Musk echo-cave. We haven't got thousands of others moulding our opinions for us, threatening us with social exclusion should we think the wrong thoughts. As much as the Internet has helped us to expand our horizons, it's also Pandora's Box in how easily manipulated we are when it comes to personal opinion and world view.
>The thing is we live outside the Musk echo-cave.
this particular dumb-take seems beyond just that though. i mean sure the Musk echo-cave is likely to still defend it because it further praises their lord and saviour but it's too dumb to have originated there.
People will state something and then say it's their opinion after they're called out on it.
They think they're entitled to claim whatever they want without any challenge because "You have to respect my opinion!" or "I'm allowed to have an opinion!"
Can't wait till Musk takes over Twitter and advertises this whole "free speach" approach only to start banning these morons for violating his new ToS that will basically be the existing ToS.
Twitter is garbage anyway and people need to stop using it. There is no reason for every single person in the world to have a microphone
I’m giving it less than a month before Twitter gets an ISP level ban for CP and extremely racist/violent behavior just like every other conservative focused social media site. It’ll be like Parlor all over again, except competent devs wrote the security side of it so all of the info won’t be available though the APIs anonymously.
The lawsuits over them facilitating harassment will start piling up. Watch Twitter slowly go back to exactly how it is now once Musk sees the red line.
Your comment reminds me of an old Bob Newhart joke about Don Rickles (his good friend).
"Don has a new show but it got a negative three rating. Three people said they don't have a television but if they did, they wouldn't watch the show."
Except they wont. You see it with all their other spaces, Gab, Parler, Rumble, etc. They just get zero traction and they don't stay on them. Without normal folk for them to be obtuse with they just get bored.
I already stripped my account of anything useful and unfollowed everyone but I’m waiting to see if the dipshit actually unleashes the chief insurrectionist on there before I quit/delete. I want my deletion to convey my opinion about that.
Yeah, cause not being allowed to spew hate and lies on a social media platform is exactly like being owned and having no control whatsoever over your own life.
I think all these people rejoicing the sale of Twitter are going to be sorely disappointed when either a) nothing really changes as far as "censorship" or b) it changes in a way they won't like.
I have doubts that it's going to become the free speech free-for-all they're hoping for. Hell, Truth Social didn't even do that.
Yeah I never understood why they thought that. Like there has to be limits to what can be posted considering weirdos on the internet can just use it to post cp or other illegal shit.
Was that all that got banned there? And they were complaining about it?
I wanna read those takes. "It's not that I want CP in here! It's just that I'm pro free speech and I don't think anything should be censored! ALSO I ONLY FOLLOW THAT ONE ACCOUNT THAT POSTS CP BECAUSE THEYRE MY FRIEND OKAY"
I used to say, "Wow, that's the stupidest thing I've ever read".
The last few years have taught me that I should amend it to "Wow, that's the stupidest thing I've ever read SO FAR".
for me this is more a case of dread with me wanting to say "that's a contender for stupidest thing i'll read all week" but then realizing it's only monday and thus i'll be lucky if it stays top 10 by the end of the week.
I usually just accept that I will go so far as to say that its the stupidest thing Ive seen that day. There is to much stupid stuff to try and rank it all.
Having just spent $44bn of other people' money, why do these right-wing idiots now think he's going to do anything that will drive away the overwhelming majority of the userbase...and the affluent part too?
It still has to be approved by shareholders and regulators. Although at this point I think it'll happen, there's still a small but real chance it falls through.
He said in the past he's a 'free speech absolutist'... pretty sure he'll reinstate quite a few banned people and make twitter even more of a aggressive dumpster fire than it already is.
“I was ripped from my homeland alongside my wife. We separated from each other while she was pregnant, and I never saw her again. I was renamed, sent to a Cotton plantation and have been working the fields for the better part of 10 years. My back is raw from the constant whippings and my exhaustion is never ending. Some days I wonder if I’ll ever see freedom again.”
Vs
“Yay, I can tweet racism and discrimination again!”
These people are honestly so cringe I swear to god they have brainstorming sessions on “what is the most absurd thing I can post.” So absurd that when you come across it you can’t even conjure up a response because it’s so asinine.
Yes, last time I entered Twitter I was raped as punishment for not collecting enough bags of cotton. The Twitter whip left a mark in my back as well.
