Musk has sicced his followers on the WSJ writer who reported on a DOGE staffer’s racist online, history demanding her firing. This is a tactic Silicon Valley’s neoreactionaries have been advocating for years: Pick a reporter, dox and harrass, make an example of them, make everyone else afraid.

In my years of covering internet culture I’ve always tried to impress upon people that social media algorithms + audiences actively incentivize and reward behavior and people that are almost comically evil and stupid. Anyways now that culture is running the country

People have gotten so into Nate Silver James Carville bullshit about politics that every argument now has to be about what will win elections instead of what you actually believe and when you end up at that point you don’t really have any values at all

Genuinely what’s stopping tiktok from transferring users and data to a new website like “TokTik” or something and making Congress approve another law banning it and forcing it through the supreme court?

This very British type of complacency is infuriating and reminiscent of the useless Remain campaign in 2016, which failed to learn that the lying, manipulative hard Right doesn’t play by the same ethical rules as nice folk, has no sense of honourable conduct and sees fair play as weakness.

I think major media outlets are not freaking out enough over the richest man to ever live owning the United States government. I know it’s because their owners also want to own the government but that, to me, seems like a very bad omen

I don't think we're prepared for just how stupid things are about to get. The dumbest people on earth high on conspiracy theories will be making policy decisions like pandemic response based on disinformation from twitter.

It’s amazing how when situations get really bad (i.e. all the manufacturing jobs that made this country the #1 word power moving overseas), societies really just look for the most convenient group to hate (and then attempt to murder en masse)
