Well now they’re just mocking birds aren’t real

What, the handful of randoms on the left that hold zero power politically or socially? The couple of weirdo loners? Where’s the evidence?!

Let’s compare and contrast with the trump fueled “Jews will not replace us” white nationalist march in Charlottesville 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄 or how about the more recent nazi march in Springfield 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

Enlightened centrists are just right wing grifters out of touch with reality.

You’re arguing enlightened centrism, which is completely false.

The far right has a substantial amount of people who hate Jews.

The far left had a substantial amount of people who hate Israel and zionists.

They are not the same.

But you say the “far left” “hates” Jews.

The far left hates Israel. The far left hates zionists. The far left does not hate jews.

Meanwhile the far right are literally Nazis marching around with swastikas.

But yeah they’re totally the same 🙄 you’re really great at playing dumb.

The average Twitter user is a bot let’s be honest.

It’s about manufacturing consent, and to musk, it’s chump change. What you would spend on a pricey hobby is what he’s doing at his level.

Also not just an election but society itself.

Is holding israel accountable for its genocide “hatred of Jews”?

Seems like you were using antisemitism as shorthand for antizionism

Great number choice haha. The fascists love the number 88!

It really goes to show how fucking nuts these billionaires are. They could fucking relax for the rest of their lives in luxury but that’s not enough for them.

Money is just a symbol for power. There’s never enough for these ghouls.

Unless you’re referring to anti Zionist Jews. NO.

You know the Palestinians, who are currently being genocided with American weapons and money, are semites right?

Lemmy is definitely not an echo chamber. As a leftist there’s a ton of liberal simp vooooooote blue no matter who bullshit, followed by blaming everyone but their shitty ass candidate and even shittier ass party for the loss.

The right wing in contrast is in unison lining up to fellate trumps little mushroom.

He could do absolutely nothing but sit on the beach for the rest of his life and he’d be making more money off interest than we make in a lifetime

I don’t think it can be proven, just like bezos owning the Washington post can’t be proven to sway things.

A bunch of billionaires owning consolidated media, what could go wrong?!

Trust me. Whether we can prove it or not, the whole purpose of buying Twitter was to kneecap the “left” in organizing (sorry but most are actually liberals, especially the PMC echo chamber that was Twitter and is now becoming Bluesky), push nazi content, and sway the election. Supposedly he’s going after the UK election too but I’ll be honest I haven’t been paying attention to that. A whole bunch of major democracies had elections this year. He swayed the most important one.

No he hasn’t, shitter served its purpose, to sway an election.

The last time I used Twitter was when I had ubertwitter for blackberry.

At least before 1920 there was only a hundred drivers on the road in the whole country!

(Exaggeration but I hope you get the point haha)

I fucking hate the tablets!

I think it’s a huge factor in the increase in traffic deaths. That, inexperienced new / rusty drivers after covid, covid fucking with peoples brains, bigger heavier faster vehicles, increased day to day life stress.

But one doesn’t want all that torque when starting in snow. Too much and wheels spin out. Not enough and you lose traction and slide.

Idk I live where there’s snow on the ground six months out of the year and I like the finesse one gets by being able to let off the gas without braking. Braking can trigger a spin or loss of control in slick conditions.

Yeah they absolutely do not need to be making the decisions. Car designers should be designing cars not UI designers or software engineers.

Designs have been relatively standardized for decades for safety. every other car out there I haven’t needed to talk to the owner to find out how to drive it, I just drove it. But teslas I’ve had to ask…

That being said I once spent a solid 10 minutes inside an electric Porsche trying to figure out how to turn it on… the power button is to the left of the steering wheel in the strangest spot. Then there’s the newer cars with their weird toggles and what not but it doesn’t take too long to figure out how to shift.
