Elon Musk seems to be planning something BIG

Shattering its monopoly on speech could break the democratic party. Even an MSNBC anchor understands that.

Tucker looks at the possible consequences of free speech being allowed on Twitter.

Highlights include:

“It looks possible that Elon Musk will seize control of Twitter and end censorship on that platform. Now, why should you care about that?”

“Because if that were to happen, we could see a return of free speech to the United States, and nothing should give you more hope than that possibility. A free Twitter would mean an open debate about ideas on the single most important incubator of ‘elite opinion’ in the world. It would mean a return to free and fair elections in the United States, a system which both sides are allowed to make their case to the public and then the public can decide. It’s called democracy.”

“And above all, a free Twitter would mean a direct challenge to the people in charge of our country’s institutions.”

“The point of censorship is never to shield the weak, no matter what Barak Obama may tell you. The point of censorship always and everywhere is to protect entrenched power, that’s why it’s the powerful who impose censorship for their own benefit, and that’s exactly why illegitimate regimes fight so hard to control information through censorship. Somehow the ‘right’ does not seem to understand this, the ‘left’ definitely understands it.”

“Shattering its monopoly on speech could break the democratic party. Even an MSNBC anchor understands that. Why are they so determined to keep you from talking? Because they know your talking is the threat to their power. Allowing the free exchange of ideas in America’s public square is far more important than any single election result.”

“And if you don’t believe it, consider what you’ve just seen over the past two years.”

“How exactly would Twitter, which is a public company, fight off a hostile takeover from the richest guy in the world? And already you can see the strategy to keep Elon Musk at bay.”

“First, Twitter is enlisting the help of corporate media. Now, corporate media stands to lose at least as much as the democratic party will lose if Twitter is liberated. Competition is terrible for the mediocre and the illegitimate.”

“So, MSNBC understands this intuitively, even the airheads who read the scripts on the air, and so they were the first to answer the call. What did they do? You know exactly what they did, they did what they always do. They called Elon Musk a racist.”

“This line doesn’t so much reveal a lack of self-awareness as it does commit murder against the entire concept they’re trying to support.”

“‘Musk’s appointment to Twitter’s board shows that we need regulation of social-media platforms to prevent rich people from controlling our channels of communication.'”

“This ran in the Washington Post, a paper that apparently unbeknownst to the editors who work there is owned by billionaire oligarch Jeff Bezos, China’s biggest retailer, and used as his personal platform to lobby the federal government and settle scores. So, Jeff Bezos can own the only news-gathering operation in your nation’s capitol and use it for business and ideological ends, but the idea of letting average people say what they want on Twitter is a threat to democracy.”

Tucker: We’re Back.

At the most basic level, the news you consume is a lie, a lie of the stealthiest and most insidious kind. Facts have been withheld on purpose, along with proportion and perspective. You are being manipulated.

Tucker again lays into the media propaganda machine as he announces he’s taking the show to Twitter. Highlights include:

“You often hear people say that news is full of lies, but most of the time, that’s not exactly right. Much of what you see on television or read in the New York Times is, in fact, true in the ‘literal’ sense, it could pass one of the media’s own ‘fact checks.’ Lawyers would be willing to sign off on it, in fact they may have. But that doesn’t make it true. It’s not true.”

“The best you can hope for in the news business at this point is the freedom to tell the fullest truth that you can, but there are always limits, and you know that if you bump up against those limits often enough, you will be fired for it. That’s not a guess, it’s guaranteed. Every person who works in the English language media understands that. The rule of what you can’t say defines everything. It’s filthy, really, and it’s utterly corrupting.”

“For the most part, the news that you see analyzed on Twitter comes from media organizations that are themselves thinly disguised propaganda outlets. You see it on cable news, you talk about it on Twitter. The result may feel like a debate, but actually the gatekeepers are still in charge. We think that’s a bad system. We know exactly how it works, and we’re sick of it.”

Tucker: See you soon

When honest people say what’s true calmly and without embarrassment, they become powerful. At the same time, the liars who’ve been trying to silence them shrink.

Oh gosh, I’m using Twitter. Tucker dropped a video today on his Twitter account, again commenting on the current state of US media and finishing with a hopeful “See you soon.” Highlights include:

“One of the first things you realize when you step outside the noise for a few days is how many genuinely nice people there are in this country, kind and decent people, people who really care about what’s true, and a bunch of hilarious people also, a lot of those, it’s gotta be the majority of the population, even now, so that’s heartening. The other thing you notice when you take a little time off is how unbelievably stupid most of the debates you see on television are…”

“Both political parties and their donors have reached consensus on what benefits them and they actively collude to shut down any conversation about it. Suddenly, the United States looks very much like a one party state. That’s a depressing realization, but it’s not permanent. Our current orthodoxies won’t last. They’re brain dead.”

“This moment is too inherently ridiculous to continue, and so it won’t. The people in charge know this, that’s why they’re hysterical and aggressive. They’re afraid. They’ve given up persuasion, they’re resorting to force. But it won’t work. When honest people say what’s true calmly and without embarrassment, they become powerful. At the same time, the liars who’ve been trying to silence them shrink, and they become weaker. That’s the iron law of the universe, true things prevail.”
