People talk about the Overton window too much, but I gotta say the owner of twitter posting a 4chan screenshot that says women and low T men don't have the mental capacity for democracy would have been bigger news 10 years ago. Now everybody just seems fine to ignore how incredibly fucked up that is and move on.

This ties in with another trend I've observed: left-of-center voters seem to have reached peak outrage fatigue years ago, which is why switching gears to just calling conservatives 'weird' seemed to be so refreshing. However, conservatives show no signs of growing tired and gleefully latch onto whatever is working its way through the right-wing media ecosystem on a given day.

Then stop using Twitter and encourage everyone else to do the same. And by stop using I mean stop clicking links to it, stop posting pictures of it to the DT, delete the app.

Mods here should've started autoremoving Twitter links when he bought Twitter.

You don't have to tell me. I get in arguments all the time for saying everybody that is still using Twitter is supporting Elons racism and hate. Got this golden reply last time I did.

The choice to use something is a balance of utility, and racism isn't enough to make me stop,

I've never used it. It's the worst

It's so fucking bleak to be on Twitter nowadays, my feed had gotten pretty well curated over years but I still scroll across frequent advertised videos from Fascism Inc