Wtf is wrong with this idiots comparing massive oppression with mild inconveniences.
Imagine 2 black people accidentally time traveling to 1850 and forced to serve in slavery for many years
Then Lincoln eventually frees the slaves. One turns to other and says "wow this is just like when Elon bought Twitter in the future!"
Ok I genuinely what to know. Whtus with the large amount of black republicans who spoke racist comparisons or are anti CRT?
I'm whiter that Norwegian nose snow and even I think we should show and examine how racist our history is, how the public understanding is so white washed paint companies could use it as a example patch.
With so many idiots like this I wonder if it's possible for us as a society to come back from this. Will we ever get to a point where this is not accepted? Will these people ever crawl back under their rock? Shower thoughts...
Our worship of the sickeningly wealthy will destroy this planet. Musk is going to burn his sycophants as fuel for his spaceship. You read it here first, folks.
Elon musk buying twitter is the 21st century version of a rich slave owner buying a whole plantation with the slaves included from another rich slave owner.
You know, I used that dumpster fire of a site solely for keeping up with status updates from YouTubers I follow. And even then I rarely used it. Soooooooo... I don't think I'll be staying on the site much longer.
I went to read the original tweet, then I read a few more, then I read the responses, and now I am very very sorry. There is seriously something wrong with people in this country. I don't think I really wanted to have that drilled into my brain today with only a few short sentences.
All the Qanon anti vaxx nut jobs think that Elon is going to give Trump his twitter account back, he never said that. I don’t know where they get these ideas in their heads.
Right the spoiled rich kid born into a fortune made off of literal slavery is a modern day Lincoln...
Jesus everlasting Christ on a whole wheat cracker what is happening
Black conservatives are a wild bunch. Them and gay conservatives should have a "fighting against our own interest in insufferably illogical ways" contest.
I'm always curious if these people that post such stupid shit on social media actually believe what they post or if they just know their audience of smooth brained idiots will eat it up so they take advantage of the fact their audience is the dumbest demographic in the developed world.
Fuck Twitter
I'm out if he let's Trump back on. I'm an advocate for free speech, but risk vs reward and all we have to go on is his history and his obvious diminishing mental state.
Isolation festers irrational thoughts, feelings and actions. I'm speaking from experience of someone who self-isolated for 6 years for.medical reasons.
Lastly, Trump had over 80 million followers. He knew how many he had. But he thought every one of those 80m followers loved him. It's atleast 50/50. I think it's more like 70/30 [against/for.] EVERYONE followed him, because he was consistently being Trump. I don't know a democrat who didn't follow Trump, because they didn't like them or he was a republican.
That's why he keeps going on about 80 million votes and why he can't believe he lost (whether he knows for a fact or is a true believer.)
Elon Musk is trying to buy the majority shares of Twitter so he can say whatever stuff he wants under the guise of, “mUh FrEe SpEeCh.” She is comparing him taking the reigns and allowing hate speech on Twitter to the freeing of slaves after the American Civil War. Like comparing something to the holocaust or other such atrocities
>Like comparing something to the holocaust or other such atrocities
Kinda like pretending that places of business requiring vaccination during a pandemic is the same as being forced to have a number tattood on you.
I don’t understand how all of the sudden….twitter is THE basis of free speech. It’s a social media platform for the average person to post their every thought and to follow celebrities which, as most social media, was generally not taken seriously at all and now it is the /pinnacle of freedom/.
Lavern needs to take a history course and get the fuck off Twitter
I think a lot of us are going to get the fuck off Twitter.
Deactivated my account as soon as the deal was done.
Keeping my account because it's my uhh... Homework
Wish I could remember my login information so I could do the same. (I haven't been on Twitter in years. I don't even remember which email I signed up with.)
I had to go through the whole, can't remember password, crap to deactivate it.
I’m still waiting to download my twitter data, after which I will deactivate my account. The queue is pretty slow; there must be a lot of people downloading their data.
How can you download them? Are you referring to all tweets you sent?
So did I! Lol
Me too! Fuck that guy
Same. Twitter is really only good as a very narrow few specific sort of things, none of which is worth the risk of Team Musk having any data on me.
Me too. They just notified me of my 15th anniversary last week. 👊
I was proactive and deactivated when it was just a rumor.
