Woah what the hell is going on here? Does Elon thinks that every user from Ukraine is a bot and just decided to erase Ukraine without vetting the users?

Whatever my feelings on Ukraine, it is fucked still that a private business is able to deplatform an entire nation.

On the other hand, it could actually be a major win for us. Libs love Ukraine. Libs dislike Musk but like capitalism. Capitalism enables Musk to hurt Ukraine. This could be the thing that a new batch of socialists point to as the moment that radicalized them.

And even if 95% of libs have the wrong takeaway here, that 5% is something to work with. Now if that 95% keeps getting whittled down…

I generally enjoy seeing Paul Massaro mad, but this seems bad.

an entire nation

“Nation” is an odd way to spell “illegitimate breakaway republic”.

Not really sure what the train of thought here is, if Ukraine is a breakway republic from the USSR, so is Russia. The whole thing was illegitimate, but I don’t know how it’s more or less so for any of the different post-Soviet states.

Unless that’s not what you’re saying, in which case ignore this comment lol

I mean calling geopolitical structures and actions “illegitimate” or “illegal” is pretty much just propaganda. In reality they’re gonna exist if if they exist and do what they’re gonna do u less a greater geopolitical force intervenes.

A small batch, maybe. We are steeped in cognitive dissonance from a young age.

Has nobody told Elon about VPNs and phone spoofing?

Like does he think the “Iran wants regime change” bots are actual run from Iran?

Elon is a Luxemburgist and feels that Malorussia should just be incorporated into the Russian Soviet.
