What prompted me to address this now? Well, it appears the saga has finally ended with Musk removing all labels from accounts belonging to media from various countries.

But what have we learned from all this? The circle is complete and we are now back to square one as if nothing happened, yet a lot happened before we got to where we are today, so don't miss this opportunity to learn and hence arm yourself with useful info you can shoot back at hypocrites and fake "free speech" warriors. My old teacher used to say "no matter how boring or sophisticated something is, there's always a lesson to learn and the fun part is how different minds absorb different info".

I can't tell you how many internet monkeys were upset and literally crying because their favorite propaganda outlet now also had a "government affiliated" label on it. This was somehow an attack on press freedom and an attempt to discredit these honest and upstanding English or Canadian media. Shame on you Twitter.🥲 But I'm old enough to remember when almost all mainstream media were silent when the main accounts from media hailing from certain countries were tagged with a "country/government" label by Twitter when it was under Dorsey. Their own journalists and viewers back then flocked to their little personal accounts where they were seen smirking and mocking their colleagues who occasionally participated in programs with these media outlets and because of that suddenly had their own personal accounts on Twitter tagged with a "state affiliated" label as well.

Enter Elon, and this opinion piece pretty much sums up everything that went down afterwards: "Recently, some media outlets have quit Twitter over what they see as unjust labeling, which leads to the question – where was their outrage when the same rules were being applied to their competition? Where was the Western fury when the social media platform was slapping labels of state affiliation or funding on media linked to Russia and China, like RT? Nowhere to be found. How about when the platform was extending that same labeling to individual journalists contributing to those platforms? Again, silent. It’s only now that they can’t object strongly enough."

So yeah, nah, you are not a "free speech" warrior if you started blabbering about media tags only when the shoe went on the other foot. This hypocrisy is ridiculous, it's quite pathetic actually, it's nauseating how dumb these people are and they are everything that's wrong with the anti-war or anti-fascist movements today. It's like seeing someone vigorously advocate for peace in Ukraine and inform us all how bad war is, and you start to think "oh wow, there are so many good honest anti-war people active online these days, maybe there's hope for humanity" and then you check their profile and it be like "Proud air force pilot served in Libya, son of Vietnam war veteran" or some ridiculous 💩 like that.

I can't get over how dumb we have become. It's the little things that give away just how low we have sunk you know, like listening to that EU dictator who opportunistically used the news of an attack on Salman Rushdie to take the spotlight and preach to her brain dead audience about free speech and democracy

only to literally do the exact opposite of what Rushdie's core message was: "The moment you limit free speech, it's not free."

IDK, maybe I'm the dumb one. Maybe it was not that part of his message she resonated with but Rushdie's anti-Islam lectures which she adored. Nothing would surprise me about these people anymore. Honestly maybe I got them all wrong. Maybe it's not Tibetan culture or spirituality which they admired, but tongue sucking old perverts. If so then bear with me because I think I broke the formula of their definition of "freedom and democracy": Apparently calling out Dalai Lama's child abuse is spreading Chinese propaganda, criticizing Israel for attacking mosques is antisemitic, not approving of males competing in female sports is transphobic, yet insulting Islam, slandering China or glorifying terror attacks against Russia all qualify under freedom of speech.