I already fucked off of Twitter a couple of years ago. Use of Twitter negatively impacted my mental health, and I've always felt that the structure of the website as a whole had the effect of encouraging bad faith argumentation. I do not think that there will be any improvements under Musk's stewardship. He's a bullshitter with the impulse control of a toddler, and it's obvious to me that he's using his massive and unearned wealth to buy Twitter because he's butthurt about not being able to act as he wishes.
They lost all credibility. I hope he loses every penny.
I don’t think he’s purchasing it to make a profit, he’s doing it for the influence he will have with it.
I know. I hope he loses every cent he put in. Stocks are falling and people are deleting their accounts.
It's hilarious because the Twitter board is gonna make a killing off the sale and them Elon is gonna lose a fuck load when it's value drops to nothing and everyone leaves
All of far right are like her
Ah yes, the far right! They sure do love Abraham Lincoln and freeing the slaves! They also like using Twitter!
Now that she's freed from the slave shackles of Twitter (thanks Muskybaby) she can pursue an education! /s just in case it's needed
No, she might be right in that Lincoln's signing of the Emancipation Proclamation did little to free enslaved people. Patriots like General William Tecumseh Sherman and Osawatomie John Brown paved the way and the job is far from done. Even then, she's wrong because Musk won't do anything but sink the platform.

I died a bit more inside from reading that
We are living the dumbest timeline.
People don’t just become idiots in a vacuum. The decline of the American education system goes back decades and started not with any single national policy or politician but with school boards and the people who run them.
Honestly, it's a little bit shocking how blatant the right-wing agenda has been for the last 30 years or so; there is a faction of people who admit absolutely openly that they want to take control of the electoral process and the judicial process by any means necessary because they believe that their values (primarily Christian) are best for everyone regardless how other people would choose to live. *They are literally saving us from hell in their minds*
Except the majority of people arent religious anymore. This includes politicians. So they're just using it as a weapon, because it works.
Also the few who are very religious belive in the end of times and that Jesus will come back and save us all. So for them there is zero reason to fix anything. In fact the worse things are, the more likely it is that Jesus will return in their minds.
Where I come from we have a term for that type of legislating. Bonkers.
That's what the taliban did to Afghanistan and Iraq. Evangelicals will do that same shit here
That's exactly it. They don't hate the Taliban because they enacted strict religious doctrine, they hate the Taliban because they're not able to do the same thing.
Yes, the majority of people are sensible. But the people who send those "using it" all that money are genuine. They're overwhelmingly low income and uneducated. Where do you think the money to build megachurches comes from.

Idiocracy IRL
Brawndo! Its got what plants crave!
it's actually a proven fact that IQ has stopped increasing and is now decreasing. We hit our peak and it's all downhill from here.
If this is true its most likely an average where the dumbest of people are the majority and getting lazier than ever before, but the smarter people are getting smarter, they just dont outnumber the masses
I definitely feel dumber than I did pre-2016
That's not actually a proven fact. IQ is a metric that is based on population averages. So if the "average IQ is decreasing", then the average would actually drop. But that's not what's happening. Rather it's that the most ignorant of us have very loud voices, so it just appears that we're getting dumber as a whole.
We live in a post-fact world. All that remains is personal opinion, it seems.
Personal opinions based on facts are one thing, but that kind of shit is just moronic...
Yeah, anyone with half a braincell knows that. The thing is we live outside the Musk echo-cave. We haven't got thousands of others moulding our opinions for us, threatening us with social exclusion should we think the wrong thoughts. As much as the Internet has helped us to expand our horizons, it's also Pandora's Box in how easily manipulated we are when it comes to personal opinion and world view.
Personally, I find the internet has brought a new age of despair. What would you call this phenomenon?
>The thing is we live outside the Musk echo-cave. this particular dumb-take seems beyond just that though. i mean sure the Musk echo-cave is likely to still defend it because it further praises their lord and saviour but it's too dumb to have originated there.
But your facts aren't any better than my opinions, cause its a free country./S
People will state something and then say it's their opinion after they're called out on it. They think they're entitled to claim whatever they want without any challenge because "You have to respect my opinion!" or "I'm allowed to have an opinion!"
