🧵 A thread on why "We must fight the information war on Xitter" does not make any sense anymore.

In this thread I will lay out all the many reasons the battlefield is impossible to win. Not because of us, but because of how Xitter works now. How's its designed to fuck us all over.

There are people on this site that legitimately support Hamas. I’m referring to them. They even argue Hamas is needed to “protect” Gazans or that Hamas is in the right.

Exactly… this is how these type think. It’s ok for them to dehumanize an entire country’s people because they decided those people deserve it.

And yet so many on this website think Hamas are freedom fighters for Gazans. Yet here they are shooting Gazans to “restore order.”

This is the group you all trusted all this time.

Just tuned in to Trump’s AF1 gaggle. On Hamas shooting Palestinians in the streets, he says “they’re keeping order since 2M are returning home to Gaza, it’ll be all alright”.

I won’t share the graphic footage, but it doesn’t resemble “order” by any stretch of imagination.

It’s actually annoying when the pie isn’t quite cooled and therefore the flavours and textures are all off.

Thanksgiving in Canada has nothing to do with Columbus!

We are a colonial country with a million things to atone for but Thanksgiving is not one of them.

Our Thanksgiving is timed with the harvest and it's literally just "Be grateful for harvest"

US Imperialism has brain rotted too many of you.

“I spent three nights and three days in federal custody. During that time, I was never told what I was charged with, was not allowed to shower despite being covered in tear gas and pepper spray, had no phone call to my family, and no access to an attorney.” - George Retes, U.S. citizen and veteran.

I’m a US citizen and a veteran. ICE arrested me for no reason.

Jailed for three days without an explanation or ability to notify anyone, George Retes argues the only path to healing starts with the government taking accountability for its actions.

“CDC is over. It was killed. This administration only knows how to break things. They have made America at risk for outbreaks and attacks by nefarious players. People should be scared,” said Dr. Demetre Daskalakis, former director of the CDC’s National Center on Immunization and Respiratory Diseases

Yeah, the idea AI will fix everything is so simplistic. Pretty soon they’ll be expecting us to diagnose our issues with ChatGPT and I guess phone our doctors for whatever prescription it recommends.

Ah yes, a clear example of the type of idiocy that has led to us having doctor shortages.

This is ridiculous.

It was struck by a russian FPV drone. This is the reality of war.

We will be sending 🇺🇦 more trucks to replace it 😉
