Got the Tweet above from the Tweet below.
What struck me about the Tweet below is the headline.
I've been saying this for years now: that there's a group of people who believe the end justifies the means, no matter what those means are - and that seems to be the primary method the Left uses.
Fascinating exploration of how ‘effective altruism’ and utilitarianism laid the foundations for the FTX ponzi. If you convince yourself you’re working for the greater good, all means are justified.

Facebook/Meta has two HUGE problems: 1) No one under the age of 115 uses their platform 2) Even the geezers above bailed in big numbers due to censorship issues Couldn't happen to a nicer guy than MarkZ.

If anyone actually took the time to listen to this infomercial (and I say that because I hate when bad actors exaggerate their dialogue too much like this guy does) the most interesting thing to me about this video is that MARK ZUCKERBERG HIRED A PR COMPANY TO START A DISINFORMATION CAMPAIGN ABOUT TIK TOK, HIS COMPETITOR. The king of censorship, who censored the most important two topics of modern times due to "misinformation" and "disinformation" started his own multibillion dollar misinformation campaigns about a competitor. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy than MarkZ. You took the words out of my mouth, verbatim From what I heard, this guy is a nasty person through and through.

He started Facebook at Harvard as a way to mock college girls above his pay/status grade. He's a little weasel.

Only a sociopath wouldn't cringe at this reach.

I actually don't think what's going down at Twitter is nearly as bad as CNN and the rest of the left wing news say it is. They've made it their mission to discredit everything that opposes the Left narrative and that means throwing everything and the kitchen sink at it . I think the Right and Musk's supporters are enough to make Twitter work with the purpose he intends it to work as, and that is to keep public discourse balanced. In fact, I'd say it has to as otherwise the 'town hall' of the world crumbling will inevitably cripple the Right. I don't see this failing on the level that the doom and gloom news portrayes it to. In fact, it's just another well orchestrated smear campaign put on by the left, including Gates, Killary and others...something that has already been PROVEN to be happening.

Watch serpents and scorpions appear from the darkness to attack it with everything they've got. Now that I understand how the news works, all I get in my feeds are CNN headlines trying to take the legs out of Trump, talking about how useless Musk is and stuff like that. It's tiring for me because I can see how manufactured it is, but what's really sad, meaning it makes me genuinely sad, is that people lap up this chum happily.

Anything Trump gets high ratings, and this leads to abuse. That's the problem with profit-center, infotainment news.

Chasing profit can never equal quality news coverage.

I don't know a lot about this man, but I admire this man for sticking to what he believes in, in the face of fierce adversity and not taking the coward's road out of the spotlight.
I admire his will, his strength and his belief in himself.
And I pity the people who saw his choice as weakness and not the monumental, powerful decision that it was.
50 years ago, he'd have been a hero.
Today, he's the poster child for mob scorn.
So be it. 50 years from now, when the world sees a little more clearly again, he will be seen as a hero again.
Shame on the people who interchange their political (ie religious) beliefs for integrity and class. Shame on them all.
