So X allows people to push for endless war. Politicians saying we need to strike, even saying how, like using MOAB's to finish off town squares in Iran. But apparently that's allowed. But when I post that those pushing for more endless war should perish in their own creations, that's 'pushing for violence' and is bannable.

I just deactivated my X account. I only had like 60 followers, and it was mostly irritating, but I thought maybe Musk had saved it from being an echo chamber for manipulators and war mongers. I was wrong.

X is now a tool they are using to push endless war.

Does it make sense that calling someone a name, or saying they should be held accountable for their actions, should be censored, but pushing for more war against brown people is totally fair game? It's pure madness.

I'm sick of it, and I am ashamed today, to be an American.

Musk was supposed to fix all that but the leftists and the neocons have managed to game the new algos already.

This is the problem when you try to categorize everything into left or right. When all of a sudden 'your side' has a belief that conflicts with yours, you experience the kind of cognitive dissonance you're experiencing right now. Just because your team bought the propaganda medium doesn't mean it stopped being a medium for spreading propaganda.

I am way ahead of you on the false two party dichotomy. My 'team' is the one that didn't censor people for posting studies about the efficacy of Ivermectin. My 'team' is the one that didn't shadowban people talking about Hunter's laptop or Biden's cognition or a clearly stolen election.

So I am not a 'red vs blue' flag waver, I am a truth vs. lies flag waver, and X just lost my support.

I'm guessing the problem was you saying "you deserve to be burned in a fire", which probably violates their TOS.

Are there double standards? Sure, but you're putting no good examples, just your destined-to-be-censored-in-any-mainstream-platform comment.

I understand where you are coming from, but the key difference is similar to that Stalin quote: "One death is a tragedy; one million is a statistic" (which Stalin may not have actually said but the point remains).

If I say Jamaica should be nuked, it's abstract. If I say you should be shot (or burned in a fire) its specific and targeted. To be clear, I don't agree with you being censored I'm just explaining the thought process behind the TOS issue you are running into.

I'm not really sure what any of that has to do with you getting banned or censored or whatever on twitter for saying someone deserves to die but putting your support in a platform that's pretty much just random people yelling into a void seems kind of dumb to begin with.

The post I was replying to was suggesting using MOABS against a population.

Everyone in Iran deserves to be a target of a MOAB according to X OP.

That is the definition of promoting violence. The absurdity of the double standard makes X a joke.

I didn't say they should die. I said their soul should burn in their own creation.

They said people should die. They sought death. They promoted death.
They can reap what they sow and that is not my fault for saying it out loud.