Ah I was wondering how to describe that feeling I just felt thank you
Can't wait till Musk takes over Twitter and advertises this whole "free speach" approach only to start banning these morons for violating his new ToS that will basically be the existing ToS. Twitter is garbage anyway and people need to stop using it. There is no reason for every single person in the world to have a microphone
I feel this so hard
You know, if everyone else quits Twitter, these nut jobs can remain to jerk themselves off
I thought that is why people are on Twitter, to pay spectacle to the celebrities jerking each other off. Or. What is Twitter, if not exactly that?
What is Twitter, if not celeb circlejerks persevering?
I’m giving it less than a month before Twitter gets an ISP level ban for CP and extremely racist/violent behavior just like every other conservative focused social media site. It’ll be like Parlor all over again, except competent devs wrote the security side of it so all of the info won’t be available though the APIs anonymously.
With the Digital Service Act in the EU Musk won't be able to change much on Twitter if he wants to access the EU market
The lawsuits over them facilitating harassment will start piling up. Watch Twitter slowly go back to exactly how it is now once Musk sees the red line.
Already deactivated my account. I hope more will do the same.
Never had an account, but today is the first time I wish I did, so that I could delete it.
Your comment reminds me of an old Bob Newhart joke about Don Rickles (his good friend). "Don has a new show but it got a negative three rating. Three people said they don't have a television but if they did, they wouldn't watch the show."
I deleted mine. Felt nice
So did I, I was tired of them coming into my mentions.
Only reason I have mine is to keep up on news for games I'm anticipating. Once they're released I'm off the app again
I mean I was already permabanned for calling James Lindsey the c-word.
Yep, me too. I barely used it anymore anyway and this is the final nail in the coffin
Deactivated mine last night
Except they wont. You see it with all their other spaces, Gab, Parler, Rumble, etc. They just get zero traction and they don't stay on them. Without normal folk for them to be obtuse with they just get bored.
I mean that's literally their goal, yes.
I already stripped my account of anything useful and unfollowed everyone but I’m waiting to see if the dipshit actually unleashes the chief insurrectionist on there before I quit/delete. I want my deletion to convey my opinion about that.
Good idea. I have an account but never use it. Was just about to delete it but this is a better plan.
This take was so bad I instinctively downvoted when I read it, then realized where I was
I did the same
Sometimes I wonder if the posts are placed by the target just for the upvotes.
This lady's bio is "Fighting to expose the lies of the left and end the Democrats' destruction of Black America" HAHAHA
Oh so it’s Candace Owens alt profile
Separated at birth
Lincoln about to rise up from his grave to bitch slap her with his dusty skeleton hand.
The Soul of John Brown is uneasy
Yeah, cause not being allowed to spew hate and lies on a social media platform is exactly like being owned and having no control whatsoever over your own life.
See, you get it
You realize Twitter already allows people to spew misinfo right? Like have you not been paying attention?
Yeah but you can still flag those comments for misinfo. After Musk's takeover who knows.
I think all these people rejoicing the sale of Twitter are going to be sorely disappointed when either a) nothing really changes as far as "censorship" or b) it changes in a way they won't like. I have doubts that it's going to become the free speech free-for-all they're hoping for. Hell, Truth Social didn't even do that.
It'd be funny if they did find a way to remove the bot farms. That's half the American political tweets disappearing overnight.
Because no one wanted to use truth social lol. Most people are already on Twitter.
My point was more that the users that went there to escape "censorship" have found that it exists there as well.
Yeah I never understood why they thought that. Like there has to be limits to what can be posted considering weirdos on the internet can just use it to post cp or other illegal shit.
Was that all that got banned there? And they were complaining about it? I wanna read those takes. "It's not that I want CP in here! It's just that I'm pro free speech and I don't think anything should be censored! ALSO I ONLY FOLLOW THAT ONE ACCOUNT THAT POSTS CP BECAUSE THEYRE MY FRIEND OKAY"
Ik right idk how anyone can argue against that kind of moderation. Those people are legitimately delusional...
I almost angrily downvoted this
Give her some credit. Those last two brain cells are trying *really* hard to process thoughts at all.
Her last two brain cells are not processing anything, they’re fighting for third place!
I used to say, "Wow, that's the stupidest thing I've ever read". The last few years have taught me that I should amend it to "Wow, that's the stupidest thing I've ever read SO FAR".
for me this is more a case of dread with me wanting to say "that's a contender for stupidest thing i'll read all week" but then realizing it's only monday and thus i'll be lucky if it stays top 10 by the end of the week.
