In elementary school, a new teacher entered the classroom, "cool" and "funny." Will there be longer ones? ", He asked. And really, that valued, cool and funny educator was not frightened by the question and hurried to throw the student out. Teacher, "But is it?
It was already excessive, "and threw him out of class as well. We did not ask any more difficult questions.
Eccentric billionaire Elon Musk has just finished getting annoyed by the Twitter network that threatened him with fines, sanctions and face bends after a slew of aggressive tweets - and simply bought it out of his own pocket money ($ 44 billion, 5% of his total revenue).
In practice, this is good news for all Twitter users: an elitist and opinion-setting network - but one that has been bleeding money for years - has reached a stable homeowner.
However, the lamentations and cries echoed across the left on Twitter could also be heard from one of the spacecraft that Musk sent out into the atmosphere.
The excuses?
Bad, as usual.
On one foot: he is too rich, he is too eccentric, he is addicted to attention, he has too much power in his hand, and a host of other blatantly irrelevant explanations.
But the real reason, as everyone who has been around Twitter a bit in the last decade knows, is deep and yet simpler: Musk has declared all along that the purpose of the purchase is one, and only one - to promote maximum freedom of expression for all.
On paper, this is great news for anyone who defines himself as a liberal who loves freedom.
But just on paper: Twitter has been used in recent years as the biggest propaganda and gossip tool that the progressive left and the "woke" movement have.
Through it "correct" language and jargon took root, and through it not only the people from the "wrong camp" were taken out of the camp but also people who dared to ask questions.
The climax came with the permanent removal of President Trump, not before his own, and in fact any news item that might support him indirectly or directly was starred.
Twitter shamelessly censored news reports of corruption in the Biden camp (which turned out to be true) and worked for the "right camp."
The official excuse?
"He's crazy," and later "his violent coup attempt in the Capitol," which over time turned out, as expected, to be a spin that included mostly edge-weirdos.
One does not have to be Einstein to know that if Trump had been elected and the oncoming cocoons were from the blue camp - the event would have been received with understanding, if not appreciation.
The real excuse is that the progressive left has realized, as usual, that the usual democratic game tools that include freedom of expression are simply losing, and there are no things that scare the progressive more than freedom of expression.
In one moment Musk took away from them the only effective tool left for them: silence.
And let there be no misunderstandings - countless antisemitic tweets and explicit calls for the murder of Jews and the erasure of Israel have so far been received with the understanding that "freedom of expression".
But this crazy Trump and all the negligible minority who do not despise him?
As the same elementary school teacher said, it's already exaggerated.
Excessive or not, now they will no longer be able to dump anyone in the class.
Were we wrong?
Fixed!
