1. There are many things I’m glad to leave behind on X, but most of them come down to this: loyalism. Regardless of ideology, those who tend to be most abusive, unpleasant and vicious are staunch loyalists of particular figures, factions or policies. 🧵

(Spot on, I’m afraid.)
Sadly, loyalty and loyalism in this new autocratic context (on X and the gov’t) has become bastardized
to mean OBEDIENCE…
BLIND OBEDIENCE
not trust,
good faith,
fealty to values and duty
Nation states do things for all sorts of reasons, but mostly for self interest. The world isn’t black and white, and when people try to reduce it to such, well, they are morons.
Didn't you argued to stay some time back?
Or am I mistaken?
Still left in the end because off the support for afd and nigal farage.
Changing one's mind is what rational people do when they gather new evidence
For me the arguments seemed valid. They still do. However it has gone bad so fast.
It’s not shaming it’s re awakening the mind to the proper virtues and standards that God and Nature lays down !
The computer generated garbage was nearly as bad as some of the truly awful people on X who trolled their extreme, unthinking and unkind views
This is a moment when we need to be clear who out enemies are.
Maybe the “vitriol” of mindless supporters of the feckless capitulating Democratic Party Incorporated need to be cranked up a bit with at least SOME push back Instead of “Vote Manson b/c Dahmer will eat you when you are dead” BS.

So glad a person of your stature has pointed out that open-mindedness oxymoron.
The paradox of faction loyalty is it's a one-way street. Ask a football fan if the club they love rewards their loyalty with ludicrous ticket and replica shirt prices?
It's a sewer. You've escaped. Allow yourself to be happy here.
