Anonymous sources say
'The press is the enemy of minorities' - Ocasio-Cortez probably
The press hurt my feelings wah wah im a wamen
im freaking out
Over what?
Comrade Cortez I'm guessing
In other news Sarah Jeong got verified complete with her racist tweets
Seeing all the bans stacking up has me worried for what this will lead to.
Im off twitter for a while now
comrade cortez banning the press is totalitarian
shes officially a totalitarian socialist
They banned me for my username. It says i can verify my phone and change my name, except my name is identical to my handle i had for a couple years before... But twitter, meh... Granted, i had some big followers, including mercedes carrera but in the end, twitter isnt to consequnetial to me.
Just don’t be a bad person and you won’t need to worry about getting banned!
you cant have democracy without free press
Everyone is free in Cortez' America, but some people are more free than others
Also @Schedrevka the bans have me feeling optimistic tbh
The great social media purge will backfire
As shit as social media is and as much as a part of me wants to see it burn down the internet has been a major leap forward for the dissemination of info
That power used to be reserved for the elite
As much as I hate social media, I don’t like that people are moving to other platforms that encourage bubbles to form
Im glad to see the established plattforms burn tbh
Tim had a bernie crush on cortez
Thing is, nothing stops people from joining up on the "right wing" platforms
The left is willingly segregating
And you can't stop them from doing so
Cortez is successfully distracting from Ellison.
I think we're at a pretty pivotal point in history where a lot of change is happening and will continue to happen. It's impossible to say where it will lead
But then maybe that's just what everyone throughout much of history has felt
Nah the 90s were chill af
I dont think trends are *that* unpredictable
And humans do definitely follow trends
@Beemann and there are new social media systems/plattforms with a more diverse crowd
For sure
The problem is that our politics are getting increasingly polarized and that can only lead to one thing.
Centrist death squads.
^^
I wouldn't call her TOtalitarian, Tim
Radical alt-centrists are the next big threat
I'd call her a fucking moron
who doesn't understand how the media works
