      I hadn’t considered that. It really adds a whole other layer of incompetence. Reminds me of the four-seasons landscaping debacle.

      Twitter pays for engagement. And any extra expenses cuts into that.

      They’re not doing this because they actually care. They’re gaming the shitty system that musk set up.

        Goes both ways, unfortunately. I like George takei but I wish he’d just stop posting so many bland takes

      Why would they?

      Twitter only turned on the ability for the public to see this briefly before hiding it again. It’s not like people can normally tell and Twitter doesn’t care to stop it.

    Trumpers are anti-christian and pro-death by definition. You cannot be anything Jesus would approve if you support someone who tried to murder five children who were proven innocent and had zero regrets about it. Especially considering that doesn’t make his top ten of his crimes that are just common knowledge. Pretty sure Jesus wouldn’t be pro-child-rape.

        What I’m doing is pointing out that Christians rarely embody what they claim. Did you actually think I am unaware that they’re usually like that?

    Is this community going to be all mildly witty oneliners in response to celebrity tweets?

    No offense intended, I’m just trying to figure out if I want to filter it out or not

      I mean I haven’t seen a “DESTROYED BY FACTS AND LOGIC” post in a while, though I do agree that that is likely the premise of the whole sub.

      I’m not subscribed, but I see it from time to time and it’s nice little break from all the doom and gloom of actual headlines, so I welcome the occasional distraction

    Other nations want us to fail so bad. But I’m telling them right now, they don’t need to try so hard with these troll farms and bots. Conservatives and Neo-Liberals wouldn’t see reality regardless.

      They don’t want us to fail, but neoliberalism has made everything in the west for sale, so there is plenty of money to be made by exploiting overworked and undereducated Americans. The people running these accounts would be running shell games or investment schemes in different situation, but there is plenty more money to be made grifting Westerners than their local communities. The only agenda here is profit.

        They don’t? Neoliberal and conservatives are soar lossers they will never admit that our ways are flawed and were never going to be able to deliver the success they promised. So the plan is to sink the ship and blame everything on the people who they needed to sacrifice their dreams so very few could actually achieve their promises.

        Asia specifically is poised to take over as the global region of power if we fail.

          So you think that Bangladesh is coming to get us? Bangladesh isn’t even going to be a country in 50 years when sea levels rise and swallow up 3/4 of the country.

            No want my point. I’m just saying we refuse to do even the basics things to reverse the backside of our nation. Bangladesh troll farms don’t need to hype up the dumb ideological failings.