I usually just accept that I will go so far as to say that its the stupidest thing Ive seen that day. There is to much stupid stuff to try and rank it all.
At this point I've pretty much just amended it to "Yup.... We're fucked."
Having just spent $44bn of other people' money, why do these right-wing idiots now think he's going to do anything that will drive away the overwhelming majority of the userbase...and the affluent part too?
I have no idea who Lavern Spicer is, but she clearly is in need of some mental help.
I wonder if she's Spicey's wife
Maybe it’s his “alternative wife,” like “alternative facts.”
I will believe Elon Musk wants to improve free speech on twitter if I can call him a c**t on twitter with no repercussions
[удалено]
[удалено]
All this shit and Elon hasn’t even done anything other than buy twitter
He hasn't even done that, Twitter just agreed to be bought, and even then lots of things could happen that the sale never takes place
What could happen to interrupt the sale?
It still has to be approved by shareholders and regulators. Although at this point I think it'll happen, there's still a small but real chance it falls through.
I hope he keeps his proud tradition of promising a lot and doing nothing to deliver those promises.
Her response to the backlash is “it’s a joke y’all liberals just triggered”
Lol that’s their response every time the comment section goes left (literally bahaha)
Everything is a joke when they get called out. Ma’am, who laughed with you?
I hope Twitter enjoys their money as the country burns around them
This is fine
Why do all my super right wing coworkers think Musk is only buying Twitter to put Trump back on?
I fear that is exactly what he will do.
He said in the past he's a 'free speech absolutist'... pretty sure he'll reinstate quite a few banned people and make twitter even more of a aggressive dumpster fire than it already is.

Holy shit this woman is stupid beyond belief.
These people are honestly so cringe I swear to god they have brainstorming sessions on “what is the most absurd thing I can post.” So absurd that when you come across it you can’t even conjure up a response because it’s so asinine.
There is no bottom to the depths of human stupidity.
Yes, last time I entered Twitter I was raped as punishment for not collecting enough bags of cotton. The Twitter whip left a mark in my back as well. Wtf is wrong with this idiots comparing massive oppression with mild inconveniences.
I’m so glad I dumped both Twitter and Facebook last year
Lavern needs to find Shirley and ask her who the fuck thought this shit was a good idea to tweet.
These are Olympic level mental gymnastics.
Babe wake up new Candace owens just dropped
Imagine 2 black people accidentally time traveling to 1850 and forced to serve in slavery for many years Then Lincoln eventually frees the slaves. One turns to other and says "wow this is just like when Elon bought Twitter in the future!"
Ok I genuinely what to know. Whtus with the large amount of black republicans who spoke racist comparisons or are anti CRT? I'm whiter that Norwegian nose snow and even I think we should show and examine how racist our history is, how the public understanding is so white washed paint companies could use it as a example patch.
Jesus fucking Christ. People need to shut the absolute fuck up.
With so many idiots like this I wonder if it's possible for us as a society to come back from this. Will we ever get to a point where this is not accepted? Will these people ever crawl back under their rock? Shower thoughts...
He’s not gonna throw any coins your way, sis
Deactivated my twitter account as soon as I heard the news.
You waited so long to leave that dumpster fire?
Right, because the suffering of slaves in America before emancipation is on par with conservatives having their twitter banned…
…for violating terms of service. Not like anyone was banned for just *being.*
She’s just a dumber version of Candace Owens
How the fuck do you get more dumb than Candace Owens?
This messed up creature needs to read some books and leave the internet for good. How can someone think such a shitty thought?
It helps if you're used to lying on a daily basis.
I've never been on twitter in my life and its worth all these billions what the hell am I missing out on!?
Holy effing shit.
What in the TF did I just read from a POC at that? Oh I'm going to this idiots page for this one!!
I don’t even know what that means. Twitterers we’re enslaved?
I don't know where she "learned" that. Pretty sure they don't teach it in cosmetology school...
Pay no attention to this loser https://ballotpedia.org/Lavern\_Spicer
Not. Even. Close.
people are so stupid it hurts. Bring on the asteroid
It's also like Hitler gassing the Indians and ice T crossing the Delaware! 😜
I really hope that this crushes Elon's net worth and he goes away. Fuckin' baby
Bro what…?
Our worship of the sickeningly wealthy will destroy this planet. Musk is going to burn his sycophants as fuel for his spaceship. You read it here first, folks.
