Elon Musk is proof that billionaires aren't geniuses and why they should be taxed.
I agree.
Taxed up the nose. Fixed it for ya. *thumbs up*
Nah. They'll just weasel out of paying taxes, like they always do. Best to just eat them.
To the point where they no longer exist

Hearing a non Brit describe Sargon as "gormless" is the best part of my day so far
The man is, in fact, gormless. Utterly without gorm. Gorm quotient of zero.
@@daithiodonnell2825
The supposed man is a gormless, gutless, feckless geebag
@daithiodonnell2825 He is made of pure anti-gorm and if he ever is in proximity to gorm, he and the gorm will be annihilated in a glorious discharge of low entropy dumbness.
Is he still around? Eventually YT got the message, and so I've not seen culture-war nonsense from the gamergate-era drama in my feeds for years, thankfully.
@@SabiJD I'm thrilled to inform you that he is indeed still around! "Podcast of the Lotus Eaters" is where you can find him on youtube. He's riding the brexit shipwreck all the way to the bottom with his podcast pals, and they're doing just fine.
Elon: I don't really lean one way or another. I just lean towards the far authoritarian right which is center, obviously.
Funny how "I'm more of a centrist" seems to just mean "I'm right wing but self aware enough to know what will happen if I'm honest about it"
Dude spent his whole life being a Democrat and Left but suddenly is Far Right because he doesn't agree with everything the left has become, typical.
@@AdraTheGhost It's been that way for a while. Look at Sargon. He always used the "classical liberal" copout, but it's pretty obvious that his views were more in line with Limbaugh than a libertarian. Even then, a lot of "libertarians" are actually reactionaries.
Now you repeat your labels and don't let them ever slip! Perhaps you're not aware at the moment but they are literally all you got
One thing that's bothered me over the last decade was the growing impressions that local governments were using Twitter in lieu of press releases.
Yes and police departments posting on Facebook. Like, log off. Social media is not the press and not how these things should be disseminated.
Yup, liberal media deserves Elon Musk's takeover after the idiotic idea to legitimize a social media website as an official source of information.
Of all the things that are wrong with social media, that is certainly not one of them. The press reports on Twitter anyway. Using the internet for communication is exactly what it is there for.
@@zagreus5773 Official communications with the public should not be hosted by private corporations.
@@aidancollins1591That really isn't a social media issue, though. Ever since we got any form of communication more advanced than standing in the middle of town to receive the information, we've had official news disseminated through a combination of public and private means.
Whether it's the church nailing a bulletin to your door or the local news broadcasting it, people are going to need to see news on the list accessible way possible.
Elon : “I’m a free speech absolutist” ……………. “Sign this NDA” 🥴
I'm sure it's just a coincidence that all "free speech absolutists" have no clue what free speech actually is. It's totally not because they're idiots or bought into some cartoon fairytale nonsense, not at all.
what nda
@@rayoscrost6062 Nondisclosure agreement
Elon: I'm a free speech absolutist.
Also Elon: Cis is a slur! Using it will get you banned!
"... you just bought your self for $44B." ... so its confirmed ... Elon buying twitter IS definitely a self-own.
You would think someone so "smart" and wealthy would know better than to toss around a number like that to buy a company, and then try to claim "Just teasin'!" to get out of the deal.
Lmao 😂💀
"There are no rules, just favorites [on Twitter]" Incredibly well said! Pretty powerful critique of libretarian-washed conservativism as well.
Republican Twitter is a carbon copy of high school behavior. 😊
Only much dumber
That's generous. I've been saying these guys never outgrew the elementary schoolyard rumor mill as their sole source of knowledge.
Those folks really care who is drinking the beers and they are actually afraid that someone will associate gay lifestyle if they are seen drinking a Bud Light? Lmao.
I always thought it was middle school behavior at best. That's all conservatism is IMO, people who failed at reality and unironically believe life peaked in middle school.
Notes on a bathroom wall. Even worse,a port-a-potty
"and catturd has turned his back on Elon"
That is a sentence I never could have predicted.
Truly we live in a very strange times.
Good video; thank you for posting it
Oh I could have, these unhinged MAGAts will turn on each other in a second. Look at all the MAGAts that were in the club before and are now being called RINO’s.
“Liberalism can not fight Fascism.” So true…
Well, it's a good sound bite which would like to see expanded. As it is at best a very powerful insight or less so, slogan.
Assumed it was explained in full through other videos on the channel deep-diving it. Haven't checked but will...
In Sweden the liberal party caved in and let the extreme right to have power.
@@ostweltliberalism and fascism are 2 sides of the same capitalist coin. Imagine your thumb fighting your ring finger.
@@ostwelt
It’s very clear what that means. Policy cannot fight violence.
Liberalism is about removing all power of the state to do anything. Fascism feeds on alienation and hate generated by a society that is breaking down, such as by a movement that has destroyed the ability ofbthe state to take on problems.
Its not hard if you just know what the two things are.
I had to leave Twitter all together, ditching an art account I had been building for a while. They removed harassment protections for Trans people in Twitter TOS and it's almost impossible to not see some of the most vile, insane stuff I've ever seen.
@@Doctor.MaybeScrewYouthat and Grimes dumping him fir Chelsea Manning
I'm glad you tards of the Twitter are finally abandoning your safe space aka your cesspit of degeneracy. Took you this long but I'm glad you're finally killing it off.

