I hope you guys enjoyed your flirtations with fascism. You won't get a second shot at it.

The FBI and DHS have portals to Twitter and Facebook to tell them who to censor and ban. You really should keep up with important court cases so you know these things. The government is not the market and it is illegal for these companies to censor and ban people because the government says so.

We have made our own and bought one of yours and the left are losing their minds over it.
COVID took out 1 million American lives, and hospitals across the country were at or over capacity due to the virus. If you think that's not an emergency, then i don't know what to say to you.

You thinking Twitter is a leftist platform is completely non-sensical. Many, many conservatives have posted there for years without repercussion (like President Cheeto), and many in fact still do. It was until recently that they decided to get serious on moderating the misinformation.

Buying an unprofitable social media platform and making it even more unprofitable isn't what i would call "owning the libs."

Then why are the libs crying so hard over Elon buying Twitter? Can't these fired developers just go and make their own platform? Maybe they need to actually #LearnToCode.

Oh no the boogeyman libs are complaining the boogeyman libs are complaining what am I gonna do the boogeyman libs are complaining they should just buy out infrastructure and create a left wing hugbox like Elon wants to make it a right wing hugbox the libs are complaining.

Also just post about the Republican party's shitting habits. It'd be more valuable than anything you've ever posted or will post. Promise.

And you guys sure do complain a lot about a private company's inner workings. Seems Twitter was very important to the left.

The Republican's shitting habits should be similar to Democrat's shitting habits. A uniparty that shits together, stays together.

What else you got, loser?

Y-you called me a loser! On the internet! How dare you!

I'm a left wing conspiracist hired by Soros by the way. I managed to eat your babies and use my socialist cabal to take away every gun you own and melt it down into a playground in where black people can shoot back at the police with a big laser cannon which is shot out from the sky. Tucker warned you of me.

Get owned, fucko.

I'm a right wing conspiracist hired by Trump by the way. I managed to cause global warming, take away the rights for all minorities, took away abortion rights for all women, and I don't pay any taxes. Maddow warned you of me.

LOLGF, loser.

Shit that's a pretty impressive resume. I gotta go back to Soros and inform him that you did all that.

not even close. We're more fed up with schools not being funded well, resulted in the majority of us having crappy (but somewhat functional) education, making us have to go supplement it from what we could scrounge online to help us during classes, or asking classmates.

Literally in one of my school years (8th grade) My math teacher told the class something along the lines of:
"You need to keep up this year as it's going to be a firehose, and your going to drown if you don't keep your head above the water"

That's not hyperbole, she really did say firehose, and that was day one. And it was because the curriculum kept changing. Along with decreased funding in education as time went on.

I don't blame the teacher, the school simply lacked the funds needed to properly teach all of us. Because so many of the pages were so unreasonably confusing, that even someone math savay would say "this is poorly written"

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Simply put, because of Republican's polices adversely affecting us. We quickly learned to not like them, purely from just from previous polices and actions in our lifetime.

for example, you want to have a decent education to get shit done, and Republicans constantly looking to cut funding out of it. Is not helpful. Let alone Regan/Nixon being the reason we have a paid collage system.

Then opposing gay marriage and trans people is a big deal. Since Gen z, we're a mostly open book. We're not going to go hide who we are, and our tolerance for bullshit is a lot smaller. Especially (for work) since many of us saw our parents struggle, and or have seen them struggle. Or seen them burned out.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Or for the vast bulk that's voting today, living through 2008. And Republicans
https://apnews.com/article/north-am...ervices-laws-00c7349a612b41f496b80bacc6964409
essentially wanting to undo the law that prevents another 08 from happening. I really don't like remembering the discussion about my parents struggling to keep their house.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
And that's just the start of it. We don't really like democrats THAAAT much. We like Bernie (or people close to him) because he speaks to how sick and tired we are of hearing this bullshit system. But our frustration with Republicans, is a thousand times higher. So if we're forced to pick between the two, it's democrats.

Also, a lot of us heard our parents say "that's just how the world works" to any response as to "hey this feels and looks pretty bullshit"

And the vast majority of us say "say's who? There's no reason it needs to be like this. It's not the world, it's this system."
Everything you say here is pretty well thought out and it's easy to understand (and share) the frustration, but what's mindbogling is that you people turn to soialism to find a fix to all these issues when it would in fact turn everything far worse.
It's like trying to treat alcoholism with heroine.

You want your education system to be nothing more than useless indoctrination? Go with socialism.
You want to see your parents house that they worked so hard to build crumble due to lack of maintenance and materials? Go with socialism.
You wanna see the streets filled with people who need wellfare rather than people who have a decent job? Go with socialism.
You wanna see stores empty with no supplies? Go with socialism.

As an inmigrant that fled a socialist country I can assure you that it's far easier to fix flaws in a capitalist democracy than any socialist "utopia" where change is pretty much non-existant.

When I migrated I didn't have a house, nor family. I had nothing. I worked my ass off, studied a really tough college degree and I'm doing well now, from literal zero to being middle-upper class.
That's how it works in capitalism, the guys that were skipping class to smoke weed, or the guys that decided to do an easier "social studies" degree with no market value aren't doing so fine in comparison (exceptions exists of course).

Why should I be held responsible for the failures of others? Being able to help others requires two things: the other person also willing to help itself (which they didn't), and you having enough abundancy to share.

In socialism nobody has any abundancy, so you can't really help your neighbors since you need help yourself.

Also let me remind you that most of the issues you pointed out (which I agree with), are not the result of the capitalist system, it's the result of politicians sticking their hands in this system to change the market in their favor and gain higher control. As you yourself pointed out, this issues wouldn't exist if those Republicans didn't mess so much and actually did what the people want.
Socialism is a system where politicians have full control over the economy, why on earth would you want to give full control to the same people that are responsible for all these issues? Talk about putting out a fire with gasoline.

Twitter's importance is on a global scale. If you think it only negatively affects lefties then you haven't been paying attention.

I totally agree with you. The left's megaphone got taken away so their ability to spread disinformation and censor the truth is greatly diminished.
