Not gonna dig through their Twitter feed, but I saw someone a couple months ago ask them this exact question on one of their posts, and they wrote a pretty interesting response. They basically said, we're still here, trying to fuck the system up, but, with all the information we've provided and ported out there to the world, y'all haven't done dick with it. Laws haven't been passed, politicians haven't been ousted, corporations are still abusing the systems. So they were basically saying, what good is them leaking and hacking if the public doesn't take a more activist approach towards change themselves and hold the people they expose accountable.

I've also been thinking and expecting that they will create their own fraud this time. Evidence is what they were missing last time around. So imagine this time, drop boxes get flooded with phony ballots that they themselves put in for Kamala. Then they can point the finger and say "See! We told you so!" and it's enough for the state legislations not to certify and call things into question.

Closed my X account a couple days ago. He's truly gotten out of control and my feed had become riddled with conspiracy theory fear-mongering garbage. Good riddance. I encourage others to leave as well, it's the only way he's held accountable unfortunately.

Many good points on here. I'd also suggest watching "Get Me Roger Stone". In it, Stone basically details his secrets to getting the 'silent majority' to pay attention. He says that fear is a bigger motivator than love. He says that the uneducated can't tell the difference between entertainment and politics. There's so many lines in that documentary that will make your ears perk up and be like, damnt, this was exactly how they did it.

I was watching the freak outs on Twitter last night and being like, if the 'feds' were really coming to shut you down, you'd be off the air already or we'd see it go down. He probably got a letter or something saying it's a possibility and everything else was over exaggerated and in his head.

I live in San Diego and go to Mexico often, and this story has made me so sad to see. I was just in Ensenada last month, and it's such a beautiful city and we enjoyed our trip exploring great food and taking in music. Unfortunately, stories like this from a couple bad actors will dissuade thousands from experiencing a great place. It's a damn shame and it's hard to swallow that this could've been me and my friends who were the unlucky ones. I feel for their families so hard in all of this.

My guess is it's probably not extremists per se, but rather corporations that are scared of offending anyone and being the focus of the internet's bad or uproar of the day. I will say though, at my last company, the younger generation was pushing all this stuff super hard. While I agree with plenty of the general purpose stuff, I'm like, can't we just do our jobs and not sit in meetings all day about what our job is supposed to be?

To be fair, calling San Francisco's public transportation 'excellent' isn't something I can agree with after living there for over a decade haha. But it is better than nothing 🤷
