収束ゾーンでのライフ: Life in the Convergence Zone

This shit – this shit RIGHT HERE – is why I WILL NOT use Twitter and WILL NOT allow links to Twitter on discords I run – or anywhere else I control, for that matter:

On Thursday, Twitter was roiled by an organized pressure campaign by conservative pundits seeking to promote a 95-minute anti-transgender video called “What Is A Woman?” Musk, who has staked out views hostile to transgender advocates, initially responded in ways that seemed to satisfy no one before he eventually relented and agreed to promote the video… Musk himself tweeted out the film, adding, “Every parent should watch this.” The film was pinned to the top of Musk’s profile on Friday afternoon.

NBC News, “Musk’s response to an anti-trans video sparks 24 hours of chaos at Twitter,” 2 June 2023

I keep saying Twitter is now an alt-right/fascist disinformation and propaganda fountain, and documenting how continuing to use it supports Elon Musk in his attempts to push fash and alt-right and anti-LGBT propaganda. I keep saying this. And people I personally know keep using Twitter.

And today, Elon Musk, the owner of Twitter, personally recommended and promoted, on Twitter, a 95-minute long piece of anti-trans hate propaganda from an anti-LGBT hate group to tens of millions of people…

…to start PRIDE MONTH.

At time of writing, it’s pinned to the top of his profile. For me, that’s right now.

Is that rubbing it in your face hard enough yet?

If you’re still on Twitter, THAT is what you’re supporting. THAT is what you’re helping PAY FOR. And every one of you not a fascist? Every one of you who lying to yourself about “fighting back” in a bullshit game you cannot win because he controls the outcomes?

He’s laughing at every single one of you, as you help him bring in eyeballs and money, and as he works to make a lot of us die.

Do you get it now? Finally? Now that he’s personally using Twitter to personally throw not just his own but other people’s professionally produced hate propaganda into the faces of millions and millions of people? Do you get it?!

Are you finally fucking done with Twitter?

Or are you just going to throw back another fucking Chick-Fil-A sandwich and laugh along with the rest of the Nazis at the hate he’s strutting around with up on stage?

eta: Elon Musk – the richest man in the world – now says he is going to ACTIVELY WORK TO CRIMINALISE AND IMPRISON THERAPISTS HELPING TRANS CHILDREN.

If you choose to keep using Twitter after this, we are no longer friends.
