I agree
It was suprising to me that the neo nazi rally was allowed to be honest. It was an irate German showing me the clip.

They still teach a 'lets not do that again' program in schools there! It was suprising. Possible it was some dodgy local Mayor or something permitting it. I never followed up on it tbh
There's armed police at every(?)/most(?) Synagogues countrywide there still to this day. With automatic weapons. Sadly.

That's 'sadly' that they are required, not the other one.
 
Tech bros made money within the establishment by being seen as "renegades" against it. They embedded themselves within the economy.

Establishment started to regulate, wants them to pay more taxes, give them less freedom to what they had before.

Tech bros now don't want that.

Tech bros decide to de-stable and change the establishment so they don't have to answer to what society or governments push on to them again.

Trump said they can suckle on his teet if they win him another election and he'll give them what they want.

They're all spoilt children who never liked being talked down to. They've now found an opportunity to get their own way again.

Honestly think it'll have a knock on effect in Europe and around the world and I hope governments don't bend over to them.
 
Either you're incredibly horny, a bit far right or you're not paying attention, but it's nothing like it was in the past.
My feed of the people I follow, which is a clear option, is just music, football, local stuff, TV shows, restaurants etc. never changed. That part can be tailored pretty well apart from the occasional ad.

Though that will be getting quieter and quieter.

I reckon mere weeks before public shaming for people even having an active account starts though, businesses first and when they've all.been shamed into leaving, emails to employers etc
 
The UK and Germany should ban X if he tries interfering in elections again. Brazil did for a month and fined Musk $5mil. It slapped him down a peg

Yeah, there should be people that say "No you're not doing that"

But that's where the money comes in to buy and bribe their way out.

Personally think the AI boom in dire need of regulation is one they're all not wanting to deal with, and what Trump will just let roam.

He's already done it with the world biggest ongoing scam that is Crypto.
 
I don't get why this site isn't banning twitter. "we get a lot of info from there". We can be 2 minutes late to the party ffs.
Follow that line and you might want to ban Instagram and facebook too - if the desire to sensor this worrying techbro grab, disinfo and right wing Trump support. Given that Sergey Brin has also done a 180 like the other broligrchs and joined them in the prime seats at Trumps inauguration we might need to add Youtube a Google to the list of suspects to be avoided. I do get your concerns but it is a wider problem than just Musk.
 
UK/European media need to all start openly calling this fascism out for what it is.


Free speech wins again..
That is an absolutely disgusting outcome.

“Don’t believe your eyes and ears”.

These people don’t want to represent you, they want to rule you.

When I went to NY in 2008 I had to fill in a questionnaire on the plane somewhere over Canada, where one of the questions was “are you a member of a Nazi organisation”?

I’m starting to wonder if that question was asked in a different context to how I interpreted it at the time.
 
These Big Tech leaders are open about the heavy influence of science fiction, video games, and speculative sci-fi literature, and how they see these as roadmaps for the future rather than cautionary tales. People should be concerned about their techno-utopian mind-set where tech progress is prioritised over human wellbeing, at the expense of addressing real world issues like inequality, environmental collapse, and systemic injustice. Musk’s Mars colonisation, Zuckerberg’s Metaverse, and Thiel’s libertarian ideals reflec t a tendency to pursue elite-driven visions that risk excluding or exploiting the broader population. What’s really concerning is that these techbros seem unaware that many of their inspirations, dystopias like Blade Runner, Elysium, or Gattaca - were clearly warnings, not aspirations.

This detachment from reality, combined with Big Tech’s unchecked power, it risks creating a world that mirrors the most troubling aspects of these stories: surveillance, authoritarian control, and deep social divides.

Who would have believed that we would get to a point that a Comic Book Guy type and his role play Dungeons and Dragons buddies would be true power brokers planning a dystopian future for the planet.
