If the Twitter/X thing teaches you one thing, let it be this: Twitter was a neoliberal place. Then Elon Musk made it into X, a fascist place. Once again, neoliberalism laid the foundations of fascism. But that’s not the (whole) lesson… Neoliberal folks are still using X, calling it Twitter to make themselves feel better, and pining for the good old days. And there’s the real lesson: When neoliberalism turns into fascism, neoliberals will adapt to life under fascism. Right, class dismissed.
(We really need a better way to crosspost from mastodon…)
… And? If they sell ads, does that make you a neoliberal?
The analogy falls apart here because socialist message were not censored on Twitter.
It’s hard to think that you’re being serious with this kind of reasoning.
You’re drawing some pretty spurious conclusions from what I’m saying.
They don’t have to censor every socialist message just the ones they think will undermine their position.
It’s not a great analogy to compare tweets to television in the first place but I’m still not sure of a few things:
Why bring up Jon Stewart and his political views?
Why do you think I’m assuming you meant all socialist messages were censored?
What kind of messages do you think were getting censored on Twitter?
How does posting pro-socialist sentiments on a neoliberal website make you a neoliberal?
