The Shifting Sands of Social Media

 



Friends, I bade the Twitter-verse a not-so-fond "Adieu!" back in January 2021, when the platform booted our sitting president for no better reason than that he announced he wasn't attending Joe Biden's (tainted) inauguration.  In the past few days, we've seen some fascinating examples of Twitter's erstwhile leftist bias, which, under Elon Musk's stewardship, may now be behind us.  Twitter isn't perfect in the new scheme of things, largely because it's a creature of Musk, and Musk is far from perfect himself.  Be that as it may, Twitter is taking up the mantle of free speech and basic fairness, not to mention pluralism, which the Left used to consider a virtue and now considers an existential threat.  They are right to do so!!!  The Left's primacy is undergirded by its (practiced) ability to cajole and manipulate the rest of us into silence.  Musk is to be commended for his efforts on behalf of democracy and liberty, therefore.  The fact that leftists are trying to obliterate Twitter and consign it to the dustbin of the internet is no accident.  It's all part of their totalitarian scheme to bury any and all ideologies and value systems other than their own.  We can't let them win!  That's why I'm back on Twitter, as of today.  I doubt I'll be terribly active, since I never cared much for tweeting in the first place, but I'm back in the game, nonetheless.  I encourage you to sign up for Twitter as well, in order to do your part to keep virtual liberty alive -- in an age when in-person liberty is hanging on by a thread.  In short, I wish Musk well, and in my own small way I'll do what I can to make the new-and-improved Twitter a success.  It would not be an exaggeration (believe it or not) to suggest that the future of mankind may rest on whether Musk surmounts this challenge, which, in its own way, is far more formidable than, say, going to Mars.  Musk will need the help of his friends along the way.  He can count on me!

Dr.Waddy from Jack: I'm glad that you, the Sage of WaddyisRight, will be holding forth on yet another national forum(and its looking like we can call Twitter a forum again).Its no exaggeration to say that to free this country of the marxist curse will be harder than getting to Mars: no, not at all. And unlike going to Mars, defeating the totalitarians is of essential, existential vitality for the real America.

  4. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to one and all!

    Oh, taking a stroll on Mars, implanting microchips in human brains, and building an electric car that's affordable and practical -- these are all pieces of cake compared to the herculean task of defeating wokeism and leftist cancel culture. I'll hazard a guess: Musk may make it before long to some celestial body. He may also be strongly encouraged to stay there!

  5. Dr.Waddy from Jack: Well, leftist hatred for Musk may well be proof of their deep fear of him.

  6. Oh, for sure! Musk is in a uniquely strong position to threaten the Left. And that's not just because he's rich. It's also because he's a former leftist himself.

  7. Dr.Waddy from Jack: Nuthin like an apostate to unleash the worst of leftist vindictiveness. He knows them and they hate and dread him for it.
