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.

    This seems like pretty blatant deflection when you had multiple opportunities to find out your exact question by clicking one link or reading a little closer. Both things faster than making a comment.

    You assumed wrong twice, made an inciting comment, and now you’re upset about it. Interesting.

    Also why bring up whitepeopletwitter? This isn’t reddit…

      Next time you miss something that’s very easy to miss (and even admit it), I hope you meet someone that acts like you that mocks you repeatedly.
