B-Man Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 (edited) Why they hate him. The left wants feudalism, and Elon’s giving them capitalism. Which is their worst nightmare because under capitalism, it is necessary to produce something of value. .

As a matter of fact, one of those families is building our new stadium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No? No. I have issues with ignorant freaks who purposely promote manipulated and fake news to brainwashed people who fail to realize they are nothing more than pawns who think they are winning by creating chaos that benefits BILLIONARIES... ala @Deranged Rhino clones @BillsFanNC; @Brueggs; etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone! Both ‘peasants’ and billionaires. That doesn’t make anyone either evil or a ‘freak’. It makes them human. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo_Stampede Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 (edited) What’s funny is I’ve been suspended on this board many times. I accepted it and moved on. There is literally no difference from Twitter banning or suspending people on their platform. Edited November 4, 2022 by Buffalo_Stampede Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your 1st amendment rights are not violated if Twitter censors or bans you. It's also not free speech and it absolutely is silencing They have been and are now currently free to ban, "fact check" and censor any speech they wish. Just own it and don't call yourself a free speech platform when you do. Censoring the Hunter Biden laptop story that was always real went beyond individual free speech into violating freedom of the press and election interference. I'll also add that they do get into violating the first amendment when they coordinate with the government to fact check and censor speech.

BillsFanNC Posted November 4, 2022 Author Share Posted November 4, 2022 "Content-moderated" You leftists can never own it. Censorship. Just say you like censoring people who don't share your worldview. I know, that would require honesty. Big ask. And who didn't see this coming? I can promise you Elon Musk did. Now he doesn't have to lay people off because they are political hack pro-censorship fascists. He can do it because advertisers, pro censorship fascists, cut his revenue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiGoose Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 One of the downsides of moving fast and breaking things is you might end up breaking the law… Twitter sued over short-notice layoffs as Elon Musk's takeover rocks company “"Twitter is now engaged in conducting mass layoffs without providing the required notice under the federal WARN Act," the lawsuit says, referring to the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act that requires 60-day notice for certain plant closings or mass layoffs.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
