Mood and conversations on Twitter remind of early days DU

...at least as it was described, as a refuge on the World Wide Web, waiting for the hammer to drop and discussing ways to resist if the doom that was feared eventually happened (I got here a bit later).

Lots of people milling around Twitter with a sense of intrepidness and bravado, waiting for the horde, I suppose, that's predicted to come back on and alter the state of advocacy and discussion there. I think they look far more formidible than anything arrayed on the other side of the political and social spectrum of belief and promotion, but time will tell.

To me, it looks like a fight well worth waging on Twitter, if there's really one to be conducted by Musk and his ilk.

Beyond some thinly veiled self-congratulation, did that word side salad have a point?

From the animated cartoon movie Me and my Arrow, "Sometimes you don't need a point to make a point".

Because only the left goes searching for that which is not there in a desperate attempt to be offended about something.

"If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

Many people do not see evil until the gas is flowing into the chamber. That is why they get on the trains in the first place.

Yeah, what is this "fight", exactly? Are they going to ward off their political foes and Musk with their... uh... bravado?

Ted Kennedy is the only person with an actual confirmed kill in the war on women.

Go on I'm listening.

As a general rule leftists are on the left side of the IQ normal distribution... that's why we call them leftists. Now the inane and stupid tweets will be met with wit and funny counter tweets demonstrating the low IQ leftists are so proud to display. This is going to be boffo. Hell I might even get a twitter account.

I saw an FB convo yesterday - unlike DUpipo, I don't cut off friends whose political views differ from mine - about Musk taking ownership of Twitter. One of my FB Friends immediately jumped to Trump being reinstated. Evidently she saw it as some sort of corporate duty for Twitter to ban Trump and similarly minded conservatives. She's one of the two or four women runners who at a February 2017 running event thought wearing crocheted pink @#%%^ hats was a great idea. She's not DU-grade, but she really dislikes Trump, :rotf: .

The Mutts are acting like Lord Musk bought the DUmp. Now that, I would pay to see.
