I missed Taibi's part 3 posts after 26. I think he might have deleted some of his own tweets.
I noticed the specific case where Twitter explicitly states that they refuse to take satire or jokes into account. Having known that Reddit has done this for years, it feels like a bit of personal vindication for me, knowing that I have to knowingly remove obvious jokes because they refuse to tolerate satire.
Then all of the sudden when the former fucking AG straight up says that SCOTUS attacked the USPS to deny people their civil rights, that's entirely factually accurate?
It's hard to fucking tell if they are so fucking delusional that they think they are being perfectly objective, or they are just lying to themselves.
Look at these conversations though. Their lies to the public are only the top layer "oh we're not doing that". The rest of these conversations are just them back-rationalizing their own biases and false presuppositions. Tim Pool's interview with Vajaya? (Vagina Janny?)... "the idiot" showed that they did not perceive that "misgendering" was an inherently biased political position. They did not perceive that misgendering isn't reliant on self-identification. She literally didn't know that conservatives considered calling "Elliot Page" misgendering, because they were recognizing Ellen's actual sex.
All of that is based on the same logic. This is what actual systemic bias looks like. Each person, at every single level, is entirely biased by their own ideological presuppositions that are entirely locked in place. It is only from that point, where they begin to make decisions and craft behaviors. Trump is a Nazi. There can be no deviations from that. It is an absolute axiomatic fact. It is a fundamental, mathematical, postulate of the universe that can not be denied. From that assumption, all other decisions can be made. But only from that assumption.
It's not that they don't know that Trump isn't a Nazi. They don't even live in a universe where a non-Nazi Trump could even exist at all. It is as fundamentally true as the Law of the Conservation of Energy. It is the Law of the Conservation of Bad in Orange Man.
It is only from that point, that they enact biased behaviors and lies.
We think they are lying about 100% of the shit they say. Instead they are lying to us about 10% of the shit they say, and the other 90% they can't not believe.
Precisely. This is why they cannot be reasoned with, why any attempt to do so is met with the fight or flight response. You see it in every interview with a leftist, hostile questioning or not, whether it's with a footsoldier or one of their intelligentsia.
They have Schroedinger's Brain where they simultaneously believe the exact literal interpretation of each individual word they see and don't believe a single thing about anything at all.
How can someone be a nihilistic zealot? How can they claim to believe in nothing, and believe undyingly in specific absolute moral truths, and still have a brain that holds together?
Their 'truth' is the revolution and everything that leads to it, contradictions be damned.
Treat what they say as pure duckspeak. No thought to it at all except as a 'true lie' that leads to the promised land, delivered with authority.
In the absence of objective truth, the propaganda that most suits the immediate end is correct. There is no coherence, only the party line, and a boot smashing a human face, forever.

They aren't lying to themselves, they're lying to all of us.

Where does the cognitive dissonance even go?
It's a superpower as far as I'm concerned. I have absolutely no idea how they mechanically do it.

They're still on the threadreader app at least.
It seems he deleted 28 and then lost count or something, and that this then broke the thread. I can't find the later ones even in the oldest archives.
