If Elon Musk truly wished to destroy the woke mind virus, the best thing he could do with Twitter is to simply shut it down, as Twitter is the number one way in which the virus spreads.
This is why we have a crisis of trust in this country, because the journoswine and the experts keep lying.
What if--and hear me out now--what if instead of spending multiple hours a day on social media consuming fear, anger, envy, despair, and porn... you didn't do that?
Okay then, you should be in favor of heavily taxing these hedge funds and making sure universities can't exploit this loophole. After all, you want to tax the rich, right?
It's called kayfabe. People don't watch the news or go on social media to become informed, they tune in for the emotional high. Pretend to care about our cause and we'll manage your emotions for you. Everyone knows that it is bullshit, but you can never say so out loud or you'll get cancelled. So everyone keeps pretending that the things that don’t make sense make sense, and they keep pretending that they believe things they don’t to avoid the social consequences of telling the truth.
Wait till you find out how many members of the Weathermen--who are actual terrorists, bank robbers, and murders--went on to become professors and other members of leftist institutions. Read this.
I bet you have had to live with these retards to have such detailed knowledge. It's usually the people who have had to live with leftists in particular that truly understand how they think.
Former college professor, so yes. Books by former cultists are becoming very trendy nowadays too.
Its more than just lying. The really funny part is how pissy they get when someone points out that their lies are lies.
First off, the lies of progressivism are implausible to the point of ridiculousness. No amount of upvotes will change the fact that every cell in your body has a Y chromosome and that you are physiologically male and always have been since the day you were born. No amount of Instagram followers will change the fact that eating more calories than you burn will make you fat. No amount of retweets will change the fact that you cannot radically restructure society and expect it to work the way you want it to, solely because you want it to, whether that be abolishing the police or gutting your industry in the name of fighting climate change.
Second, the lies the progressives perpetuate are horrible. They want to believe that the world is fundamentally and irredeemably racist. They want to believe that police officers are gunning down dozens of unarmed black men every day and getting away with it. They want to believe that covid kills or permanently debilitates everyone who catches it. They want to believe climate change will kill billions of people over the next decade. They want to believe that we are perpetually minutes away from roving gangs of Nazis dragging black and queer kids out of their homes in broad daylight and violently raping and/or murdering them in the streets while no one says anything. They want to believe that all of this injustice, humiliation, and violence isn't just inevitable, it's irresistible. You are forever doomed to lose at life because of your identity and/or you are complicit in perpetuating this engine of destruction.
But what is really fascinating is that when presented with evidence that all of the above isn't true, they don't feel relief, they get defensive and angry. When they are given apologies, they don't accept them. When someone else points out the contradictions and faulty logic, they cover their ears and double down. Every time progressives get a reality check, they don't realize that what they have been doing is foolish and doomed to fail for obvious reasons of the laws of physics, biology, economics, or human nature. They double down, and they double down hard, because their self-esteem is on the line.
Progressives would rather live in a world where all of the above is really happening and we are all perpetually minutes away from the end of the world, just so they can take another hit off of the crack pipe of moral indignation and boast about how much more virtuous, responsible and caring they are then the rest of us alt-right crypto-Nazis.
Are you afraid you might be a coward? Join us in pretending to believe this lie and you can pretend to feel brave. Are you afraid that your life is meaningless? Join us in pretending to believe this lie and you can pretend your life has purpose. Are you afraid you’re mired in mediocrity? Join us in pretending to believe this lie and you can pretend to feel exceptional. Are you worried that you won’t be able to forget that you’re just pretending and that all those good feelings will thus seem hollow and empty? Join us and we will pretend it’s true for you if you will pretend it’s true for us.
You can’t be doing well if it seems like an improvement to base your life and your sense of self on an insane fantasy that you know is only a fantasy. To challenge that fantasy, to identify it as nothing more than fantasy, is to threaten to send them back to whatever their lives were like before they latched onto this desperate alternative. Its like giving a shot of Narcan to an addict, and they don't like having their good feelings threatened. So they double down to avoid the nasty withdrawal symptoms.
No one is better at deceiving you than you.
It's Washington. I would be more surprised if they didn't find any drugs.
Who fact checks the fact checkers?
And after they release their rage and reconnect with their emotions, they go back on social media to consoom more ragebait and let their peers manage their emotions for them.
When you spend all of your time marinating in fear, outrage and resentment, you become a fearful, angry, and resentful person.
My weight doesn't dictate my happiness anymore. It was a lot of work with self-love and valuing what my body could do over how my body looked. I see it as an opportunity to love myself.
There's a term for people whose self-love makes them deny the reality right in front of them: narcissists.
It's a way to attach moral failure to your actions. It's not just you doing something wrong, you're doing the bad thing because you're motivated by evil.
Another example: When a woman criticizes a man, it's feminism. When a man criticizes a woman, it's misogyny.
The same group of people who spent the last decade crying about Nazis and genocide are now cheering for the extermination of Jews.
It's called being an NPC.
Decolonization is just ethnic cleansing, but woke.
Can we admit it's a little funny that the same group of people who spent the last decade crying about Nazis and genocide are now cheering for the extermination of Jews?
Unfortunately, he'll be kicked out of the anarcho-communist utopia when he realizes he's the only one doing work while everyone else sips lattes and dilates, and then the resentment starts to sink in until he has the gall to demand other people do their share.
It's not about having a consistent ideology, or even fixing the problem. It's about establishing yourself as Oppressed and Marginalized in every situation, because that is how you win at Twitter.
When progressives say "an honest conservation about race", what they mean is a struggle session.
I dunno, spending $50k a day on lawyers to beat a murder charge and then moving to Florida so your assets can't be seized to pay a civil judgment against you strikes me as a very white thing to do.
More like freedom from adulthood. So many trans don't want to be women or men, they want to be "girls" or "boys". And why they are so desperate to "block puberty".
If Twitter is any indication, every day is Transgender Day of Visibility.
Let's have a Transgender Day of Invisibility instead.
Just say that you identify as a Black Girl Gamer. Problem solved.
Progressives are screaming to vote for Kamala because she is a woman, yet they can't define what a woman is.
