This kind of news is starting to really remind me of trump circa 2017. Every headline is like: Trumps dumb decision is ruining the country. But guess what, nothing happened after 4 years of it. Country is still going, so shall twitter. Honestly, really wonder if these types of stories are even remotely true, or just something to placate us.

Yeah I feel the same. It felt like some kind of disaster was imminent, but the longer Twitter continues to function the more it all seems like bullshit.

America is a 300 year old covenant between the bourgeoisie and the devil. Its decaying liberal institutions aren’t structural, and it stands as long as the blood keeps flowing. Twitter is a single 16 year old company that is now privately held. Computing technology allows some jobs to be automated to a degree, but there is a level of mismanagement and dysfunction that is unsustainable, and Musk, armed with the Californian Ideology of “disruption,” is insistent on overriding every failsafe in place. Dotcom companies love to go out of business. It’s their favorite thing to do. IBM is still around because it’s fundamentally a different type of tech firm. These elaborate ponzi schemes that produce nothing but lines of useless code are designed to fall apart onces the flesh has been scraped from the carcass. None of them will be around in 50 years, and they’ll have been replaced by something much worse.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
