"Kill Musk's Twitter" - More left fascism (This time from the UK)
A shady British censorship organization is trying to influence the American election
Yesterday we criticized Elon Musk for being part of the crony system, which he is and was. But it is a fact that he did humanity a giant favor by wrestling Twitter from the censors and speech totalitarians. Had he not many of the most important stories of the past couple of years would not have seen the light of day. Musk taking over Twitter was a massive win for free people.
And the (left) fascists hate that.
The left-fascists (who are increasingly partnering with the neocon “right”) do not want free speech because they know that the general population, now an increasingly informed population, can hold them to account. Spew disinformation (you know ACTUAL disinformation) about some disease outbreak? Guess what? You are now going to get crowd peer reviewed. When Twitter was controlled by information gatekeepers who partnered with government censors, the woke brigade, the left-fascists, whatever one wants to call them, the platform could keep a lid on many stories. If Google, Facebook, etc. joined in on censoring a story, good luck. This is exactly what happened with the Hunter Biden laptop story about this time of year four years ago.
There is a legitimate argument to be made that had the laptop story not been censored (I still can’t believe this happened in the USA) Joe Biden might never have been president. That means the disastrous Afghanistan pullout would likely never have happened. The pullout encouraged Putin’s move into Ukraine’s Donbas region. (Though the official trans-Atlantic crowd of course insists this isn’t the case.) The Ukraine war in turn has since sparked a dramatic rise in global tensions with potentially nuclear implications.
Censorship is dangerous.