Thats really upsetting omg so sorry that happened hope ure doing better
Ugh, it’s so awful
Breaking cadence and calling Scott Adam's "dip-shit" had me dying 😂
Elon being a businessman is quite a comedy.
He's a spoiled baby born to riches who got lucky with early investments. That's it. He tried hard for a long while to.i sell himself as some real life Tony Stark back when, and only fools ever fell for that in the first place.
Yes, we tried the court jester as the king with Trump and it didn't take that long to see the results wasn't coming. Elon doesn't have to try the same but it seems he has the same "a BiG, a BrAiN" as #45 so he wants to give it a go.
"Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."
Turns out Elon is no Einstein.
@@RevShifty That's true him and Trump didn't have to break their backs in getting wealthy just need to suck off their rich daddy's.
@@Havensight 😂
Apparently he's on Ambien for sleep issues, he should just take a break until he can quit that shit.
*sees title* “so you just mean Twitter then?”
Hi Jessie!
elon is a huge proponent of -free- *$8* speech
I get the joke, but a lot of "free speech absolutists" have no god damned idea what free speech actually is. What they're actually whining about is consequence free speech, and that has never once existed anywhere, let alone in the US.
awwww did ya get butthurt that fellow libs are rightfully gone?
@@rayoscrost6062 Apparently not butthurt enough to randomly reply to someone's comment with ragebait since they have no arguments to comeback with.
@@rayoscrost6062 No one's butthurt except for people who go into videos about topics they disagree with to start shit. Kinda like what you're doing. It's all emotion with you folks.

