It isn't saying it is just Russia nor has any one argued that You are literally arguing things no one has said. Get your head examined. The most recent examples exist right hear in the United States. Again I ask you, how can their be oligarchs in an authoritarian dictatorship? Are you saying Putin seeks their counsel? What the hell can they possibly do for Putin? Oligarchs exist because they are able to corrupt the government, either legally or illegally. Putin is the law. He can’t be corrupted. He has total control. Putin: Nice yacht you got there, Boris. It’s mine now. Boris: Yes boss. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is pretty clear that conservatives are flocking back thinking the chains are off and liberals are leaving thinking it will be a bigger wasteland because the chains are off.

shorepatrol 1,871 Posted April 28, 2022 14 hours ago, vomit said: Having been through this, there are lots of emotions that come with the purchase of your company, especially in a politically charged environment. Just having empathy for the execs here, they have built a successful organization, following their ideals, brought it public, and can run the org as they see fit. Now they lose their public status and any future equity, and the focus of the company is in doubt. Who knows what Musk is going to do, who is going to be fired, how will things change. It's a very uncertain time and the employees of twitter rightfully have anxiety and fear. But I understand it's more fun to make this political and attack liberals, so have at it. You are utterly and uselessly blind to the fact liberals have done this to every company they own. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jonmx 2,433 Posted April 28, 2022 8 hours ago, vomit said: So this is the list of poeple that means that conservatism is dead on twitter? What a bunch of cry babies. Conservatism is far from dead. They banned literally hundreds of thousands of people for just following these people or re-tweeting true stories. The point is not to cry about it, but to point out what sissies you gals are for not allowing certain topics or posters to be discussed. Nothing but a bunch of lying cowards.

Pool for example his twitter feed now recommends skateboarding and hes never gotten a recommendation for that, despite being a huge skateboarding guy suppressing peoples follower numbers makes people think that they aren't relevant there is no explanation other than shadow blocking/banning why someone who has been on twitter for years would get 85,000 followers in one day, while someone on the gets like 1000 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The evidence is so obvious that I can't even believe the conversations need to be had. There's a percentage of the population that there is simply no hope for. Twitter is all about visibility, all of the sudden more eyes are seeing certain content that they weren't seeing before. Most people probably don't know you have to adjust your settings to actually get tweets in chronological order. Without that change, you are seeing what they want you to see, only. They were\are also constantly screwing with this option. None of this matters though, these idiots will believe whatever they want. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RLLD 4,275 Posted April 28, 2022 It is remarkable. The level of comfort on display from the left to suppress free speech is startling. Only THEIR message is safe, allowable.Only THEIR thoughts, beliefs and speech is allowable.
