The conversation is pretty goofy. X is a GOP Super PAC run by the largest donor to the GOP ever, who not only is trying to dupe you but is probably using your data to help him dupe others so he never has to pay taxes and can fry Memphis with his dirty data.

It is now one of the biggest facts in the world that the richest man in the world is an overt white supremacist trying to bend politics worldwide in the direction of white supremacy. Twitter isn't the source of his wealth but it is his biggest megaphone.

A war on walking. A war on biking. A war on public transit. A war on better cities. But a war on cars? Hardly. The #UrbanTruth is that #CarDependency is still the norm in far too many cities, and the #RoadLobby will do everything they can to keep it going. Don’t buy the lie. #WarOnWalking
Picture of a luxury car parked mostly on the sidewalk with an elderly couple with mobility aids forced to walk around the car on the street into traffic. The text says “Don’t buy the lie that there’s a war on cars. They’ve been waging a war on walking for a century.” Via the Urban Truth Collective.

Over the last decade, there were two hypotheses: H1: the political right genuinely cared about threats to speech from the left. H2: they were using campus speech wars to impose their values and silence dissent. Today, the answer is clear, but I can't find any of the H1 people admitting their error.

Oligarchs. The word for very rich businesspeople directly connected to the top of the government and playing a role in high-level government functions is “oligarchs.” Way beyond lobbying, donating, and advisory councils. Trump brought them on his trip to China too. America has oligarchs now.