"Liberalism cannot fight fascism."
Hear hear.
So it's a bunch of racist sitting around repeating each other's racist drivel. That should get boring after awhile.
Not for them, it won't
Nah bro it’s only gonna get worse. They’re gonna get more increasingly conservative
Regarding Scott Adams, his racist and anti-worker takes were very shocking. I always saw Dilbert as a sort of pro-worker anti-Capitalist manifesto. I used to find my experiences as an office worker repeatedly reflected in these comics. The incompetence of the pointy-haired boss... the manifest evil of Catbert, the machivellian Human Resource Officer... Dogbert, the Anarcho-Capitalist dog whose get-rich-quick schemes rarely, if ever, worked out, etc... all these characters I could easily find in the office in which I worked. However, the asinine and frankly disturbing political views of Scott Adams has pretty much soured my enjoyment of his work. He's a disappointment to millions of his fans who had connected with his work... 😢
Unfortunately Scott's been losing his mind for the last 8-9 years at least. He said that he voted for Hillary in 2016 because he believed she'd kill him if he didn't.
The Behind The Bastards podcast just put out a 2 part episode on Adams, and the gist is that Adams started the whole office humor schtick with Dilbert because a bunch of his readers emailed him ideas and that was always a common theme. It was lucrative to make fun of office culture, which is easy to see as pro-worker, but he doesn't actually believe any of it.
it's insane to me too. Ironically I started my path to anarchism with Dilbert. His struggles against the ineficiencies and idiocy of corporate capitalism absolutely convinced me that it is a system not worth propping up and made me look into alternatives to capitalism.
Agreed! Sometimes it could be funny, but it was more like having another office friend who could could confide in about the stupid sh*t going on at work.
And then, after several books, he let you know what he really thought about people.
The End.
It was legit pretty funny back in the 90s, but it's clear Adams didn't have the staying power to remain funny for several decades. There's a reason why legendary cartoonists like Bill Waterson, Gary Larson and Berke Breathed retired.
I for one am shocked the Dilbert show got cancelled.
Mostly because I'm shocked a Dilbert show was in the works at all
It ran back in '99 on UPN, because UPN needed content, and because of this streaming would later solve ALL OUR PROBLEMS. All of them.
I wasn't on Twitter like that but I did pop in occasionally to see what people are saying. It was bad before and now its a sh*t pile. I cant say I feel bad for Elon Musk because we all have the same 24 hrs in a day and I manage not to spend 80% on ranting and desperate to liked.
haven't seen elon rant
@@rayoscrost6062 lucky you..he has nothing intelligent to say, the wimp
@@rayoscrost6062 The guy says he hardly uses the platform but also somehow knows everything that's happening on it, kinda of like he is just regurgitating MSM talking points like a good boy...
I quit twitter probably a year before Musk took over because the doomscrolling was having a huge impact on my mental health. This whole mess has reinforced my decision not to go back.
As you point out, stuff on twitter has had real world impacts, so I do wonder how leftists leaving the platform will affect things. But also as you point out, the platform at best doesn't make space for us and at worst is actively hostile. I don't think the little bit that can be done in that situation outweighs a person's mental health, and I've heard from plenty of other leftists who've left twitter for mental health reasons.
I know there are also some people who benefit from finding community on social media, and to some extent I feel that too (here I am, participating in your community, even though youtube really only allows for a rather disjointed one) and I hope we're able to carve out spaces for ourselves in places that are less hostile. Spreading the word is good, but I'm less and less convinced that trying to spread the word among the most polar opposite ideologies is worthwhile. I went from US libertarian to anarchist, but even though the things that drew me to libertarianism were anarchist ideals, I had to unlearn things that prevented me from identifying with anarchism, and that was a more gradual process that required me to leave those right wing extremist spaces first.
I already knew that Threads would go the same way as Twitter, so I didn't join it (also because I don't have IG nor want it). Misery loves company, so even if it had been started by someone good and had incredible success, there's NO way that the right-wingers would have just stayed on Twitter. They would bust their way onto any platform. Hell, I could start a platform as a safe space for black women, for example, just so we can talk about internal "community" issues and relax without racism or misogynoir, and if it got enough visibility, they would want to be in on it so they can tell us our feelings about our experiences are wrong, stir the pot by encouraging self-hate, colorism, and such, and more. I know this because I've seen it in black-women-focused groups and in the comment sections of channels strictly focused on black women's issues.
Point being, if everyone left-wing left Twitter to the right-wingers, they would follow the left-wingers. As they always do. They can't leave those they hate alone because hate is greedy. If they're not hating us, they have no identify and their life has not meaning. They can't stand themselves, so they can't be left to themselves. It's like how they'd bust into black neighborhoods during segregation. If they're not hurting us in some way, they're not satisfied.
Yeah, they have to follow the people they don’t like because they have no real purpose otherwise. They don’t get together to discuss issues or come up with solutions or just enjoy chatting about whatever. They’re there to be antagonistic dickheads and they can’t do that without any targets.
It’s why the right-wing social platforms have no real influence anywhere. Nobody wants to be in a place where there’s nothing but hostility.
Threads the film though. **SHUDDER**
I left twitter as soon as Musk took over and people like MAP Walsh had a voice.
That's great to hear, I'm glad Elon is killing off your favorite echo chamber.
@@sabersin7694 And turning it into a much worse echo chamber for different people. It's almost as if echo chambers are the problem no matter what affiliation you are.
@@MysteriousSignal Nah, Twitter needs to die all together. That site is literally looked down upon by the whole internet as one of the biggest cesspits of degeneracy and toxicity where people who get needlessly triggered over nothing. That site needs to crash and burn.
@@MysteriousSignal The thing is, when it was some sort of lefty echo chamber, there was still a mass variety of content. And the most you got out of leftist spaces was LGBTQ acceptance, anti-police brutality, and ANTIFA.
Now it's a cesspit of racism, white nationalism, celebrating death/harm of LGBT people, disinformation galore, and so much worse. Twitter's unsalvageable now and is basically just Truth Social part 2.
I was kicked out of it because during my very few debates I had I added sources. Apparently that was bot-like. So obviously they have real bots too, I'm not into fighting with them.
For the life of me, I will never understand how someone going by "catturd" got so popular.

