Oh No! Celebrities Are Leaving Twitter. We're Doomed, Doomed I Tell You!!!!

This past week I was at the vitamin store run by some really nice young people, as a result I've had friendly chats with them, and did so this time.  I don't remember why but old time movies stars came up in conversation, and guess what?  They had no idea who the old time stars were, including, Clark Gable or Errol Flynn, among others.  The were among the biggest movie stars of all time, and they had no idea who they were.  Why? 

While it's true they were just actors, and they never did anything that really impacted humanity so as to come up often, but that's not the answer.  Ask 100 people who Norman Borlaug was and I'm willing to bet depending on the audience, 100 people wouldn't know.  One year I asked that question at our local trade association's annual award banquet in a room of about 60 people, and less than ten knew, and these were people who are more exposed to this kind of information than society in general.  

was probably the greatest man to have lived in the 20th century and since he didn't die until 2009, he will probably be the greatest man to have lived in the 21st century.  Why? Because of his work in agriculture with what's called the Green Revolution he probably saved the lives of a billion people from starvation. Now that was a life filled with having done something, and yet darn few people will know who he was.  Why?   Because time moves in one direction, and unfortunately I find most people are uninterested in the past.  But the past is the solid pathway that leads to the stepping stones of the future. 

That brings me to Twitter. Here was a comment from Walter Kirn regarding his view of Twitter before the sale to Elon Musk:

The end of this period of Twitter—with its creepy secret agents, sponsored mob attacks, whipped-up propaganda drives, and canned applause tracks for approved ideas—could not have come fast enough for me. I’m a cynic by nature, but I see no good reason—for now, at least—to question Musk’s proclaimed intention to turn Twitter’s claustrophobic dungeon back into an airy public square. I expect the transition will not go smoothly, though it does seem to be going quickly. Musk has already fired the company’s C-suite and dissolved its board. Users, however, may need time to adjust to the less inhibited new platform. Emerging from the dimness of Plato’s Cave into the dazzle of daytime may take a while—we grew sleepier than perhaps we even knew. I say let the wild rumpus begin.

Apparently there were a lot of people who liked Twitter's "creepy secret agents, sponsored mob attacks, whipped-up propaganda drives, and canned applause tracks for approved ideas".  How do we know that?  We have celebrities informing the world they're abandoning Twitter because they're outraged it was sold to Elon Musk who may allow .....watch out now, here it comes.....Donald Trump to start tweeting again.  

Ohhhhhh noooooo, not that, anything but that, we're doomed, dooooomed I tell you.

Some really big time stars like Shonda Rimes and Sara Bareilles are jumping ship entirely, and that really bothers me because, their tweets were my primary source of news.  Nah....just kidding, I absolutely have no idea who they are and didn't look them up because I really don't care who they are.   I just read that in recent piece and thought it worth repeating, after all, if people don't remember people who actually did something big in their lives, and who were the biggest names in their fields of endeavor, how many are going to remember these nitwits ten years from now?  And will probably be forgotten in a lot less than ten years. 

It occurs to me many of these "stars" who are has-beens and wannabes, many of whom have had issues stuffing white powder up their noses, are screaming their outrage over having to potentially read the views of sane people. People the "twitterati" on the left have managed to censor, diminish and block, with trolls attacking any opinion different and unacceptable to these echo chamber sitting head nodders.  

And woe be unto any professional with the facts that show their views are nothing short of insanity, they would twitter unendingly to get them fired.  And it happened.  And now these leftist misfits have convinced major advertisers to cancel their advertising with Twitter.  At least until their monopoly is restored or Twitter ceases to exist, which would be acceptable to them either way as both options thwart free speech, which is their real goal.

In response it appears Musk is being encouraged to publicize which advertisers are against free speech, and as BlackRock investments has learned, if you go woke, you go broke.

And who knows, maybe they'll become so saddened and so outraged over the audacity of allowing all this free speech stuff to go on they'll go the next step and warn us .....warn us mind you...... if this openness isn't stopped and their monopoly restored, these "celebrities" will leave the country, like they said they would do if Trump was elected in 2016. 

Promises, promises.
