First off, that's completely false.
No, it's true, but also irrelevant.
Pie's point still stands: That woke Twitter TDS execs most likely wouldn't have performed so many bans and censorship if they did not have the government to pass the accountability onto.

Oro literally has no life besides posting long pages full of conspiracy theories. Anyone with a brain can understand that the intelligence communities, who were openly anti-Trump in some cases, colluded with Twitter to censor. You can argue all day whether this was coercive or not, but it neglects the fact that without government involvement, the story may not have been censored.
You can definitely make the case that the wokester Twitter employees and execs tried to justify to their shareholders that they were simply "complying with the FBI" so that they would not be blamed for the falling stock price (I think the price went as low as 14 dollars as they waged a war on opposition speech?)
In any case, the Twitter execs clearly only had one agenda, and it included neither the stockholders nor the general consuming public.

Thanks for signing a bill that makes it now ILLEGAL for rail unions to strike for sick pay. What a union man!
So stunning and brave that you and most of the Senate Democrats voted for that!

Biden Devotes $36 Billion to Save Union Workers’ PensionsThe money comes from last year’s Covid-19 relief package and will avert cuts of up to 60 percent in pensions for 350,000 Teamster truck drivers, warehouse and construction workers and food processors.
36000000000/350000 = 102857.
So Republicans also helped lower taxes on people that just got a 100k+ bailout with government printed money? Go Uniparty!

So what's up with the whole "Get woke go broke" thing?
Get woke = When a business or corporation tries to make money by changing key aspects of a beloved long running property, usually of the entertainment variety, in order to expand the fandom & money pool by catering to outsiders who had zero interest in the product, by mutating it until it appeals to them.
More often than not, a company will attempt to cash in on trendy political movements. There’s a strong chance that none of the higher-ups in the company actually believe in the message, they just want clout on social media & for the press to praise the company & product, which makes the shareholders happy.
The end goal is that the publicity will bring in more customers & more money, & that the disgruntled pre-existing customers will get over their anger & resume consuming their products.
Sometimes the company really does believe in the message, & wants to purge non-believers from themselves, seeing their support as tainted money. They will often mock former customers on social media or in the news, daring them not to buy the product. Sometimes it’s just the media misconstruing words & exacerbating the problem as a form of clickbait.
This created a territorial rift in the fandom with a strong us-vs-them debate that can carry on for weeks, months, or years. This tarnishes the value of the product & damages the trustworthyness of the company, but the company likes it because it generates strong, long-lasting publicity.
——————————————————————————
Go broke = Political movements are run by very small numbers of people, usually people who are still in college, high school, have low income jobs, or are unemployed & living with family. They demand changes, but notoriously never reward the changes monetarily, saying the good deed was it’s own payment. While they do bring in free publicity, they are an unreliable source of income.
The vast majority of customers liked the product the way it was & did not appreciate the message that their money & years of patronage wasn’t good enough, or that they’re now yesterday’s meal & the company now only caters to the youth, or being called horrible things for failing to convert. Thus, the exiled & shamed ex-customers revoke their patronage of the company, causing them to slowly bleed money until the company either folds, or is forced to sell off the damaged brand to another company.
Sometimes a company will absent-mindedly back a movement that reveals hypocrisy & financial motivation. For example, if a company was to support the Black Lives Matter movement & gay pride, while simultaneously banning users for supporting the Free Hong Kong Movement, removing black characters from box art & posters for releases in China, & removing gay characters for releases in China, Russia, & the Middle East. The most obvious examples are Disney & various AAA video game publishers.
There are countless examples. Just recently, the show survivor tried to go woke, and no ones watching. When football went woke, they lost so many viewers, they undid it. Countless businesses have tried and went back to normal. I don’t want anything to do with these woke companies. Like the airline that said in the next 5 years they’ll have half their pilots black or women… who cares or even knows most of the time, what your pilot on a plane is? Well, now I know I don’t want to deal with American Airlines, since there’s a 50% chance the pilot was not hired because they were the best for the job, but because of their sex or race.. it’s insanity! They want you to believe that every race and sex equally gets into every single job. Some jobs draw in more men or more women. Some appeal more to people of certain races, due to culture.. and it’s insane to force 14 percent of the population, when just to put it bluntly, a larger piece of that population is not in the workforce than other groups, to be in job positions. There aren’t enough people to pick from in some cases so they end up with bottom of the barrel.. some jobs have more than 14% black people.. we don’t make it so the job must be 40% white to reflect the population.. what about areas where there aren’t many white or black people? Of course businesses in areas with predominantly white residents are not likely to have more than 14% percent black employees, and vice versa. Merit is an afterthought for race quota activists.
Radical leftists are definitely very bad for business right now.

