Twitter’s official tweet about the Uganda election is unbelievable: American leftists, by systematically silencing any cultural and political opposition, have trained themselves into rare kind of stupidity

On Tuesday, Twitter left every sentient American wondering how a company so stupid could become so powerful. Twitter spent last year silencing anything that would help Trump, including accurate facts about Biden pimping out his debauched son to foreign countries for big bucks. It then inaugurated this year by booting the President of the United States off of Twitter, followed by silencing all of his supporters. But Twitter wasn’t done. Yesterday, in connection with the Uganda elections, Twitter issued a proud public policy statement about the absolute necessity of free speech on the internet, especially around elections.

If you’re thinking that what I just said is a joke from the inestimable Babylon Bee, it’s not. This is as real as can be:

For a little context, this started because Twitter and Facebook were doing in Uganda what they did in America: Using their immense power to put their jackboots on the scale to affect the election. Uganda, unlike the feckless Republicans, was not going to allow it:

Twitter, as you saw, struck back. Once you’re done laughing about the insane hypocrisy contained within those tweets, start thinking about the deeper implications of the above tweets. I’m not going to deny that Democrats are smart. They are.

Over the course of sixty years, accelerating in the last twenty years, and with warp speed in just the last four years, they have systematically moved themselves to the most powerful positions in every American institution, whether in politics, entertainment, education, the media, or the corporate world.

However, what we’re seeing on Twitter is a problem that sometimes happens to apex predators: They get soft. Having vanquished most of their competition, for the last twenty years, leftists have created a very peculiar intellectual world.

Liberals can never defend their policies globally. They only think local to their points of control and then get pissed off when they realize that some organization outside of their locus of control is able to counter them. Then they focus their wrath on those. They’re schizophrenic sociopaths.

America’s oligarchs and deep state survive on printed, fiat money and fake interest rates, all which allow massive debt, courtesy of the Federal Reserve. There will always be money for any social-engineering scheme, and its cronies.

Sorry to say it, but the American deep state and its oligarch friends will not collapse until the financial system collapses.

Uganda figured out that Twitter is very dangerous

This is going to spread to other countries

Last week I deactivated/deleted both my Farcebook and Twitter accounts.

I should have done that long ago.

[KarlInOhio]

Doublethink in action. 1984 was supposed to be a warning, not an instruction manual!

“... rare kind of stupidity...” And running rampant among the anti Americans infecting the North American continent. By the way, isn’t it time to cancel that nomenclature for something more inclusive? Don’t laugh. They ARE that fookin’ stoopid.

Too bad Idi isn’t around to eat the twitter executives...

Let's not forget that this was a project of the USSR Politburo. They infiltrated our institutions after WWII. One could argue that the Soviets were actively subverting our institutions before WWII--if I remember correctly, Walter Duranty was writing pro-USSR puff pieces for the NYT in the 1930s.

Like any exponential process, the subversion went for a long time before its effects became noticeable. By the time the USSR fell, it had subverted a sufficient number of Americans for the process to continue (also, the American fascists turned to China for support). We are now seeing what may be the culmination of decades of subversion.

They can say whatever they want, and no one in the MSM is going to call them on it.

[KDF48]

They can only dedend their foolishness here in the USA with unions, government syphons, pimps, pornographers and their ilk. Elite is not the right word for sewage.

Excellent article.

For the last twenty years, leftists have *created a very peculiar intellectual world*.

Not created only copied Rome.

It wouldnt be called irony if it wasnt ironic.

A large part of my family communication is there and all IO have been doing there for the last half decade is encourage my friends and have infiltrated the libs as a rabid advocate and lover of all things honey bee. These little bugs predate humans and libs dont know why but they luv ‘em and I fit in with the “save the planet” vibe perfectly.

Double edged sword cuts both ways.
