Twitter has officially changed its logo to ‘X’

That's a strawman. Nobody's upset about the rockets(1), flamethrowers, electric cars, fake robots in pantyhose. The Twitter thing, though, isn't fun: it's tipping the scales for Erdogan, it's kowtowing to the Chinese government preemptively, elevating literal neo-nazis to prominence, personally promoting anti-semitism. And that's just some of the damage.

And the people in my world who are upset about Twitter do not give anyone a pass on the Epstein flight logs and Panama Papers.

[1] mostly. there is the matter of the habitat destruction because SpaceX failed to listen to experts.

the fact that one single app has that much influence means it ought to be destroyed. I was hoping Musk would walk into Twitter, pull the plug, and go home. Now I hope, maybe, he'll just grind it to dust.

It's always odd to me so see so much nationalism mixed in with otherwise liberal rhetoric. "Kowtowing" to China!

Seems like the normal case for right-thinking, properly-educated citizens so I guess I'm just a weirdo contrarian.

Yes, we are much more correct than those brain-washed post-secondary flakes. Absurd to use words like “kowtowing.” There’s nothing wrong with abandoning Western Democratic ideals in favour of making mad bank with the help of a dictatorship. It’s just common sense capitalism. How TF else can a person become a billionaire? Bunch of jealous losers, I say.

I am certain I can find at least one angry blogger for every single post you’ve listed. I can remember at least a dozen angry articles over the flamethrower alone.

Regarding your complaints about twitter:

> In response to a 2017 request from the Pentagon, Twitter kept online a network of accounts that the U.S. military used to advance its interests in the Middle East

It’s not so much fun when it’s directed against you, is it?
