THIS IS VENTING, A RANT,
AN EXPRESSION OF DISGUST
FROM A MAN WHO HOPED FOR "BETTER"
BUT WHO SAW ONLY FESTERING PILES OF "WORSE"
All:
I have closed my account on X. I just can't stomach the hate, the racism, the misinformation, and the blatant disinformation anymore. Elon Musk is using the platform to advance conspiracy theories, devalue truth, and put racist ideology in a positive light--and I shall not be part of it.
His assault on federal employees in the name of efficiency and waste reduction was an exercise in wanton destruction, tearing down organizations wholesale where slow, careful pruning should've been employed in order to ensure the continuation of key government services, but Musk seemingly lacks the ability to exhibit both restraint in his actions and basic human compassion for the thousands of federal workers he needlessly scapegoated and ushered out of employment.
And the lies... Is there "White genocide" in South Africa? No. Let me say that again: No. In fact, not just "no," but HELL NO. However, the truth that there isn't one won't satisfy those who baselessly accept Musk's (and Trump's) unfounded insistence that there is. In specific regard to Musk, he empowers White Nationalists because he acts like one. What he doesn't reveal is that his native South Africa has highly ineffectual police, some of the most brazen criminals on Earth, and a government that nervously walks a frayed tightrope crossing the various racial and ethnic factions that divide the nation. In truth, Black farmers are actually attacked more than White farmers, but Americans generally don't hear one damn thing about that--especially if one's primary source of information is the steaming cesspool of negativity and ignorance that is X.
Here is the truth: White Genocide in South Africa Debunked.
For those who are going to claim the above source is false, there are scores of others that pretty much say the same thing. No, it's not a "libtard" thing, it's not a socialist thing, and it's not a Bill Gates or George Soros thing. Hell, I was apparently and falsely accused of being the deepest of deep-red Republicans here on SpaceHey (click here for that story) simply due to my General Election analysis and prediction, so I'm the wrong person to accuse of such a thing.
JUST OPEN YOUR EYES—PLEASE!—AND READ FROM SOMETHING OTHER THAN A SITE THAT CONSISTENTLY VALIDATES YOUR BELIEFS!
LEFTISTS, WATCH SOMETHING OTHER THAN PURELY LIBERAL NEWS SOURCES!!!
CONSERVATIVES, WATCH SOMETHING OTHER THAN PURELY RIGHT-WING NEWS!
WE ARE BEING DIVIDED
FOR THE BENEFIT
OF THOSE IN POWER!
WAKE UP, AMERICA!!!
Ahem. Now that I've regained my composure, I must state there is no saving X. Every attempt at reason taken by me and others, every try to bring truth and logic to conversations on X, and every expression of sanity results in naught but the grating sound of both racists and the willfully ignorant digging their heels deeply into the ground and bracing themselves to resist all efforts to reach the desiccated thing within each of their heads once called a brain.
I'm out.

I published a version of the above on Spacehey.
