Step 1: Elon takes over Twitter, unbans and amplifies the worst white nationalist posters, methodically turns it into a right wing echo chamber.
Step 2: Users who aren’t white nationalists or MAGA extremists leave for Bluesky en masse.
Step 3: op-ed columnists fret, “is Bluesky an echo chamber?”

Gonna cross-post this here, as they get into the why conservatives keep trying to co-opt alternative/countercultural movements (like punk, goth, hip-hop, etc) and that they don’t “get it”…

can’t take 11 million people in, I expect 
won’t be keen either.
Edit: IIRC keeping people enslaved in the 
is legal, if they are prisoners.
I’m thinking the USD 9bn in services and USD 2bn in goods generated by slave labour in prisons is about to get a yuge boost.

He has a youtube show called the Young Turks and lately he’s been doing all sorts of shitty anti-trans stuff (among other things)… he’s part of the dirt bag left.
Jinx, @Catsidhe…

I tried watching the Young Turks a few years ago. I watched about 5 minutes and gave up.

When is he going to stop pretending to be progressive? He’s not left-wing now, if he ever was at all.

I gave TYT a chance years ago and never cared for them. One thing I remember from those early episodes was Cenk talking about how he used to be a conservative. I think he’s been pretending for a long time.
