Today, after seeing another bunch of Nazis gave 132K likes to a post from NickMercs telling Mr. Beast's recently-transitioned friend that she is "abandoning her family to play pretend," followed by the same Nazis going after Mr. Beast for trying to defend her, I have decided I am not even going to browse Twitter through a mirror anymore like I've been doing post-Elon takeover.

Since Trump announced his first presidential bid in 2015, I've stayed glued to this site, because I was always either trying to see the worst people of humanity get dunked on and ratioed for a burst of faith in humanity, or keep tabs on rising movements like the alt-right before they went mainstream. But as of late, as the discriminatory chud filth is becoming the bulk of tweets, I oddly no longer feel compelled to wade through them to gauge what future evil movements may spring up from Twitter.

It's because I see that the white supremacists, tech ancaps, and incels of all races who are thriving on the new Twitter will just keep brigading innocuous posts with shock value slurs and devouring deliberately-phrased clickbait, until they drive everyone half-sane out and get quarantined in a new porn, gore, spam, and virus-filled digital sewer. The new right-wing boosting X algorithm will usher these people into a complete untethering from reality, and embroil these chuds in intra-clique feuds until they either grow out of it, get swindled by one of the many scams now allowed to advertise there, or **** themselves. I firmly believe that Twitter will soon completely stop being where political and cultural winds are steered, and it's all thanks to Elon's stupid decisions.

After seeing the recent deliberate attempts by the Twitter groypers/incels to be inflammatory--by spamming slurs, or saying "based and chuds" to posts reporting hate crimes, or finding another unflattering image of some woman they saw in the media then adding the caption "they are doing this to demoralize you and destroy the west"--- I am confident that the right is devolving into a 'soy' movement with both eyes open the way 2012 college "SJWs" did, and that it will turn them into pariahs who tank their own popularity via infighting. Even this dumbass pickme bitch sees it:

I've recently seen Trads feud with tech libertarians, MMA chuds feud with Great Replacement chuds, groypers feud with old MAGAs (like the post-left and socdems feuded over the Squad), and TERFS and redpillers calling one other groomer enablers and transvestigating one another, and I feel at peace to fully check out and only check back in when it's all burned down.

The difference between all this new Twitter vitriol and the 2016 alt-right rise, is that these new reactionary panics have lore that is too obscure, far-fetched, and indigestible unless you spend long stretches of your life not interacting with real human beings, and is made by a scattered market of profit-driven grifters with no central messaging, coordination, or real-life social competence (unlike the Koch/Mercer/U-Line backed 2016 stuff). I mean look at this extremely normal reply to the above tweet, this shit is not going to travel among normies of any political affiliationm because it will not ring true to anybody who isn't a socially maladapted NEET:

Elon is already a dogshit manager who is in over his head, but this latest pathetic attempts to juice Twitter's declining revenue, like by paywalling streaming, and offering A1 conspirat*rds revenue sharing, are just more Jenga tiles removed from his "free speech" bastion, that bring it closer to its collapse as a political force.

Mr. Beast ... trying to defend her,

well damn even the worst people still sometimes do good

Yeah he's consistently stood by her while facing pressure daily to disavow and fire her

[-] Aradina@lemmy.ml 19 points 5 months ago

That's good of him, but isn't it absurd how low that bar is?

"He doesn't disavow a friend for being trans." should be like.. the obvious default

[-] AcidSmiley@hexbear.net 13 points 5 months ago

Yeah, it absolutely is absurd, but a ton of libs out there don't even clear that bar and will fold to transphobes as soon as they face backlash like that.
