Take one look at some of the employees fired from Twitter the past two weeks by Elon Musk and it’s easy to understand why the company operated as a far-left echo chamber for so long. Though company executives claimed that the platform was “politically neutral” for many years, evidence is coming to light which confirms what we already knew – There was a severe leftist bias that permeated every aspect of the social media site which specifically targeted and censored any viewpoints or facts that did not fit with their narrative.
Hilariously, Musk posted on the discovery of a supply closet at Twitter HQ containing activist swag including stacks of t-shirts which have “#StayWoke” printed on them. A neutral company? Not a chance.
Most interesting of all has been the absolute distress and in some cases rage expressed by long time employees over Musk’s free speech position. The level of open authoritarianism on display by the political left in the past few years has been astonishing, if not predictable. The reaction to changes at Twitter solidifies this obsession in crystalline detail. Here, former contracted Twitter employee (a male identifying as a trans female) hired as a “moderator” (censor) tells NBC about his worries when it comes to the company’s future as a free speech based platform.
Musk fired over 4000 outside contractors this past week, most of them employed as moderators. NBC’s message is relatively clear: Free speech is a negative. And, such an ideal being applied at Twitter overshadows the great harm being done to the poor innocent leftist employees who were doing God’s work by protecting platform users from unfiltered discussions.
The problem is, anyone can block anyone else on Twitter at any time and filter their own social media feeds, which completely debunks the common argument that people will be “harmed” by surprise exposure to politically incorrect discussions. The next most exploited argument is that “hate speech” will run rampant on the site – But the term “hate speech” has become so diluted by false leftist accusations and fraudulent hype that it is now meaningless. Even the term “groomer” was banned on Twitter before Elon Musk took over.
The corporate media has spent the better part of the past week predicting the implosion of Twitter after the firing of several thousand workers. At any moment the company was going to shut down, they claimed. This has not happened, revealing a stark truth – The company runs just fine without them. Those several thousand regular employees and contracted moderators were useless dead weight. The proof is right there for the world to see.
Has the Earth exploded because of less moderation on Twitter? No. Has the Third Reich returned because gender identity warriors aren’t sitting on their laptops at home banning people who say Lizzo’s obesity is unhealthy or that men cannot be women, cannot menstruate and cannot have babies? Nothing has happened.
This leads us to a singular conclusion – Leftist censorship is about power and control, not about safety They know it, and we know it. And now, with Twitter out of their hands their denials can be challenged in an open forum. It’s the one thing they fear the most.

So they picked a tranny to make an example of?
He was the least insane of them.
Transgenderism rooted in massive scientific FRAUD, says psychiatrist

Yeah. As people have said before, everything after DSM-1 is complete bullshit.
Those whiny freaks of nature should be thanking their lucky stars to be born into a country where there is freedom of speech and the Bill of Rights. There was a time when those freaks would have been burned at the stake.
Better happier times.
Oh, noes! The truth is coming!! HEEEELLLLP!!!
Instead of burning the shirts give them to the homeless of LA.
Then film a comedy fake documentary of all the out of work twitter employees along the lines of Idiocracy. The jokes would write themselves.
The hypocrisy of ZeroHedge is astounding!
The Tylers banned me only four times for speaking freely there.
The only safe way to comment.on a ZH article is do it from The Burning Platform.
Same here. Tylerz. Heh. The first rule of Fake Club is you pretend to be Fight Club and gag on whichever dick pays you the most per click, while pretending to be honorable and good with money.
may he get the severance for his package desired.
Because that’s what CEOs do, first week on the job, let’s look through some long forgotten closets down that dusty hallway to find some company swag.
Is that plausible?
Nope. Someone concocted that story for a reason, probably to get people like us here outraged.
Or somebody told the Muskrat about it. Or, given he is a tremendous workaholic, it is possible he found it himself. Some people have an incredible power of observation. They somehow intuitively know something is out of place, and they go investigate. I suspect Muskrat is one of those types, being semi- autistic. He would intuitively know things that he isn’t quite able to verbalise until it is checked out in detail. He is a smart bastard, I will give him that.
“He is a smart bastard, I will give him that.”
Based on what?
He’s a subpar actor doing his part for darpa, enjoy the show.
“NBC’s message is relatively clear: Free speech is a negative…” Said by someone using… Umm, “Free speech”.
I thought the problem was not enough free speech.
The only real takeaway from the Twatter Affair is that the company was hemorrhaging money on pay and benefits for dead weight. Has anything changed in its function since the layoffs? Then what were they all doing? It was a form of welfare for misfits and broken people.
I still wouldn’t trust it because Elon is fake and gay and he wears Baphomet gear.
But it’s going to be fun to watch all the exiles come back in and see what the real limits of free speech are all about.
Won’t take long.
#Stay Woke,

The woke force needs to shut you up because that’s the only way they could “win” any kind of argument.
