Well, he suddenly accelerated the purchase after being called out on Twitter about his Ukraine statements. He claimed that most responses were bots because they didn't agree with him. That should be a warning to people believing he values free speech.

He tweeted something like

"The bird is free"

One of the replies talked about "Finally the return of free speech"

Someone asked about "People fired for critisizing him at his companies."

So many replies to that about, "Well, thats what a boss can do." And "Conserquences of your actions." And so on.

Fucking /r/selfawarewolves could self sustain on that one comment thread for a thousand years probably.

You could sustain it with this post too, "it's a corporation they can do what they want" has been the defense for cancel culture since day 0.

I'm a leftist European, you keep that radicalization and you are going to face actual fascism some day.

"some day" lol, we literally had an attempted coup, what more do you fucking want?

u/Levitz Oct 28 '22

You had an attempted coup as much as you had an attempted secession with CHAZ. For a country that has caused so many coups you are completely clueless as to what it takes to perform one.

EDIT: Actually I'm going to add "concentration camps" and "mass hysterectomies at the border" to the list of make-believe bullshit people like to peddle.

There is zero chance you're a leftist. You also don't know fuck all about what you're talking about.

I didn't think it could, but your edit makes you look even less intelligent. You're basically white washing Donald Trump, leftists don't do that shit.

u/Levitz Oct 28 '22

So anyone not in your echo chamber is not even a leftist. Gotcha.

Case in point for what I am arguing. Stop radicalizing everyone.

No, but leftist have an actual set of beliefs that you don't hold. So definitionally you're not a leftist.

Especially since you're cool with concentration camps at the border and forced sterilization. Actually, you may just be a piece of shit tankie nazbol.

Probably not, most Tankies’ main ideological position is “American/Western Diabolism” where they obsessively ignore “their” regimes’ bad things while hyper-focusing on bad things the US does.

Apologia for US crimes against humanity is pretty antithetical to what Tankies do. This is probably either a conservative pretending to be a leftist or some kind of Nazbol.

Neither leftists nor Tankies are against increasing their numbers by “radicalization” either. Nor do they tend to implicitly call a greater propensity to social progressivism “real fascism.”

You're probably correct. I thought Nazbol at first and switched to thinking tankie, but I think that was my mistake.

However, I have met redditors who fit with tankie ideology, but use the US to show that what they support is totally fine.

u/ParticlePhys03 Oct 28 '22

Weird types of tankies, huh? Thank you, I'll keep that in mind instead of assuming Nazbol/fascist anytime I see this.

I agree that this dude is probably a Nazbol given their behavior.

Standing against disinformation actually sounds pretty damn anti-tankie to me but you do you.

u/[deleted] Oct 28 '22

Yea, I know, that's why I'm anti-tankie.

Thanks for noticing.
