Always, some have distaste for my scepticism of liberal democratic principles, like freedom of speech. It’s fine & necessary to throw these ideals in the faces of allegedly liberal democratic censors, but we must always recognise they are fantasy & dangerous political myth.

Westerners often delude themselves that they inhabit universalist post-political states which are uniquely free, open, and permissive, and which share power (or even derive power) from the governed. In reality, all regimes everywhere are basically limited oligarchies …

with a leadership class that governs in its own interest. These oligarchies allow or deny certain freedoms to the governed, insofar as these freedoms aren’t a threat to their rule. As soon as they become threatening, they’ll be withdrawn. The same is true in all regimes.

@elonmusk

one of the most important German Corona accounts, Prof. Freedom, has been banned after acquiring a blue check, apparently b/c Covidian hysterics reported him for impersonating a professor

„sign up for Twitter blue & get banned“: great advertisement @elonmusk

let’s be honest about the problems with big tech moderation: whatever the principles, it will always end up being an absurd monstrosity, because the only people on earth willing to sit at a computer and punish users with digital time-outs & bans are the biggest morons alive.

Musk’s takeover was never going to restore anything like ‚free speech‘, because content censorship flows from government regulators and advertisers - neither one of which Musk is interested in alienating.

somebody sent me a link to a 2011 episode of dragon’s den where the entrepreneurs are literally pitching eco-friendly living pods that will require 90% less energy or some shit

the pod he’s touching is sized for “a small family” …

but pod developments of this size proved prohibitively difficult at a logistic level, so he downized to a public toilet-size facility that is even cheaper to produce, consisting of a single room and one weird portal window.

brief glimpse of interior with weird ‘prisoner’ vibes.

look, this is a dumb take. anybody can get banned on social media. it takes zero talent and zero connections to make yourself a pariah and exclude yourself from polite society. you have to be braindead to think this means you are a ThREaT tO ThE SYsTEm. it means zero.

BAP has been banned multiple times, basically everyone in this sphere is on like their twelfth reincarnation, OK? it takes a lot of work and resilience to build a following and stay around.

I and others who have accounts that are more than five minutes old are constantly accused of being some kind of ghey jhooish federal informant for this very reason. actually these guys just work really hard to maintain an active presence on hostile platforms.

I’m not in any position to evaluate this analysis, but the explosives expert interviewed for this video, on the basis of the drone video of the destroyed nord stream pipelines, thinks the most likely method was mines placed on seabed, perhaps by submarine

For a length of about 50 metres, a massive explosion from above has apparently pressed the pipe into the seabed. Hard to do from a surface ship, as you couldn’t be certain about placement. Probably too much for divers to handle. A submarine or drone, I guess.

The Swedes appear to have removed all debris from the area around the explosion, and also to have sawed off the exploded ends of the pipe that remains, probably to identify the explosives used or, I would rather guess, to prevent anyone else from attempting such an identification

If I could make one dumb talking point on our side go away, it would be "they reclassified flu cases as covid"! This is a basically impossible zombie argument that just keeps recurring, and sidetracks basically any discussion you want to have about matters virological.

A lot of ppl are happy when I use PCR data to show that vaccines can't stop and may even enhance transmission. Use those same PCR data for anything else, and *the very same people* start complaining that PCR is totally unreliable and can't distinguish between colds and flus.

OK geniuses, then why you have no problem with everything I said before
Loads of people just want to be fed comforting anti-establishment talking points, and a lot of active commentators in this space turn out tides of indefensible garbage which everybody just believes.
