Listen. I’ve never had a full engagement with it, it’s never had its claws all the way in me, so maybe it’s ignorant for me to say, but You know what’s nuts? Twitter is fucking nuts. But specifically How people are reacting to Twitter in 2023 is ducking nutso. Insane. Truly crazybonkerswildballs. Genuine psychopathy. I don’t get it. It is genuinely wrinkling my brain.
You’ll get people out here like “Yeah, Elon is both insane and a card-carrying apartied-cultivated bigot and facist and sycophant, and yeah the actual service of Twitter has degraded to a point of unrecognizability from its core mission statement, and yeah it’s literally just a platform for crazies and facists and grifters and bots (oh god the bots) that makes me feel the opposite of good every single time I open it, but I can’t leave! Because…*gestures vaguely*”
And I’m like WHY? Finish the thought! Complete the sentence! What’s holding you back?? Help me help you!”
And they’re like “Oh you know, it’s just the only place on the internet to…y’ know…”
And I’m like NO! I DON’T KNOW! What the fuck can you do on Twitter that you can’t also do on literally any other site??
Meanwhile the entire earth is literally burning beneath our feet, and everyone on Twitter is like “I’m so glad the world has burst into flame, I am in unimaginable agony but at least the poors are also suffering” and I’m like who the fuck are you and why do you have seven hundred million retweets
