All of this. Spotify is not merely hosting misinformation, but FUNDING it. That is why, as I’ve explained to many angry brogans, this boils down to the ethics of the company and what consumers want to put their money behind. Consumers do this ALL THE TIME. It’s not censorship.

Tech cos like Spotify who have coasted on “content-agnostic” philosophies for what they host are now all trying to become media cos, which means what consumers are paying for is no longer just the software, but the content, and consumers CARE about what content they’re funding.

If you’re going to start putting customers’ money into producing content, you are not allowed to be surprised when consumers have an opinion on that & express it with their wallets! It’s literally how this has ALWAYS WORKED but techbros aren’t used to that kind of accountability.

At one point on here I joked that the male version of “Karens” should be called “Rogans,” well anyway one hour ago I tweeted one reply critical of Rogan and his stans are literally asking to speak with my manager over it

Now we’re getting emails - again, from my ONE offhand tweet about Spotify/Rogan - from antivaxxers who have “done their own research” and decided to send us ALL of it, pages and pages of rambling “research” (although they have not done enough research on spell-checking)

The new thing the Rogans are doing is posting these two replies together on right-wing meme accounts as an example of my “hypocrisy.” My IG comments are flooded with trolls saying “gotcha cuck” and lmao IMAGINE how dense you have to be to think these are contradictory statements

New CDC guidance:

Really cool and fine that these posters are still relevant nearly two years after I first made them. Love how everything is going.

All of my "Modern War Effort" posters are available in a free hi-res download pack so you can print them, plaster them around, do whatever you want: dropbox.com/s/wx2vekoxvhl2…

Or you can get them on prints/tshirts/etc from my shop: robsheridan.threadless.com/collections/th…

Trying to imagine the chaotic hell it must be like inside the very broken mind of someone whose entire ideology depended on being furious at Big Bird today.

You see the tweet from the muppet & maybe, just for one brief fraction of a second, you think, "am I REALLY mad about this?" but you shake it off, because if you aren't, if Big Bird ISN'T a government propagandist, the whole house of BS you've built your personality on crumbles.

You've committed yourself to being a soldier of the dumbest bullshit imaginable, and by god if you don't get on the clown stage & perform some outrage at the big yellow children's bird today, then a glimmer of self-reflection might dare creep in and you'll realize how sad you are

I’m so fucking sick of this country being dragged into the dark ages at the whims of scared, gullible, stupid, racist white people.

Healthcare, climate, wages. Real shit we want to do for EVERYONE, and they don't care. But tell these dumb motherfuckers that little Cletus might hear about slavery in school and they're tripping over each other to elect any supervillain that comforts their white fragility.

These insipid fucking sludgebrained troglodytes think they're the big strong alpha fucking whatever while they're being so easily manipulated by their fears and insecurities. Koch Bros know they can make these babies cry on command with a racist "got your nose" trick. Exhausting.
