Were you fired from there? I really don't care. I'm just here trolling all these gobsmacked people who can't understand how we got to the point where we are doing fascism again.

Right. That's why I said, yup this is social media. People get the leadership they deserve.

Oh for just the last year? So you kept propping up not just after it was bought by a billionaire and a bunch of Saudis but also after they fired the moderation team and made verification something you paid for? Lol brilliant.

Really? Cause people generally don't like it when I point out their failures as people.

Thanks for propping it up long enough to make America great again!

I meant more the progressive supporters that want to cancel people for using the wrong pronouns or think that they can balance the scales of their wealth by donating money instead of not participating in the capitalism they pretend they are better than.

I just started using it so I could point out to people that they are dumb for a couple weeks. I'll be off it again soon and go back to none of this being my fault.

Democracy was a failed experiment anyway @exercisingfutility.bsky.social · 07/11/2024

To tell people I am better than them for a couple of weeks before I delete it. Because I don't use social media because it poisons minds and democracies. Because I am better than most people and none of this is my fault.

Democracy was a failed experiment anyway @exercisingfutility.bsky.social · 07/11/2024

Well again, I was speaking more broadly about how social media works. Pointing out that people are fools if they think they are going to use the tools of the billionaires agaisnt them. I deleted Twitter years ago. I came here to point out incontinent truths after the election for fun.

Democracy was a failed experiment anyway @exercisingfutility.bsky.social · 07/11/2024

I have a good time. But I'm usually not hanging out with the retail therapy or social media crowd.

Democracy was a failed experiment anyway @exercisingfutility.bsky.social · 07/11/2024

It sounds like you are good enough for some people. That's pretty cool.

Democracy was a failed experiment anyway @exercisingfutility.bsky.social · 07/11/2024

And it's created a generation of people with self-esteem and attention span issues. It makes people into products. Your data is then sold to the corporate overlords and used to sell you shit you don't need.

It's Boromeir thinking he can wield the ring against the forces of darkness. It is the darkness. Social media is fucking brain poison but you won't be able to convince people of that on social media. Cause they are addicts. Addicts only care about a fix.

Democracy was a failed experiment anyway @exercisingfutility.bsky.social · 07/11/2024

So that's when people should have left. Or after they fired the moderation teams. Or removed the verification system. But people didn't. They argued with Russian bots and gave the site legitimacy. Now they are here looking for a new bed to shit in.

Democracy was a failed experiment anyway @exercisingfutility.bsky.social · 07/11/2024

Well I'm blocked from the original post but if I remember correctly it was something about "seizing power" by trying to create viral content on social media. I pointed out that it is folly to try to use the tools of the billionaire class against them. Then I got blocked and you started arguing.

100

Democracy was a failed experiment anyway @exercisingfutility.bsky.social · 07/11/2024

Well, if your frivolous refuge involves spending time and money on things that support large corporations or the billionaire class, then yeah, you are the cause of your own misery.

000

Democracy was a failed experiment anyway @exercisingfutility.bsky.social · 07/11/2024

A tech billionaire bought Twitter along with investors that are foreign adversaries. That's siezing power. The power of rightwing media comes from billions of dollars in dark money that prop up platforms and influencers. Plz explain what I am missing.

Democracy was a failed experiment anyway @exercisingfutility.bsky.social · 07/11/2024

So engaging with Russian bots on Twitter is a winning strategy? Sharing memes over social media isn't "seizing power."

100

Democracy was a failed experiment anyway @exercisingfutility.bsky.social · 07/11/2024

Except that the cost of engaging in many of those acts of frivolity is why people are so despondent they need a refuge...

000

Democracy was a failed experiment anyway @exercisingfutility.bsky.social · 07/11/2024

This whole site is just people who don't like the bed they made on other platforms and won't sleep in it, swifties desperate for a safe place to engage in hero worship of celebrity, and vaugly sexual drawings of anime and furries. And the occasional cat pic. Yup, this is social media.

Democracy was a failed experiment anyway @exercisingfutility.bsky.social · 07/11/2024

Yes!!! All this place is lacking is blind hero worship of celebrities!!!

Again, I was blocked from the post. I don't know what vile language you are referring to.

How come Biden expanded the tariffs from trumps first term instead of removing them?

Democracy was a failed experiment anyway @exercisingfutility.bsky.social · 07/11/2024

Am I the MAGA you are referring to? Cause that's hilarious. And are you in the habit of blocking opposing viewpoints? Real progressive.

Democracy was a failed experiment anyway @exercisingfutility.bsky.social · 07/11/2024

I can't see what you are referring to, I was blocked from whatever this post is.

This is toxic positivity. If something isn't good enough, don't accept it. We teach people how to treat us.

