If you are melting down over the World Cup in Qatar; ask yourself why you didn’t have a similar meltdown over the one in Russia in 2018? Be honest about it.

Neil Scott on Twitter, and our enclosed “free speech.” Monetizing “free speech” can only work if some have more free speech than others. Elon Musk’s idea of “free speech” is anti democratic, relies on creating elites, and ensuring profit grabbing corporations have a much more prominent platform than most users.

If the federalism shills couldn’t see this coming, they really weren’t looking.