Welcome to the 21st century of right-wing talking heads
They've always been garbage. Social media in general just turns the volume up to 11.
Welcome? Last I checked that's all Benny used to do!
Imagine it: It's 1995. You've just written a dystopian novel about a fictional future in which the internet ("you mean AOL?") has become integrated into everyone's day-to-day existence, but one site in particular - which limits users to 140 characters per message - is so massive and popular that it is single-handedly changing global politics on a tight time scale. People would say it was too fantastical, too overblown. And yet here we are.
Twitter needs to die. Actually, social media in general needs to die. I can think of few technologies that seem on the surface to have such potential for positive change that have instead wrecked everything. The experiment failed; we can't hack it as a species.
idk I like mastodon; I get to say communist shit and there's no fascists in the space to deal with
The thing that gets lost in the shuffle are the small creative types who used Twitter to market themselves and have nowhere else to go now that the most efficient platform for them is turning septic. I know a lot of talented artists who are struggling financially as a direct result of this fuckery.
Not to mention, Twitter in Japan is BIG. I wish majority of their creatives migrate elsewhere…
Threads is less toxic but harder to find other creatives (unless they're already popular). I'm kinda feeling like giving up on the platform as an artist myself (IG has been a nightmare pushing video constantly to the point photography and illustrations are showing less unless you're constantly making shorts as well)
That joke about musk buying himself for 44 billion dollars is hilarious. Great video renegade

You youed a tube, but we'll let it pass 😂
Watching Elon, run Twitter into the ground has been one of the few things I’ve actually liked about 2023.
getting rid of the libs working from the inside, it sure is a nice thing to see
To bad he's got to do it in a way which creates victims.

One of the best accounts to recommend to people with bad politics.

'Liberalism cannot fight fascism', this should be a college course, certainly it needs more attention and promotion.
The death of Twitter is very sad to me. I found a lot of interesting people with things to say i wasn't hearing anywhere else. They're mostly gone now.
The only way it can get more republican Twitter is if they allowed child marriage and lowered the age of consent in Florida from 16 to 2
And gave everyone who signs up an AR 15.
Funny!
@@mytruecrimelibraryhat’s ridiculous! There's no need to spread disinformation about Conservative-leaning folk.
Do you actually believe that?
That they're gonna give out AR-15's to 6yr old kids??
Why would any parent do that?
When they have the JR-15 with a 5 round mag, made _for kids..._
🤦🏻♂️😆🤣🤣👍🏼
fun fact child marriage is legal in 40 states
Twitter doesn't need to get more Republican, it just needs to die off. Twitter has always been a cesspool of toxicity and degeneracy, perpetuated by pseudo progressive activists. Have fun living without your favorite echo chamber.
ben shapiro should voice a cartoon fly, he missed his calling
I quit Twitter. All I get is fasists posting snarky "ha ha you lose" bs, on every topic and conspiracy theories. Have to sift trough mountains of the same dross to find something worth while. It's like Musk is boosting all that.
I never used Twitter. The signal to noise ratio was always garbage, but I don't feel like sifting through reams of conspiracy fantasies or brain dead children screaming into the void certainly doesn't help anything. I will never have that kind of time or even the desire.
Twitter has always been a giant cesspit of toxicity and degeneracy, perpetuated by left wing degenerates like you, I'm glad Elon is effectively killing that site.
it's deliberate election interference. the only way a conservative base (to serve capitalism) can be maintained is through utilizing every psychological obfuscation and manufactured consent trick in the book. cointelpro level tactics to upgrade their echo chamber.
@@RevShifty
"Brain dead children screaming into the void."
I sometimes identify with that remark.
...People project their flaws onto other people sometimes?
It's a defense mechanism.
Right-wingers seem to do it a LOT.
It's like Musk is boosting all of that because he is. Despite (or perhaps because of) being one of the richest people alive, Elon appears to have a short-to-nonexistent list of people that can stand him IRL (notably a list that does not include his ex and, by all indications, several if not most of his children), and, consequently, a pathologically-strong need for validation. And fash and reactionaries are the ones who are consistently ready and willing to (metaphorically, for now. I hope.) tongue the guy's butthole in exchange for his attention. So he signal-boosts the people that make the voice in his head that tells him everyone hates him be quiet for a little bit, and in exchange fash get to make everyone else see their BS on what used to be a semi-functional social media site.
Before Musk Rat, the twitter report system seemed pretty responsive. They didn’t always timely delete the offending posts/accounts, but they got to it at some point which was sadly the most responsive most social media platforms got. Now I see my friends dropping like flies from it for standing up to bigots while accounts that openly post gore and hate speech are left completely alone no matter how many times you try to bring them to twitter’s attention. If they have a blue check, immunity is almost guaranteed.
I still feel that a lot of the horrible hateful crap on the internet started as "jokes" on "Something Awful" back in 2003 by people taking them seriously

