    As you should. We should also question the motives of anyone who seeks to maximize this sort of thing.

    Portland wasn’t the only city to have “protests”. But I know, violence is the point.

    You have all seen pictures and video footage over the years. I don't know what you think you have to gain by denying property damage.

    Is anybody denying that there was property damage? Or even that property damage in protest of police brutality is bad?

    All I've seen people say is that the extent of property damage that actually occurred was nowhere near as high as some people might claim.

    UA and FF definitely would have been the people complaining about MLKs marches being too disruptive.

    According to the right MLK was against the marches and claimed it was racist to try and give black people rights they did not earn. It is all the libruls who are the racists who point out racism because they are racists. MLK told us all to live peacefully together and that protesting unfair treatment should not be done because it makes whypipo feel discriminated against.

    We all should know UA and FF are the only people not racist enough to know the truth behind MLK wanting freedom for whypipo to be in the Klan and Nazis.

    Here's an interesting article about the Twitter Files that Musk, strangely, hasn't shared on Twitter, even though he gave the reporter access to them.
    More at the link.

    Point of order:

    The motivation of trolling is to provoke constant, impassioned response.

    Which UA is certainly providing on the last couple of pages here.

    Thus, if indeed this is an instance of a "troll game" it is not, in observable fact, "weak"

    Musk needs to be able to curate your feed in order to drive engagement so is taking away the tools users need to do it themselves.

    I knew a guy who claimed he wrote a paper on UFOs that assembled all the "evidence" and it "totally blew his professor's mind".
    I always found that the most chilling detail.
    The possibility there are professors out there getting their minds blown by UFO legends.
    I really fucking hope he was Santos-ing me.
    :sigh:
