so why do you want to boycott this guy but say nothing about companies like blackrock who are truly evil and people like bill gates who are sick pedophiles who want to destroy the world for your children and children's children.

i'm not even a conspiracy nut.

I think you just contradicted yourself. :-)

not really. look into it yourself.

I really didn't intend to make this a debate. Just remind folks: if you have a Twitter/X account, you're helping Elon's empire (even minutely), and if you don't want to do that, consider deactivating the account. That's all.

I don't even know how they are helping him by being a member of twitter.
and by reminding people and asking them to deactivate aren't you supporting people who are opposed to musk who end up being bad people who work in the us govt?

I don't need to know someone personally to disagree with their views and how they treat people. Some people are just toxic individuals and I'd rather not have anything to do with them or their business.

but do you really know what his views are or how he treats people.

From what i've seen (and what he's doing right now) he's asking people who have been in employment for a long time what they do at their job and what they've contributed. Many of these people can't come up with anything. that's a red flag that they need to go. whats wrong with that?

Are you SURE you're just not a highly suggestable person who does what the media tells you?

I didn't announce my departure...I just did it. Didn't announce "I'm Here!" when I joined, why would I announce "I'm Leaving!"?

but you literally DID annouce that you're leaving X.

This is not worth any brainpower, really.

The virtue signaling brigade has decided that having an active account at X/Twitter is a loyalty pledge to the Republican party and therefore it can be used as an identifiable trait for republicanism. If you don't remember the Call a Deer a Horse fable I am not going to repost it, because it is getting tiresome. This is just another example.

Debian recently left Twitter because nazies and fascists, which irks me the wrong way because they have been partnering with platforms that are sexist and racists themselves and nobody has complained. Bunch of hypochrites.

It's okay to have a differing opinion. And it's not necessary for you to continue to try to 'sell' me on the idea that I might be wrong. If I don't like him, I don't like him. You can if you want...that's totally up to you.

Are you SURE you're just not a highly suggestable person who does what
the media tells you?

Mmmm, yeah. Pretty sure. I don't watch CNN, FOX, MSNBC, CBS, etc. simply because they are nothing but pundit panels and I'd rather not hear their opinion or interpretation. Just give me the news and let me work it out. I watch only the local news...which tends to be...well, local. Yeah, they may report on something that's on the national stage, but that's pretty much only after the shit has hit the fan.

I didn't announce my departure...I just did it. Didn't announce "I'm Here!" when I joined, why would I announce "I'm Leaving!"?

Interesting interpretation. I said that I quit Twitter/X within a week of Musk purchasing it. He purchased it in October 2022...so when I told DM that I had shut down my account it was over 2 years later. So I didn't announce that I was leaving...you could however interpret it as announcing that I had already left. There is a difference.

I don't understand how this will get down to the bottom of anything regarding what we were discussing. I certainly don't believe that he was "sending his heart out to the crowd". Regardless, he did the gesture (you can't dispute that). There are those that think the interpretation of the gesture is open for debate. I, however, am not one of those.

I'm like that as well.. I sometimes watch local news channels for local news, but I take everything else they report with a grain of salt.

I have the feeling that if someone says yes, that means they just go along with everyone else, but if they say no, they're thinking for themselves (not just going along with everyone else who says no).

it's a way to gauge if you are a lunatic or not.
and you are hesitant to answer it because you know that.
