I'm not saying you do. I don't use Twitter anymore. What I was trying to say is that I find the state of the world worrying.

I looked a Bluesky but I noticed a lot of MAGA people trolling in the comments. Maybe they can be hidden with account settings probably but I haven't looked into that.

Sure. Maybe it's worrying though that social media is splitting on ideological lines. This didn't really used to be the case. Twitter was intended for everybody, so was Facebook, etc.

I don't think age makes people conservative, I think power makes people conservative. If you accumulate wealth and power then you may become conservative in order to protect your wealth from taxes.

Just as others in this thread have said, it's the "fuck you, I got mine" attitude.

 

Tsai, who left office in January, added: “A Ukrainian victory will serve as the most effective deterrent to future aggression.” This suggests Tsai believes that US military support for Kyiv... would help deter China from a cross-strait attack.
