If the Twitter/X thing teaches you one thing, let it be this: Twitter was a neoliberal place. Then Elon Musk made it into X, a fascist place. Once again, neoliberalism laid the foundations of fascism. But that’s not the (whole) lesson… Neoliberal folks are still using X, calling it Twitter to make themselves feel better, and pining for the good old days. And there’s the real lesson: When neoliberalism turns into fascism, neoliberals will adapt to life under fascism. Right, class dismissed.
(We really need a better way to crosspost from mastodon…)
It’s absolutely fair to call it a neoliberal place because the first thing they do when you join is subscribe you to a bunch of war criminals.
Also FYI those “socialists” you’re talking about are all neoliberal/cryptofash who side with a guy who was just outed as a pedo. Just saying.
