“We do sweeps for spam/scam accounts and sometimes real accounts get caught up in them,” Elon Musk wrote on X, responding to the temporary ban of at least 8 accounts, including those of a handful of journalists.

    Do you think it’s a coincidence that the left-wing bloc (in the US, at least) has become so fractured since the Twitter takeover?

    It’s been fractured since long before that. The fracture started around the Occupy Wallstreet movement.

      Leftist movements have been continuously attacked, suppressed, and fractured since the '60s (see also: the assassinations of MLK Jr. and Fred Hampton), if not earlier.

      Nevertheless, the subversion of Twitter is particularly significant.

        Almost as if they spend significant time and effort strategizing how to interfere with threats to their dominant position 😕

      Are you familiar with the phrase “divide and conquer”?

      Ask yourself how come there is always these fractures appearing out of nowhere as soon as leftists organize?