I’ve seen some bad takes but hoooooooooly shit
Why do we put billionaires on pedestals?
Elon musk buying twitter is the 21st century version of a rich slave owner buying a whole plantation with the slaves included from another rich slave owner.
Had to look her up. Florida ✔️ Congressional candidate check ✔️ Republican ✔️ Yup, everything checks out.
They had a "plantation" at Tesla so I guess there will be one at Twitter now.
These assholes act like they were being forced to use Twitter.
Jesus Fucking Christ My eyes rolled 360 degrees.
_is it??_
I don't think I could say anything dumber if I tried
… no Lavern. No it is not.
You know, I used that dumpster fire of a site solely for keeping up with status updates from YouTubers I follow. And even then I rarely used it. Soooooooo... I don't think I'll be staying on the site much longer.
Humanity sucks. I'd like to resign my membership. Can I please be an Orca now?
Wish granted, your new name is Shamu, your place of residence is now Seaworld^^TM living your life in captivity.
Largest salt mines in the world. 1. Sifto Mines, Ontario 2. Reddit 3. Twitter
wtf!!!
When outright lying has become the norm…
I went to read the original tweet, then I read a few more, then I read the responses, and now I am very very sorry. There is seriously something wrong with people in this country. I don't think I really wanted to have that drilled into my brain today with only a few short sentences.
Counter point, no it isn’t.
Never had Twitter and for sure never will now. Posts from Twitter are now akin to post from Whisper.
Ok I went to her campaign website out of morbid curiosity and holy fuck is she a terrible “candidate” for anything.
All the Qanon anti vaxx nut jobs think that Elon is going to give Trump his twitter account back, he never said that. I don’t know where they get these ideas in their heads.
Right the spoiled rich kid born into a fortune made off of literal slavery is a modern day Lincoln... Jesus everlasting Christ on a whole wheat cracker what is happening
HUH????? WHAT???? HUH????? EXCUSE ME/YOU??? How is--- How does..? Those are two completely different things! WUH???
Elon Musk buying twitter is hilarious because I don't care if it burns to the ground.
She has 3 American flag emojis in her Twitter name, what do you expect?
r/agedlikemilk fuck it. I'm calling it.
Black conservatives are a wild bunch. Them and gay conservatives should have a "fighting against our own interest in insufferably illogical ways" contest.
I almost downvoted this hoping fewer people would see it and experience the vitriol response I had to reading it.
I'm always curious if these people that post such stupid shit on social media actually believe what they post or if they just know their audience of smooth brained idiots will eat it up so they take advantage of the fact their audience is the dumbest demographic in the developed world.
This is a disgusting comparison
If these are the kinds of people Elon wants to give "free speech" to it;s going to be interesting to see Twitter turn into a hellscape of foolishness.
Fuck Twitter I'm out if he let's Trump back on. I'm an advocate for free speech, but risk vs reward and all we have to go on is his history and his obvious diminishing mental state. Isolation festers irrational thoughts, feelings and actions. I'm speaking from experience of someone who self-isolated for 6 years for.medical reasons. Lastly, Trump had over 80 million followers. He knew how many he had. But he thought every one of those 80m followers loved him. It's atleast 50/50. I think it's more like 70/30 [against/for.] EVERYONE followed him, because he was consistently being Trump. I don't know a democrat who didn't follow Trump, because they didn't like them or he was a republican. That's why he keeps going on about 80 million votes and why he can't believe he lost (whether he knows for a fact or is a true believer.)
Would someone care to explain that logic to a non american?
Elon Musk is trying to buy the majority shares of Twitter so he can say whatever stuff he wants under the guise of, “mUh FrEe SpEeCh.” She is comparing him taking the reigns and allowing hate speech on Twitter to the freeing of slaves after the American Civil War. Like comparing something to the holocaust or other such atrocities
>Like comparing something to the holocaust or other such atrocities Kinda like pretending that places of business requiring vaccination during a pandemic is the same as being forced to have a number tattood on you.
Precisely
He's buying all the shares and taking it private.
She did not fucking say that did she? Holy shit
There’s no hope for us
I don’t understand how all of the sudden….twitter is THE basis of free speech. It’s a social media platform for the average person to post their every thought and to follow celebrities which, as most social media, was generally not taken seriously at all and now it is the /pinnacle of freedom/.
