Funny events in anti-woke world

So it seemed Bolsonaro was so concerned about losing to Lula that he had the security forces close roads in Lula leaning territories.

More details on alleged voter suppression case emerge

Why Biden’s Block on Chips to China Is a Big Deal

The new U.S. export controls on semiconductor technology will hurt Chinese industries. Xi Jinping has only himself to blame.

This will lead to Chinese Communist workers, their tech sector, etc. being in a world of hurt. And it's absolutely based. Fuck the CPC/CCP, get fucked commie-scum.

AHAHAHAHAHAHA

Get fucked Twitter employees.

Musk has fired them for cause so they'd would get any severance/golden parachutes. But firing for cause is basically the capital punishment of employment, reserved only for the most grievous of workplace misconduct like theft, assault or actively sabotaging the company, and you kind of also need to be able to prove it. The grunts will probably cut their losses, but the fired Twitter execs?

The former execs will sue Musk, meaning Musk will have to prove in court that these firings had satisfactory reasons, and the former execs will almost certainly win and get their money, because they had contracts with ironclad terms that make firing for cause pretty much impossible and golden parachutes guaranteed.

This is theater

Twitter is a group-think for annoying socialists and socially liberal douches and men haters. They banned Trump but not the Chinese Communist Party which kills Uygurs and dissenters, you banned Alex Jones and Andrew Tate but not Vladimir Putin's government officials who are doing bad shit in Ukraine, and Syria vs just being an outlet for lonely men and nutters. And they don't ban either the Saudi government or the Iranian regime both of which have done far worse than whatever right-wing insurrectionist basket case.

We get it Twitter employees you are anti-American pampered techies. You hate America. Just own up to it.

TL;DR: Twitter bans individuals but not governments and that makes Gergywergy super duper sad.

If they ban Trump, they should at least also ban this FuckFaceMcClownstick.

That said if Hitler was alive today, and started sending the Jews to death camps, I doubt Twitter would ban the Nazi Government either.

Luckily the cheat lost. And good riddance.

Supposing they do hate America, you think this little show of Musk actually hurts the people who got to decide how Twitter was run?

I repeat, firing for cause is basically unheard of at that level. The former execs will sue, and Musk will either settle out of court (i.e. pay their golden parachutes), or he'll let it go to court, lose and still pay those golden parachutes plus whatever damages/legal fees. Meanwhile, those former execs will have new top paying jobs by the end of next week, assuming they didn't already have those lined up from before Musk even took charge. They don't give a shit about any of this, they're going to get a nice payday and just move on.

Like I said, these firings are theater. Musk throwing the culture warriors a bone because he badly wants them to think he's a cool guy.

Other than that, while we no doubt disagree over the specifics, yes, fuck Twitter. And fuck off Musk. Probably gonna slap blockchain and crypto on there, a good old rousing round of solutions looking for a problem, in which case of course, fuck that off too. Yes, may the fucking off be drawn-out and ignominious, interspersed with spiked baseball bats.

That's exactly where I expect it to go. He'll be hiring Peter Molyneux next, for a bit of classic over-promising.

Well with any luck Musk and co. will mismanage Twitter into an oblivion so deep it will not ever recover and finally remove its blighted self from existence.

In my eyes if your a data engineer there your likely woke plus pampered plus out of touch with a large salary that is undeserved given Twitter’s unprofitably, and therefore deserve it.

Well, we'll see if it sticks. I mean, what's Lula gonna do if Bolsonaro doesn't leave, call the cops?

I'm taking bets on how long it'll take until Twitter is basically 100% conspiracy theories and calls to exterminate minorities. (Oh, and demands that various companies be destroyed for daring not to want to advertise on top of the conspiracy theories and extermination calls.)

See the thing that’s curious to me, is how will Twitter be able to make that part of it work when laws regarding speech vary from nation to nation. Like let’s say under Musk’s captaincy he allows as part of his even treatment method a genuine neo-Nazi group get to post their shit. And these boys go the whole nine yards with swastikas, holocaust denial, and general active calls for violence against Jews, black people, the LGBTQI+ crew and anyone else.

So what happens when the German government takes Twitter to court over the display of the Swastika and the publishing of Holocaust denial - both of which I’m informed are against the law in Germany - or my own country asks that Twitter remove the hate speech because that’s illegal here. Or to use an older example, when the NZ government had the mosque shooting footage taken down. Where does Musk’s authority end and his responsibility begin?

Decentralized APIs on the blockchain (aka, he doesn't know what he's doing and I'm only sticking around because this is gonna be hilarious)

 

[Thaluikhain]

That I can agree with.

Ok, lets all take a moment to recognise that despite the extreme (and I mean extreme) differences of political opinion, everyone here seemingly is united in their hatred of Twitter.
