Elon Blows Apart Liberal Myth on Ferguson, Makes It Even Better With Big Vow for Twitter

I wrote about how Elon Musk discovered “Stay Woke” t-shirts in a Twitter closet as he continues to sort out things at the headquarters. That says so much about the liberal nature of the platform before Musk.

Musk also noted that the shirts go back to the time of the shooting of Michael Brown and the protests/riots in Ferguson. He also linked to the report of the Obama DOJ, noting that the shooting was in self-defense.

That set off people on the left even more because they had to deal with the reality that their beliefs that they may have held about that shooting for years were fiction. That couldn’t be, so it had to be that Elon was a racist person from South Africa, even if the Obama DOJ agreed with him. You still had some in media like Gizmodo write purulent garbage. Even the tweet to their article had a potentially misleading picture.

How dare Musk post the truth! That fiend! The cop didn’t just claim it was in self-defense, the evidence and the investigations supported that it was. Gizmodo knows that, but they still want to pump the anger, rather than the truth.

But liberals don’t want the truth and that’s what Musk has truly been showing with his takeover of Twitter.

The riots were directed by the Demonrat Party.
This is political violence, like the destruction of the no abortion pregnancy shelters.
The left applauds no kill animal shelters, but can’t tolerate them for humans.

Part of me agrees with you, but there are few idiots who actually read and see the truth but still believe the lie.
THOSE people ARE idiots.

But the vast majority are just ignorant, apathetic fools who don’t really want to know the truth, believe the superficial crap passed on as TV news but are really far more interested in themselves and celebrities.

That’s why our country is in such a mess.

The smart ones are just evil.

What carries even more weight is that final issue came from Eric Holden himself. Now you know he did not do that lightly.

... The Freedom Road Socialist Organization (FRSO) based out of Minneapolis, an openly pro-CCP organization, and Bay Area-based Liberation Road, with very close ties to the Chinese consulate there and the Chinese Progressive Association (CPA), are behind the recent riots, Loudon said in a recent interview on Epoch Times’ Crossroads program.

Liberation Road
Liberation Road is “basically a Chinese directed movement,” Loudon said. It is a socialist organization, drawing from Marxist ideology, “with a clear focus on building the resistance to Trump,” its website said.

Liberation Road whose people “burnt Ferguson, Missouri to the ground in 2014,” split from FRSO several years ago over the issue of whether to work with the Democratic Party “and it is the parent body of Black Lives Matter [BLM],” Loudon said....

My Dad used to say:

You can believe only half of what you read in the paper.

And only half of that is true.

That’s why Elon is getting rid of them. The task is more reliant on server farms than squeezing clock cycles out of a cpu for real time controls and interrupts signalling catastrophic events. If a roll out of twitter crashes, reboot to the previous version. If a Falcon 9 Heavy crashes, it just cost the twitter server farms total value.
Elon said I’ll see your bullshit and show you the door.

Hey! Even the Rolling Stones played two chord songs (Disco).
Me, I’ve got a three chord minimum.