Well yeah, that was the whole reason why Twitter execs approached the FBI, so they could pass accountability off to another agency.
Kinda like what the German soldiers did to excuse the atrocities at Auschwitz. Someone in authority said to do it, so it's okay.

Like all entertainers, their revenue is based on how well they connect with their audience.
Some people don't want to pay a lot to see women pretend to be men in either sports or movies. They can just watch the talented men do it.
In the case of Russia, they have a strong National women's team, (the men's team isn't very competitive) and a lot of the audience is women weirdly enough, so the women are compensated for putting on a good show for the Russian women.

Thanks for destroying the petrodollar! America didn't need that advantage anyway.
Can't wait for all those American dollars abroad to come flooding back into the US economy! Wonder what that will do to inflation? Nah, it'll be fine!

Even today, Griner is bitter and resentful of her country, blaming the WNBA for being the reason why she was imprisoned because they paid her less than a country that enjoys women's basketball more and has less women doing it than America.
This is who Biden declared "the best among us"
"She represents the best America — the best about America — just across the board, everything about her. "

Of the prisoner exchange, I've no comment,As I've not read much on it.
They released a Russian arms dealer responsible for near a hundred thousand deaths in Africa and other parts of the world, including Americans to bring home someone who didn't want to hear the National anthem at her job because America is a racist country.

Warning Twitter about potential foreign misinformation is not a violation of the first amendment. Twitter ultimately decided what content it would allow on it's platform and the government made no attempt to coerce Twitter in it's decision making.
This is correct. In order for a 1st amendment violation to occur, it would have to be proven that the government either engaged in coercion or quid pro quos.
Most of the evidence at the moment shows the private publishers actually approached the government voluntarily.

Global warming isn't an invented problem, it reflects the findings of the global scientific community.
True, but global alarmism is a current fad. Just like politicians used to try to scare people in the 70's with an "ice age"

What is kinda funny is that the main reason Republican Neocons (and Neolibs) want to remove the mandate is because they can't meet the enlistment quotas. Basically the military is suffering far more "casualties" from the mandate than the virus itself, since military people are near the same risks as young healthy children for Covid damage.
So Washington DC is in the middle of a big lobby fight over this issue with the Big Pharma lobby on the Vaccine mandate side and the Military Industrial Complex on the opposite side.
Fine with me if the Pentagon can't meet their staffing quotas. Less people for the military industrial meatgrinder in endless proxy wars for political profit.

There are those with fatal character flaws where one cannot think for himself unless he has authority figures to form opinions for him. So if Tucker Carlson says it's not a violation of free speech to have the government pressure private businesses to censor speech against the government, then it does not violate the constitution.
Because Tucker said so.

Maybe you need authorization to not do something on your planet, but here in the real world, that isn't how things work.
But that is exactly how the police work. Policy to not use certain means to deal with a violent mob is set by an authority, otherwise police would just do random things. Defund the police policies for example.
Someone told those police to stand down. I want to know who did that.

@Sidewalker
No, they didn't use pepperballs and tear gas....they used stun guns, pepper spray, baseball bats and flagpoles wielded as clubs...oh yeah, and pipe bombs.
That's my point though. Who authorized police to not use pepperball and tear gas on what was suppossed to be the most violent mob in all of American History?
The Jan 6 committee never asked nor answered that.
Hopefully in 2023 someone in Congress will.
Created:
Eh, guess 2023 Congressional hearings will explain it all.

@Sidewalker
The police were defending themselves and the politicians they came to kill, and it's clear the police showed more restraint with this mob, not less (probably because the President sent them. If that had been a Black Lives Matter protest that attacked the Capital, they wouldn't have made it to the capital steps, there would have been hundreds of dead bodies everywhere.
As far as I can see on a lot of available footage, pepperballs and tear gas were not used much on Jan 6. Correct?

who didn’t like her social media posts questioning sexualisation of children in school.
In America, it is now considered a hate crime to obstruct sexual grooming in minors.
Project Veritas recently exposed a school handing out dildos and butt plugs to minors to help groom them for sex.
The school vowed to press charges, criminal if possible.

You mean other countries that import oil instead of producing it locally. Gas prices are far cheaper in the countries that produce surplus oil.
For example, you can find gas below 3 dollars a gallon USD in most parts of Russia, and that is with a war going on.

There are no laws to prohibit the ongoing project Mockingbird from the alphabet agencies.
