Cradle of civilization is in the Middle East?

I think you mean Africa, as that's where human beings originated.

Thanks.

I read a truncated version of that excerpt in the Twitter thread. It ended at “political narrative through lawsuits”. The addition of BS legal theory is what gives this quote the chef’s kiss!

So my theory about Musk's terrible Twitter...

Everyone’s on about how this takeover is a master lesson in how to kill a business, meaning he’s a shitty business man. But I’m beginning to think this is all working as planned. He bought Twitter to break it; trolling cranked up to eleven. Everything he’s done has been with the express intent to disrupt the left organizing and legit media outlets having voice. Now he’s looking at declaring bankruptcy? He bought it to troll, and he also bought it as a loss leader to write off on his taxes.

Red states get a LOT more federal money than

blue states well beyond disaster recovery. Or maybe better stated, they spend more federal funds than they put into the federal coffers. Infrastructure, manufacturing, Medicaid/Medicare, unemployment, and welfare… they disproportionately use federal monies.

It's never been "white anxiety".

It's racism and resentment from the descendants of enslavers and wanna-be enslavers. This is the resurrection of the Confederacy. "White anxiety" is the kinder, gentler way to say "racist," and as such, panders to racism by trying to code it.

He'd lose so little support at this point.

Might even get bigger crowds again. I think he’ll have his rabid following beyond death at this point. They’ll feel emboldened by his. I’ve studied propaganda and have been watching the rise of American fascism for decades. The only thing that keeps me sane is knowing they are GREATLY outnumbered. The extreme right is consistently about 33% of the population. And he’s already lost much of the party, the Lincoln Project wing and such.

Fuck yeah, I'm with you, Sister!

MSM have nothing to do but manufacture drama for the ratings. 51% of the population has lost our right to bodily autonomy, and we know full-well where that leads, if for no other reason than the popularity of Hulu’s The Handmaid’s Tale. We are NOT fucking going back!

Y'all know this is an antisemitic dog-whistle, right?

It's not QAnon, it's David Duke & the KKK. The so-called "master race" is lying about blood libel again. (Source: US Holocaust Memorial Museum)
