Silicon Valley’s culture—hyperlibertarian
Libertarian? Uhhh not its not and it hasn't been for a long time. Its hyper woke. Libertarians would not censor and ban and deplatform and cancel with such glee the way Big Tech has. Really, the correct description would be Fascist since they're in bed with and doing the bidding of Government.
the Tesla and SpaceX CEO has purchased Twitter, summarily fired most of its workforce, and then driven it into the ground
No he didn't. He chitcanned a lot of pampered leftist twits who weren't doing anything productive and contrary to predictions of imminent doom from Leftists, Twitter has rolled along just fine without them. He's trying to monetize things and expand Twitter's array of offerings because.....get this.....Twitter was losing $4 million per day before he bought it. He's trying to turn the company around and make it actually profitable....and not just a tool of the government.
"We’ve reached a point of political division where it’s fine to root for members of another tribe losing their bank deposits—even though you would protect members of your own tribe in the same situation,”
Leftists happily cheer on the cold blooded murder of Trump supporters Ashley Babbit and Rosanne Boyland right on video for all to see with no punishment whatsoever for their murderers who were both cops....at a time when the Left had rioted for months over supposed police brutality. Leftists are more than happy to see their political opponents de-platformed, de-banked, thrown out of homes/apartments, fired from jobs, and more for the "crime" of having a different opinion. So now you're gonna express how shocked and horrified you are that a lot of us don't mind seeing you lose your bank deposits? Cry me a river. You started it.
Just to be absolutely clear—libertarians are fanatically opposed to censorship—by anybody and of anybody.
Anyone who claims to be “libertarian” that favors any kind of censorship, public or private, is a liar.
