are the "left" melting down?

I think all that's been said is that Musk may find it hard due to his legal issues around his previous use of Twitter and the fact the main shareholders of Twitter don't want him in charge, or saying he'll probably be a disaster for it.

That's not exactly having a "melt down".

I already responded to you in post 3.

Did the media control his twitter account or force him to say the things he said? Maybe you are suggesting they deep faked Trump so it wasn't Trump we were watching at all? That god damned deep state!

I take no sides, they are as bad as each other, same as with all political parties and politicians.
I was just fully aware that the media was pushing a narrative that was twisted and not honest is all, I 'm not saying Trump was a saint or the man for the job but when I see bullying I don't like it.

Do you consider Biden a lunatic?

Also, what's your reasoning for calling Trump a lunatic, just curious?

When Biden starts questioning the 2024 election before it even happens, says he can only lose because of fraud and then when he loses comes up with a Big Lie that attempts to subvert the democratic will of US citizens that ultimately results in an insurrection, then Biden will be a loon in my eyes.

That is just one example:
Wind turbines cause cancer
nuking hurricanes
"Is there a way we can do something like that by injection inside or almost a cleaning? It sounds interesting to me, so we'll see. But the whole concept of the light, the way it kills it in one minute. That's pretty powerful."
Remember the sharpie hurricane Dorian map :cry:

This could go all day it really could. The man is a conspiracy believing loon that is even more dangerous because he believes he's a genius.

Are you suggesting that Trump was bullied? Oh the irony :cry::cry:

Maybe you are watching the wrong kind of media?

Ok this might be the stupidest post in this thread so far. You can swear as much as you want on YouTube, just don't expect it to always be monetised if you do.

That comment (RE Hell) seems to stem from the confusion between free speech, and expecting to have the god given right to use someone else's platform/servers to do or say what you want on.

As you say, you can swear etc, but it will likely reduce your ability to monetise/advertise etc.

Not hording ridiculous sums of money and buying super yachts worth hundreds of millions of pounds, and instead living a reasonably modest lifestyle and helping communities?

Maybe I'm not entirely sure which way I'd go personally as there will be a few that have actually earnt the money themselves but yeah indeed a massive portion needs to be filtered down to things like community living and funding homelessness or charity. Super rich are generally an unimaginable kind of rich when if they had a few mil it'd be comfortable to live, as soon as you get to more than that it's a very unbalanced society.
Surely they must not feel safe with the sort of money they have when it gets that much either

Shouldn't really wait for generosity of billionaires to give back to the communities. Tax them properly.
 
Tax them properly sure but said billionaires just generally hides it to stay richer. Should there be a rule to make a billionaire no longer allowed to run a business once they make X and have to select another to run it.

Essentially circulation of wealth or stop the earning once it gets to X levels

Yeah hiding wealth is a problem, we need a global effort to go after them. I'm not against them living luxurious lives or doing crazy things, as long as they pay their fair share of taxes.

So Soviet-style communism? /s

Are Keanu Reeves and JK Rowling communists? Funny they seem like capitalists, maybe just ones that possess some empathy. Rowling lived on benefits for a time, perhaps that is why she has given so much money away to good causes.

Its amazing that "communists" is the buzzword of the right again. Its like we've jumped back to the 70s/80s buzzwords when there were such things as communists and they were still a threat, kind of.

edit: the communists bit wasn't necessarily aimed at you. It is the buzzword of the right now though
