With all the progressives moving to BlueSky Social, I can't help but see BS as an acronym;-)

Elon wants to make X the WECHAT of the world. He will control with surveillance, "your" digital, programmable money. X still censors.

Conservatives are not paying attention. It's policies, not party. Doge: "The Doge of Venice acted as both the head of state and head of the Venetian oligarchy." wikipedia--mock the victim. Please pay attention!

There's also an excellent nyernet story about Doge. You can read it on the excellent "Coffee &COVID" substack. I think it was last Thursday. And I'd agree, we love Elon, but if we've learned anything, it's not to trust too much..... especially when they get too big.

LauraJ, I really don't love Elon. He's murdered several non human animals with his brain chip trials. Now he got early approval to experiment on human animals. He is a defense contractor and he does want to own our money and have us brain chipped. That doesn't sound like the kind of things a freedom movement, either right or left, should want. This isn't freedom. It's slavery.

Trust must be earned. It is earned by actions. If these actions don't promote freedom, then there should be no trust. Jeff Childers has done many good things with his law firm during covid but he is a true believer in Trump. It's just not the job of thoughtful human beings to believe in powerful people. They need constant scrutiny.

Thank you for your reply. I didn't read Jeff's analysis of Doge but I will do so. Thank you for telling me about it!

It's scary to see the number of conservatives treating Trumps victory and his subsequent picks as a deceitful and dangerous loss.

This is why conservatives never really "win".

I'm generalising here, but.....

As soon as the right wins anything, the supporters seem to criticise every move and undermine each attempt to achieve anything worthwhile.

Conversely, the left appears to act as a single bloc and supports anything for team blue, while the right self immolates and weakens itself.

Evil Harry, telling the truth is what keeps human beings from self immolation. The Democrats mostly do not tell the truth. They tell comforting lies to themselves. This is unworthy of free people. We should be strong, courageous and truthful. I haven't told any lies. I have stated the truth. We show strength and honor by grappling with the truth, no matter wear it takes us.

Well, crap. I honestly didn't know the Substack name I chose was so close to a leftist site.

Freedom and freedom of speech are on life support right now. Very soon no matter what platform you are using, you will have to submit full disclosure form and be verified to a safe digital user identification. C-63 will ensure this soon in Communist Kanadastan. It will be the interesting to see how many of the blue check mark freedom warriors deal with this. My guess is that the majority will just bend over and let big brother have his way with them… in the interest of freedom ,democracy and having their voices heard of course lol. The downfall of humanity is in everyone’s hands right now, including mine. The smart phone made us all stupid brain dead sheep. Following whatever herd strikes your fancy. We are Tracked and data mined 24/7 to feed big brother every bit of information that he needed to keep us all under control and herded into the “Farms”. We all unwittingly contributed to our upcoming enslavement while happily scrolling, liking and comparing our lives to the influencer’s or Ai’s always perfect worlds. The battle has been lost and none of us even realized there was a war going on! And the war has been going on for decades. Where do we go from here? The future is uncertain,that I’m certain of.

The problem they have is if you look at the comments on many of their accounts it's never in support. That has to bother them. That's why they think it's trolls, meanies and people misled by misinformation leaving comments. It can't be their ideas are stale or suck. That they're losing the fight in the market place of ideas. Nope. It's gotta be because of Trump, Russia, fascists etc.

So they find themselves stuck. Either stick with the lunatics that have invaded BlueSky or go back to Twitter and face the public and realize they need to actually defend their ideas and positions. You can't go from one current thing to the next virtue signalling and spewing talking points forever. At some point you will need to back up and defend with an actual argument.

And no blocking and rolling your eyes is not a defence.

The mightiest warrior conquers himself. These snowflakes refuse to acknowledge, even the existence of, the battle.

Great report. I was wondering. I'm pretty sure the left suffers from FOMO. They aren't going anywhere, but in the meantime, enjoy the silence.

I'd bet that the idiot woke celebs who threatened to leave the US are just using Trump as an excuse. Their names r probably all over the eastern and Diddy files. If they leave, and I really hope they do, I bet it'll be to a country w no extradition

It truly is glorious. I have really been enjoying myself watching the Progressives having a melt down. Instead of taking responsibility for their failed election, they have been blaming anyone and everyone for the results. It won't be long before they turn on each other if they haven't started already.