This is the best political commentary TH-cam video I’ve seen in years. Phenomenal job.
Renegade Cut does great work!!
Your channel is one of the best in the leftist yt sphere. So so so underrated
Thank you.
Great video, though something I couldn't help but ruminate on was it's the first political commentary video I've seen that makes a noteworthy comparison between Trump and Musk. Highlighting their numerous similarities could be an entire video at this point.
"Kid Rock is a musician..." 14:07
You said that so perfectly I could almost see the air-quotes you made when you said "musician".
I find it funny in that song he trashed millennials even though it's them that made him popular when TRL gave him a platform. If not for them, he's be a failed used car salesman/rapper in Romeo.
Lol I like the phrasing of “Kid Rock is a musician?” like it’s a question
My Twitter account had a couple of thousand followers until it was unceremoniously banned by the previous regime. Ironically, the same thing that got me permanently suspended from old Twitter, (calling Ann Coulter a bimbo for supporting Rittenhouse), wouldn't even bat an eye with the current iteration.
I feel like you missed acknowledging that the Left did have a lot of powerful community of our own on twitter. Not a political party, but a lot of networking, discussions, education, and organizing. Our power may have been undermined and under threat, ie during gamergate, and we may have squabbled over very petty drama and so on, but we did have a strong political presence - Black Twitter, Disability Twitter, even Trans Twitter.
I feel like all social medias has became a cesspool for bigots to run since being anonymous has given many a shield more than ever. Would you consider talking about other social media apps or do you think they're not there yet like twitter?
Very true. They definitely have become a lot louder since the Internet because of that exact reason. And also even more so since Trump. they know he’s guilty, they know he’s a liar, they don’t care. He validates their racism and hate and to them that’s everything.
You are consistently a beacon of truth and knowldge. You are an asset to humanity! 🤩
Thanks!
It's nitpicking, but "classical liberal" just means conservative. There isn't another way to interpret it, that's what that combination of words mean by definition and intent.
This channel is invaluable.
Thank you.
Thank you.
It's been pretty fun watching the right tear itself apart. Twitter was always my least favorite of the social medias, I don't miss it at all

