Thanks for openly admitting that Musk is a right-wing puppet 😜

@Elessar But the pepole running Twitter before weren't "left-wing puppets"?

@DavidT8899 No. If you believe that a billion dollars worth for-profit company has anything to do with leftism, they've seriously done a good job rewiring you
DavidT8899 · 22-25, M
@Elessar Yes.Based on their behavior,it is glaringly obvious that it is run by nothing BUT leftists(who are the champions of most billion-dollar industries).Anyone who doesnt see it is in a serious state of denial.

@DavidT8899 Ara, leftism is against capitalism. How do you square so called leftist corporate leaders?
DavidT8899 · 22-25, M
@basilfawlty89 Easy.They are hypocrites.Just as they are fine with racism,suppression of free speech and hostility to law enforcement as long as it serves their purposes,the far left is the party of the super-rich as the majority of them are far-left.Its only the ones that arent (Elon Musk)who are considered a "threat to democracy ."

@DavidT8899 lol nonsense. I don't see any CEO or investor in "woke" companies calling for worker's ownership of the means of production or for nationalization of all industry.
It would be great if you learned what socialism is, before arguing against it.

@basilfawlty89 Well,perhaps you could call it "crony capitalism"-when it works for them.

@DavidT8899 no mate, they're capitalists. The system isn't broken, it's working fully as intended. There are no leftist CEOs and shareholders. What you lot call "leftists" are best centrists and would be described in most of the world as center-right.

@basilfawlty89 Leftists are NAZIS. They are about as centrist as Fidel Castro or Josef Stalin or Adolf Hitler.
basilfawlty89 · 36-40, M
@Reason10 lolno. Any political scientist will tell you that Nazis are extreme right. Nationalism, militarism, traditional values, etc. are cornerstones of fascism.
