TRIGGERED: The Atlantic Cries Elon Musk Turned Twitter Into ‘Right-Wing, Alt-Tech’ Platform
NewsBusters ^ | 5/25/2023 | Joseph Vazquez

Apparently attempting to promote free speech on a Big Tech platform is now “right wing.” At least, that’s what The Atlantic is suggesting in its latest conniption over Twitter 2.0 under owner Elon Musk.

Atlantic Staff Writer Charlie Warzel bemoaned in his whiny May 23 piece how “Twitter has evolved into a platform that is indistinguishable from the wastelands of alternative social-media sites such as Truth Social and Parler. It is now a right-wing social network.” Warzel — apparently disturbed that Twitter 2.0 isn’t the Orwellian censorship cesspool it once was — laced his headline with nutty agitprop: “Twitter Is a Far-Right Social Network.” In Warzel’s view, “It can no longer be denied.” Apparently more people being allowed to speak freely is the bogeyman The Atlantic sees in its nightmares. The Atlantic’s tweet of Warzel’s story tried to smear Musk’s Twitter as a “right-wing, alt-tech” platform.

Warzel doubled down on his December 2022 assertion that Musk was some kind of a “far right activist” simply because he decried the “woke mind virus” and allowed conservatives more ground to express opinions on hot button issues.

In the left’s eyes, Twitter was perfect when it censored and banned political opponents or those with views differing from the Politburo.

I guess one can not be a little bit right, only “far right”.
Well I say it isn’t right and left, but right and wrong.
The left is wrong.
Also evil.

If the Nationalist Socialist German Workingmen’s Party was considered “right-wing” as some insist, then there might be nothing that can be considered a “little bit right-wing”.

Nazis are “right-wing” only in relation to the “pure” socialism of Soviet Communism.

Command-and-control regimes all have a lot more in common than whatever cosmetic differences may show up.

Let em cry- we don’t care. Th3y monopolize everything else practically, and if they can’t handle one major social media site being mostly co setvative, then they can take a flying leap. The sissies want no opposing viewpoints anywhere because they can’t defend their asinine liberal ideology when co fronted with facts.

They are now trying to cry-bully Twitter out of existence... it’s not gonna happen and the right are loving every minute of the lefts chi.dish antics

Yep … a place the Atlantics of the world could say what they like and if challenged have FBI via Twitter remove one side of the debate.

Accept the term, especially from commie trash. “RIGHT”, yeah, right there in the word. Right.

As in, not corrupt, not damaging, etc.

When the Devil insults you, embrace the label. If the Devil hates you, you are doing GOOD.