Twitter was always a bit toxic; yet it was occasionally possible to have a civil interaction outside of one's own echo chamber, in which users across the political spectrum could respectfully agree to disagree on some topics while finding common ground on others. While few and far between, those interactions were often transformative when they did occur.
On Twitter 2.0, that kind of dialogue is no longer possible, now that the algorithm favors Musk's paying army of keyboard warriors and their dipstick crusade against "wokeism" (one of many meaningless propaganda buzzwords used to stereotype and vilify anyone who leans the slightest bit left or doesn't conform to the far-right's way of thinking).
While it may be "free speech", the constant fear & hate mongering that's now prevalent on Twitter 2.0 gets tiresome -- especially when the only way to counteract that one-sided hate & fear mongering is to pay Musk $8 to boost one's comments. And no amount of pressure or financial shaming will change the minds of those who've already decided against paying for Twitter, and who'll eventually leave the platform altogether. As Musk and his followers gloat & crow about "owning the libs", the libs will leave in search of less hateful, more tolerant and balanced environments.
Under Musk's ownership of Twitter, the inmates are now running the asylum.
My facourite detail about that Scott Adams "I identify as white" strip is that he forgot that only sunday strips get printed in colour, so that black character identifying as white was the exact same paper-white-with-a-black-outline as everyone else
I'm not sure I'm _entirely_ buying that Twitter is the primary cause for all these effects? But the case for it being a significant contributor or mechanism for it, sure.
Just realized that when I subscribed it was for film, and that you've went political. I'm not complaining. We've all went political. Thanks for not turning into a moron man. Not kidding. I've lost a lot of friends and relatives to right-wing conspiracy nonsense, and I'm glad you didn't go that way. Appreciate your work.

Another banger!
It's really messed up how we allow individuals to make shitty decisions that affect millions :/
Brilliant video, thank you Leon!
Very welcome.
I just recently found your channel and I’m enjoying it.

Is this an expose of everyone I hate? It's time to overthrow the bourgeoisie!
I deleted my Twitter account the very day I heard that Musk was interested in buying it. Granted, I didn't use it too often, but after seeing what it became, I won't miss it.
Kid Rock is a “Musician” 💀 the way he said that was perfect.
What sucks for me personally is Twitter has always been the best source to find people who want to listen to my band's music and to find other musician to discuss our love of music. Instagram and Tiktok is a fucking joke for that despite what all the promo "experts" say and Facebook is only slightly better than IG and I'm being generous saying that.
I think another issue is that these people get emboldened and rewarded for trolling. Back when the internet was still a niche thing, you were always told “don’t feed the trolls” and most of the worst people have to make their own websites or forums just to say the vile garbage they want. But nowadays, everyone uses the internet and there’s little to no internet safety guides used anymore. So on top of these people getting a highlighted platform, now normal people will see these and go “dude that’s racist”, and inadvertently spreading it even farther
I'm so glad I've never had a Twitter account. It was always a toxic cesspool.

This is actually one of the best videos explaining the zietgiest ive seen in a long time. Actually astounding! It feels like you both simultaneously worked on this one forever _and_ just woke up recently and had an epiphany... it really sums up everything really succinctly and easily digestible. Totally hit the nail on the head. Of course its a rather shallow examination, but social media and the internet is a vast, deep ocean. Far too deep 😂
I left the cesspool a few weeks back and don't miss it.

Ahh, man made horror beyond my comprehension! My favorite!
Twitter has always been a cesspool of trolls.
I have no idea why anyone is still using it.
PEOPLE ON TWITTER CONSIST OF THE FOLLOWING:
1) Those who feel comfort, even catharsis, in being a hateful miserable piece of garbage. It’s rage therapy.
2) Those who feel the need to constantly explain themselves and their existence to the point where the feeling becomes an addiction. Don’t argue with people who are dead set on not seeing you as a person. Block them.
3) Those who have no hobbies, friends, or are genuinely unsatisfied with themselves, but feel they should spread that misery around for fun.
4) Those who have subscribed to the hierarchal status quo that secretly makes them miserable but they can’t find it in themselves to take it out on said system so they blame THE OTHER™️.
5) Those who are scared and disconnected from reality that they’ll cling onto whatever & makes them feel like they’re on the winning team, even if it’s incoherent bogus trash.
6) The sunk-cost-fallacy dorks. They (un)knowingly sided with one awful talking point, but because they have an ego that will simply not allow them to admit they’re wrong once confronted, they dig their heels in at every turn. Before long they’ve lost so much going deeper down that spiral but it’s too late. They’re too far in.
