    If you're not outraged, you're not paying attention!

The cabal of censorship between political forces and the tech sector and the major media runs the gamut of group think in the liberal hivemind. Remember the letter signed by 51 current and former intel people who said the laptop had the "classic earmarks of a Russian disinformation campaign"? When Bret Baier questioned one of those people he famously said something to the effect of: We didn't say it WAS Russian disinformation, we said it had the EARMARKS of Russian disinformation. We can't help it that you people don't understand the English language. Because you folks are not practiced in the art of the weasel words like us, you took it the wrong way. In the last two years did any of those 51 people say anything to the effect of - stop, you misunderstood the meaning of that letter? No, they knew just what they were doing and plenty of people were on board with them. Plant a seed and watch it grow.

    Twitter censored and removed a world leader (Trump) when there were people within Twitter (albeit a few) pointing out that his tweets didn't even violate their terms of service (check the Bari Weiss reporting). Musk has now pointed out that Iran's Ayatollah was able to remain on Twitter after posting about their desire to wipe Israel off the map. Other examples were posted regarding other leaders who may have only had a tweet removed but their accounts remained intact after their hateful and inciting remarks.

    What about any dissenting voices regarding Covid? What about actual doctors and scientists trying to discuss alternative treatments or having legitimate questions regarding safety and efficacy of MnRA vaccines or the validity of vaccinating little kids? Actual trained doctors and scientists who analyzed data getting their discussions snuffed out because woke content moderators said they violated terms of service?

    Twitter just exposes what was a popular tip of the iceberg. There is Facebook, Instagram, Google, and many other formats that went down the same road of reinforcing the hivemind. I feel very sorry for those who don't see the danger in this just because of their hatred for one man.

    For sure, there are places for goofs and conspiracy theorists and most rational people can recognize when something is - out there. There is work involved for the platforms to make sure they aren't being taken over by bots and generated posts. But they shouldn't be using those same generated posts and bots to reinforce their side either. Musk seems to want to bring integrity back to that. When Dorsey ran Twitter he was hauled in front of Congress and he lied about shadowbanning. Now Dorsey is cheering from the sidelines and saying Musk should release all the information from Twitter. Well Jack Dorsey, you could have easily done the same.

    I've often wondered if some of those folks who act as censors and moderators in the big world were to stumble into the Tailgate section and see some of these discussions what they would think, and then want to do about it. Or if maybe some spook type people take an occasional sniff around here.
    Jack Dorsey and Mark Zuckerburg would explode! lol
