Elon Musk Is Out Of Control On Twitter/X

Honestly, things are getting out of hand on Twitter/X. I can't stress this enough folks, Elon Musk is fully out of control. In his idiotic quest to silence the left is all very castingly a maneuver for so turning the platform into a hotbed for both supporting Donald Trump (yeah, he so is back on again) and promoting White Supremacy. Be it in this instance in elevating a known self-proclaimed "raging anti-Semite[sic][/Judeophobe]" Kevin Woods, the brain behind the hashtag #BanTheADL.

Just to be clear, the Anti-Defemation League does a lot of great work with trying to fight discrimination in just about any form. Yet this work has also earned the ADL some incredibly powerful detractors along the way. Per in many cases, rather said opposition sometimes comes from White Supremacy/Power extremists.

Like none of this is entirely new, but it's a real problem when figures like Musk elevate others like Woods. Just so without paying heedance to the corrosive effects. To fully see him doing this is a grave illustration of what's likely to come with next year's presidential election.

Trump is very likely to get elected in 2024, mostly due to some broader legal technicalities that would get him off the hook criminally wise, and he'll move to solidify the voices of hate's hold on what defines constitutional free speech.

I don't mean this as by what we say online, I mean it as by what may not be done for reining in any voices who threaten harm to us whenever we'd totally call out their venomous hatred out. Their flaming, utterly like in this instance might readily end up becoming reclassified as constitutionally protected free speech; even when legal precedent says otherwise.

Now, picture yourself as a kid at school, and right now you're so getting tortured both physically and mentally by your playyard bully. Yet upon the day you chose to fully stand up for yourself, you'd get expelled thus for even reporting them in the first place. But yet hang on a minute, don't think that that's the end with your bully triumphing as you take your walk of shame. All clearly with them jeering yet as each of your exteachers go off  in harsh repremands. See, all of this would truly be the tip of the iceberg here.

So like you see, that would be the environment we'd be thrown into. One where the voices of hatred can totally post, "N****r! N****r!", with the security of knowing that they'd completely get away with it. Moreover, just about any criticism of this practice, and/or of Trump et al., would thus be reclassified as both sedition and hate speech. Legitimacy in this instance so being irrelevant.

Essentially, this is all basically staging ground for mass intimidation. That of course being the setting for rather ostensibly effecting a full totalitarian dictatorship. Just as for how far this goes is anyone's guess, but it's fully now a question of how to check it before we're driven into a proverbial ditch.

Buckle up everyone, it'll be a bumpy ride.

More News On The Kookieness Of Our Nation's Far Right Wing

Ha! That title as apparently one can see, doesn't adequately explain the wholeness of the far-right these days.

First off, we need to address one key fact here. Not all Republicans or conservatives are die-hard supporters of the True-Believer/Tea-Party wing of the +GOP. Let's be clear on that. I'm sure that many of you, like myself, know people who are registered Republicans and are not these unreasonable types as the faction mentioned above. I can say this off-hand, as I'm related to one (one who happens to be a fiscal conservative).

Now with that settled, here's what's going on. Apparently there's been a large amount of trolling on both +Twitter and +Instagram aimed towards Robin Williams' daughter. Again much of what it had to do with is Robin's activism in liberal politics. However, a lot of it got downright personal to the point of Zelda largely leaving her accounts dormant. Additionally, there's been talk of Robin Williams taking his own life due to the liberalism on display by none other than +Barack Obama. That's about as bogus as ever.

However, that's not the craziest among the stories. I've noticed that the case involving the death of Michael Brown, there's been a few rather crazy developments. First off, I've read on +Raw Story that the Ku Klux Klan has mounted a fundraising effort for the shooting officer's legal defense. Their claim is that they need to defend a hero who took out a "thug" (direct Klan quote of what they called Brown). This is an exact replay of what happened with Treyvon Martin back in 2012 or Oscar Wild in 2007. The fact still remains, racism is still abound in this country. More so than people could ever imagine. However there's a couple of other articles that I think people ought to read here. One article from DeadSpin shows that many still hold the view that America is a Whites only nation. Don't be so shocked by this, it's fairly common in many parts of America. There's another article from Gawker, which explains clearly that even though Brown was not armed when the police officer in question shot him, his situation is not unusual for young African-American men. Actually it's a tragic and all too familiar narrative, police come in and shoot young Black man. Senseless, and playing to the very reason why we need to do more to make society aware of the deadliness of White Supremacy, when combined with the declaration that we as Americans need to armed to the teeth. I'm sure about 1 thing, those 2 statements are bogus, plain and simple. It's just whack to think that if we could put Blacks in their place then there'd be less of them showing up dead in our news lines. Yeah, that's like racism 101 to believe that.
