True true.

But Twitter is hardly the 2nd largest in the world, that’s a Western view of the ‘World’. Not saying the other big ones are any good either!

We need a decentralized social media platform, they do exist, but the UX and reach is horrendous at this point.

TS, even good, is entirely at the whims of any Government controlled entity.

The algorithm is important. Entirely proprietary.

Imagine if the Facebook algorithm was leaked, what a massive story that would be… and Meta will bomb another 50%. I wish Meta is wiped from the face of this earth, it adds no value to society.

You are the Product.

On the scale and performance side that’s not necessarily true. The big cloud companies have incredible scale, data centers everywhere.

There are a number of pedes here who have deep knowledge on stuff like this, can’t recall their usernames. but from what I do know, the scale part is there, it’s not on the Gov side.

But, a lot of folks don’t realize that the actual physical backbone of this magical thing we call the internet is entirely controlled (and regulated) by Big Gov.

StarLink is very dangerous to that monopoly.

There are a bunch of pedes here that are quite zealous on the idea DWAC should buy Twitter when/if the stock price collapses. My view is entirely the opposite, DWAC should not even touch that company, in any shape of form.

I have a suspicion that the Russian military personally are probably the most hardened in the world right now (maybe Chinese as well).

The US military, generally, has decayed or grown weak by ‘corporate culture’, politics, leftist agenda.

Rome was the military super power. Discipline, virtue, merit, succession planning, … but over time, when the political class grew weak, at some point so did the military. When the men in the Military go weak, that’s a sign the empire is losing the Culture War.

It’s the nature of the financial markets. All these companies trade at a multiplier from what they’re actual revenue or earnings are - which is indicative on how ‘healthy’ the company is.

For the longest time, Amazon kept losing a shit tonne of money because their operating expenses were so high (they kept reinvesting into infrastructure, etc). Now Amazon basically controls the eCommerce sector and Cloud services.

The stock market is entirely all speculation. You’re not really a shareholder UNLESS you purchase your shares via DSPP (basically directly from the company). If you use a Broker, you really don’t own these shares. It’s like storing Gold in someone else’s vault.

It’s actually quite fake if you look into it, but only because it’s not a free market economy. The Gov printing money IS the root of all these issues.

Obviously something more is afoot here - yes Trump has been de-platformed, but one can argue that was always the plan to begin with. Optics is important after all, Trump needed to be completely out of the picture.

However, there are many others, who are STILL on Twitter, and I’m just flabbergasted on how they have yet to be kicked off the platform… yet.

So true, the ‘plan’ is in affect and some, maybe all of us here may not see the end.

But I think we look at these things too externally. What matters is the time we have on this earth. What are we doing with our own time?

Even if this country turns around, it will not last, this same shit will happen.. again. It’s a constant fight to stop evil from decaying the world.

This being Easter, a good reflection. The cabal of the time crucified Jesus, even He decided against using the ‘fix it all up’ button, but his presence and story echoes throughout time and eternity.

I mean, if you really stop to think about it, a bunch of anons who identify themselves as pedes, slinging memes, discussing the Great Awakening, and trolling each other for fun… on the internet. Strange world! 😉

Some people are just stupid or ignorant.

Benefit of the doubt is great, but when you’re a talk show host, that mingles with the elite and your focus is on societal issues, you just have to know this stuff.

And she’s not a biologist, so hell for all I know Joy could be a man?

‘Getting Covid’ is now a PR maneuver for the elites/celebrities. It really is a way to gather empathy points from the public.

It’s a pessimistic view I admit, but these are the types of moves politicians (or celebs/elites) do to harness (harvest) points from the ‘weak’ minded or easily swayed good folk. It’s a calculated move, and it’s sickening . No pun! Lol

Imagine if everyone published how they got the ‘seasonal Flu’ every single time.

This is clown world damnit, clown world. 🤡🌎

Reminds me of this:

Hard times create strong men, strong men create good times, good times create weak men, and weak men create hard times.

Given enough time, every institution/country/families even, will succumb to this. It’s the rise and fall of empires. Disney is an empire at the stage of decay.

They need to do a better job with their filters, I’m still getting spammed… and it’s not decreasing lol.

This is the dilemma, there are many that say Twitter should be deemed a ‘utility’, affectively making it Gov controlled (which really is no different than it is today!).

Section 230 folks, that’s where all the shit goes.

Twitter does make money/revenue, the problem is their operating costs are highly suspect especially for a service running at this massive scale. No way can their revenue offset their reported numbers. It’s definitely subsidized somewhere along the line.

Disney has been a major player in our Copyright laws, I’d say it has been for the worse e.g. there is no such thing as public domain on Disney stuff. It will be protected for perpetuity.

Definitely a tool in the culture war, but that’s like saying the Universities are essential for education.

Well that is true, but unfortunately the corporate culture is built on top of this shitty culture, it’ll have to be completely revamped (employees, infrastructure, etc), hence why it’s better to take it private imo.

I would agree with this. My point is we don’t need to have DWAC buy Twitter for this to happen (let alone that Twitter runs on the services that could easily take it offline / censored).

There is a fascination with DWAC it seems.

Nah, no reason for DWAC to invest in that shitty company.

Petro-Dollar system, this is all you need to understand to fully realize why the American Empire goes to war all the time. All wars are economic wars.

Everything else is a smokescreen to keep up the ruse of the global reserve currency. When an empire controls the medium of exchange across the globe, and enforces it, your little country is basically a serf.

Modern feudalism.
