based or cringe? One one hand human right activists in these countries are using Twitter to create awareness about the local isseus. On the other hand, CIA also uses it to manufacture consent to whatever plans they got
Twitter literally deleted a tweet from the country’s own president. The tweet wasn’t even that inflammatory.
literally so fucking what
he could have opened diplomatic channels, done literally anything other than this to counter that. what is wrong with people on this thread jesus fuck I swear half of you are 14 year olds edgelords with hammer and sickle avis who have never travelled outside the United States and think anything is based if it targets anything in the US without actually considering any broader repercussions for the global working class get a FUCKING grip
if you’ve ever travelled to an authoritarian country in the Global South you know they rarely if ever do things in the direct interests of their people. America has had a big hand in keeping it that way but shit like banning social media and putting up firewalls is completely aside from that
It was Twitter, an American company, that deleted the tweet. I would always side with some crap leader in another country over the US government’s designs. Deal with one’s own country first. I don’t entirely know about Nigeria-US relations but Nigeria is a part of China’s Belt and Road Initiative, so there’s always the potential for a US coup.
