Thank you for mansplaining key theoretical elements of my lived professional experience to me. However, you are making a category error.
 

You seem to be under the impression that Twitter is still primarily a business that exists to create an operating profit, and that by staying on the platform, politically active and news aware people who object to its takeover as a propaganda platform are making it more successful. Neither of those things are true. You also seem to be under the impression that leaving Twitter is working on some level as a political isolation strategy, and it’s not. It’s only isolating progressives. 

But also, fuck twitter.

On the one hand, I agree with Bozo's contention that you can't disengage on any battlefield.

But twitter seems like a real shitty battlefield.  And I can't help but wonder if just trashing the battlefield might be a better tactic.  One might think if most or all of the decent people leave, it becomes an overgrown Parler or Truth Social.  But I suppose that's hope in one hand shit in the other.

Are we talking about a massive scat attack like the battle of Eskimo Hut?

Trump. Congress. Politicians, all of it. They're all us. This is on us. You can call it as a species, or Americans as a country, but it's on us. This is who we have become. Pointing at Congress, Trump, the Supreme Court, it's all the same picture, and that picture is us. 

Really? It's "all us"? 

Seems like there is something utterly overlooked in your analysis.

Well I’m still on Twitter, so I’m not sure you are coming from a position of authority on this one.

The weirdest thing about this argument you guys are having is it's predicated on the assumption that Twitter is relevant to, well, anything, anymore.

Clearly you understood nothing about my post. 

I clearly understood your post. Apparently, more than you. 

Sure, you made some good points about the fat, lazy, idiocy of so many Americans. Good points.

But with glaring omissions.

--------- 

You said we "all" to blame for this mess.

Speak for yourself. I'm not to blame. Not at all. 

I am a newbie to this topic. I have been warning people for 40 years -- since Reagan and Falwell -- about the threat of Republicans + Radical Religion. And about the decline of intellectual standards across the board. 

I have published critiques of this regressive madness going back decades. Not hidden behind an avatar. But, in books and essays, with my name on it, in public. 

And, though published, the books and essays were ignored by liberals, libertarians, mainstream intelligentsia, etc. 

---------

If there is an "all of us" to blame, it is the Conservative Republicans who enabled this disaster from Day One with the blind worship of Reagan, the Bushes, and now Trump and letting religious fanatics take control of their party and now America.

Your post mentions nothing about this.

That's a pretty hypocritical statement considering the liberal echo chamber cloak room that you are posting in.

Okay, you've been gone for more than 24 hours after laying this egg and have posted elsewhere in the meantime.

You come in, drop a stupid-as-shit post, and then don't come back after receiving multiple replies. If you're going to call us of being hypocrites for living in an "echo chamber," then you've just contributed to it.

Probably without realizing it, you did the exact same thing other conservative [sic] posters do. You make a dumb/ill-informed/factually wrong comment (sometimes they just lie), get quickly corrected, and then don't return.

That is why the CR is mostly an echo chamber. You guys just wholly abandon the playing field in preference of that hole in the ground where you stick your head so you can pretend all is well, except for all those undesirable vermin poisoning the blood of our country.  

That's not just hypocrisy; that's cowardice.
