I’m glad our sub got a mention. It shows we are making a slight dent.

Great aside from the fact that everyone feels the need to refer to us as right wing.

There's a gay writer for the Federalist named Chad Felix Greene that a lot of people suspected was active on RightwingLGBT on Reddit back when the Reddit sub was still going.

They had another gay writer whose name I've forgotten who borrowed talking points from that sub and posted his own work. Brian, maybe?

The Federalist is Republican current events magazine (one of the major ones.) Their awareness of our existence on Reddit probably came from their gay writers.

Another great sub gone.

It was a haven for moderate voices too.

They are afraid of the truth, they censor the truth and speech so we can live in their version of Alice in Wonderland. We need to capture social media, thats why its so important for Elon to take over twitter, reddit is trash.

Idk, seems kind of bold to assume that Elon won't also just start censoring stuff he doesn't like, just from a different angle.

I have zero hope for Elon Musk. He’s in favour of implanting chips into people. But if he’s actions bring down Twitter, and in turn result in viable alternatives with freedom of speech or Gab becoming more popular, I’d be fine with it.

Elon Musk also tried to slander Vernon Unsworth as a pedophile just for being a bit rude to him, then even hired James Howard Higgins to try to dig up dirt on Unsworth. There's also been many testimonies from former Tesla employees that Musk treats his workers like shit. He's just not a good guy.

As for bringing down Twitter, idk I kind of have the feeling he'll just turn it into the right-wing equivalent of what it is now.

Elon Musk is a lot like Steve Jobs. Cruel to his employees and makes expensive versions you can get for a quarter of the price. At least some iPhones cost less than €500 without a contract and the iPhone pulled the smartphone industry forward. Whereas Tesla cars are unnecessary, use electricity which in turn relies on the same fuels traditional cars run on, and made it common for cars to lock people inside when they go up in flames. Furthermore, Musk profited from lockdowns, which rubs right wing people the wrong way.