000

Democracy was a failed experiment anyway @exercisingfutility.bsky.social · 07/11/2024

So you don't like the bed you made over there and want to come sleep here?

000

Democracy was a failed experiment anyway @exercisingfutility.bsky.social · 07/11/2024

So you don't have a problem supporting billionaires, do you just not like "the vibe" anymore? Lmfao

000

Democracy was a failed experiment anyway @exercisingfutility.bsky.social · 07/11/2024

Or what? You gonna call me a silly name and then continue to pretend you aren't part of the problems you don't like?

000

Democracy was a failed experiment anyway @exercisingfutility.bsky.social · 07/11/2024

Lol it's so cute how you made silly names for them! A little less cute that you wait until after it would make any difference for you to leave them. Where was this conviction when musk bought Twitter or Zuck had to rebrand?

Democracy was a failed experiment anyway @exercisingfutility.bsky.social · 07/11/2024

Now that you all have propped up twitter long enough to make America great again! Thanks!

000

Democracy was a failed experiment anyway @exercisingfutility.bsky.social · 07/11/2024

Maybe the path forward is not letting the DNC force another establishment democrat on us. Blame the poor and stupid all you want, but the "smart people" shouldn't expect "vote for me or else" to work every time.

Maybe the "dumb fucks" are the people that spend all their time on social media dehumanizing people instead of trying to see them as humans and understand why they make the choices they do.

Democracy was a failed experiment anyway @exercisingfutility.bsky.social · 07/11/2024

Lol the same thing they do every time a republican gets elected. Nothing. They will wait til things get bad enough to vote for change again. The Democratic Party exists only to keep power for itself. Not to fix anything.

000

Democracy was a failed experiment anyway @exercisingfutility.bsky.social · 07/11/2024

It really doesn't matter. This was inevitable. The Democratic Party was always going to run an establishment Democrat. People want change.

Democracy was a failed experiment anyway @exercisingfutility.bsky.social · 07/11/2024

Yeah! I really can't stand people's negativity when I'm trying to idolize some privileged rich girl.

Democracy was a failed experiment anyway @exercisingfutility.bsky.social · 07/11/2024

Who could have seen this coming?!??! I mean, when she did primary in 2020 she did horribly but whatever.

The foxes will be guarding the hen house and our economy will be plundered... again...

Democracy was a failed experiment anyway @exercisingfutility.bsky.social · 07/11/2024

They want better choices in leadership. If we had an actual primary and a candidate said that record corporate profits and record inflation together are not a coincidence, and that we shouldn't give Isreal bombs to murder children, they would have won.

000

Democracy was a failed experiment anyway @exercisingfutility.bsky.social · 07/11/2024

Right. And this is what that costs. There are consequences to your convenience and entertainment.

000

Democracy was a failed experiment anyway @exercisingfutility.bsky.social · 07/11/2024

Yeah, cause that is totally the through-line of reasoning that people are using and your reduction of my argument is totally valid. Go fuck yourself.

000

Democracy was a failed experiment anyway @exercisingfutility.bsky.social · 07/11/2024

I mean, you're not wrong. It should be about taxing the rich, breaking up monopolies, getting corporations out of our democracy. But it seems more about who can virtue signal the hardest without having to sacrifice anything.

100

Democracy was a failed experiment anyway @exercisingfutility.bsky.social · 07/11/2024

Thanks to millions of dollars of right-wing dark money. There is no equivalent on the left and that's what it would take to even try. How about people get the fuck off of social media because it is brain poison?

210

Democracy was a failed experiment anyway @exercisingfutility.bsky.social · 07/11/2024

So you want to use the platforms of the billionaire class to align people agaisnt the billionaire class. Got it. This should totally work.

Democracy was a failed experiment anyway @exercisingfutility.bsky.social · 07/11/2024

They "chose hope" or elected to pursue the only voting recourse they had against fascism?

020

Democracy was a failed experiment anyway @exercisingfutility.bsky.social · 07/11/2024

Awful people? They are just people. Dumb, self-interested, and short sighted. Maybe if the government would do something about the corporate oligarchy and people could afford groceries, they wouldn't vote for the fascist.

000

Democracy was a failed experiment anyway @exercisingfutility.bsky.social · 07/11/2024

Yeah, I don't really use social media because it is brain poison and a big reason why the current situation is what it is. But I had to go somewhere and hold up a mirror to all the sad people wondering how this happened.

000

Democracy was a failed experiment anyway @exercisingfutility.bsky.social · 07/11/2024

I'm not angry, I'm dead inside. I've been watching this slow moving car wreck for years. And now all these people that just wanted to fuck around get to find out. I'm here for it.
