Conservatives outraged over old tweet from Twitter CEO quoting 'The Daily Show' (mashable.com)

The world keeps seeking axis for radicalization.

(I don't think this is a uniquely conservative problem. Not related here really, but space for ambiguity, un-knowing seems scarcer.)


"Not all users named rektide are missing the point"

Look, I didn't say it, it was just a joke I quoted someone else saying, so now you can't respond to me as if I said it, or the fact that I quoted it. And anyone who points it out or responds to it, especially users named rektide, are radicalized. (Though I don't think this is uniquely a rektide problem.)


i am entirely completely unaware of what point you are trying to make. in the first, & in your after.

i am not really very offended by the joke at the heart of this. i think it is a fairly accurate & truthful & not really a joke at all.

i have a really really hard time parsing your cryptic texts & i would like you to make some clearer more discussable points, if you have commentary to offer. to me, there's a basic parallel, a call that we have to differnetiate, showing that when we dont, we fall to primitive extremism. this seems fair & due & respectable.


I hope this new CEO truly knows what he signed up for! I don’t envy the guy!
