why did #musk buy #twitter instead of use that money for robotics/ space exploration?

the answer lies in knowing the nature of the edgelord manchild:

why feed your ego with admiration from afar

when you can reach into the social sphere, warp it and control it, and command fealty and worship directly

#plutocracy #autocracy #fascism

Once upon a time, #socialmedia was mostly stupid (it still is), and mostly harmless

Then the #ArabSpring happened

#Autocracy around the world leaped to attention

13 years later, they have figured out how to coopt it with #troll farms and #plutocracy, #corruption

And now they wield it against #democracy instead

Those of us like me who grew up in the #NewYork area knew #Trump was a fucking sleazebag in the 1980s

But the #justice system let him slide time and again, eyes glazed over

#Punitive force feeds the #crime you intend to stop- for low grade #crimes by the #poor (that #bigotry always demands heavy #punishment for)

But #narcissism #amorality #plutocracy, plotting great #malice, persistently: utterly different

They are always obvious as hell for years, decades

They can be stopped early

Must be
