Gordon Brown supporting Raith Rovers is more believable, because nobody would make up being a Raith fan

That was so weird. Didn't he say he liked to sing along to them in the shower? I just can't see him bopping to I Bet You Look Good On the Dance Floor

Like, who the gently caress changes their vote because someone likes the same music? Of course Gordon Brown doesn't listen to commentary pop music, he's been a politics nerd since he was a teen and was already in his mid-50s by the time he was PM

I don't know how there are people on twitter who can go about posting stuff normally and not be sucked into the loving echochamber shouting matches that surround every single post. Like, for me it's like sending information out via a messenger, when that messenger just has to run through an endless stream of loud, obnoxious and lovely opinions. It leaves me ragged and tired just going through one thread to see how poo poo people are let alone multiples.

Doesnt matter anyway, Rupert Murdoch will buy it off Elon's hands and run it into the ground for us

Kind of similar to how Facebook started off as something useful for uni students and now is the biggest turd on the internet.

Having read the SA Musk thread, I don't think this will happen.

Musk has gone all in on Twitter. Either due to a combination of wanting to prove that HE will be the one to turn it around (spoiler warning: He won't.)
Or, as is my personal theory, since the court ruling that he had to buy the platform even after making a stoned tweet, he wants to kill it out of spite.

On a similar bent, according to the opening monologue here the reason the ‘30s comparison is so outrageous is… the Tories are being far too soft on migrants compared to the Nazis…?

https://twitter.com/GBNEWS/status/1634679895916773376?s=20

(It’s remarkable too how similar this is to Sensible Liberal David Baddiel’s assertion that this is completely different because one is about an internal population vs external, and missing the point entirely)

On a side note: I’ve refused to engage with anything GB News related before, but got sucked in yesterday , and I must say I was taken about by just how outwardly fascist a lot of the content is. It’s genuinely shocking that this is on British TV every day, conducted by people that have been mainstays in popular culture for decades.

my only exposure to twitter is either this forum via twitter embeds, often with points the poster wants to make but doesn’t want to post themselves like it’s an appeal to authority thing, or on the bbc news, possibly repeating what some idiot MP mentioned in a speech at parliament

No you see these people actually are "external" to the natural and eternal unit of social organization, the nation. And therefore it's OK to treat them like dogshit.

Also the nazis only ever did anything bad to german jews because you see once they invaded places they became germany.

That any solution would be completely unworkable doesn't seem to register.

So far the best solution has been to create a completely secure communication device for the people that the gov wants to follow.
