Here we disagree. Trump criticizes. As people - hate is on both sides, and no side seems to be less hateful.
Thanks for being respectful and discussing with me !I think there's more and more independents...
Yeah they do, in every way. Just look at what the senate did with the 2 impeachments of Trump. They wouldn't even take up the case to convict and did everything they could to block it. (and those impeachments articles were valid) And that's just one example -- there are plenty more mundane ways they supported Trump. That may be changing now, and I very much hope it is, but they're all still scum to me until they actually try working for the U.S. again.
At least we agree on one thing.
I went the other way, I was republican before switching to independent, but that was a long time ago when they started the massive tax cuts for the rich and "trickle down" theory. I still voted republican until after Bush the II.
I try. It's really a hard topic to discuss -- we all have skin in the game...
You succeeded well compared to the user above your quote here who said that to me.
You wasted this "gem" here. You should have used that one over on Mastodon, you would have gotten hundreds of likes and re-toots from the hive mind.
Since we're doing pictures now let me ask you if this picture from a left-wing ideology company sounds tolerant and diverse?
The problem that is being shown here is that you - along with everyone else who finds * Lives Matter offensive - is that you assume that <insert color here> Lives Matter means ONLY <insert color here> Lives Matter. That assumption to assume that is wrong on your part, and risky at that, because it also serves to show how close minded one can be regarding <insert color here> Lives Matter.
Additionally, when it comes to the intent behind it, you see where one is having a major problem, while some of the other tends to show bias and hate. Yet you want to put the "left wing ideology company" on blast while not looking at the other movement's motives.
Again, make sure the other yards are clean before complaining about those you don't like.
BL.
What views does the White Lives Matter movement espouse? Do they advocate for tolerance?

Mastodon has toots and retoots??? They could have come up with something better I'm sure!!! I haven't tried it yet...
Precisely right. Trying to smooth things over. I am pretty confident it was Tim that requested this meeting and not the other way around.Timmy didn't want no smoke with Twitter 2.0
"World's richest man"
Subsidized by government for years.
Made many false promises to investors about his company roadmaps.
Has to kiss the ring of his Saudi investors.
Has to kiss the ring of China's central bank who he owes billions to.
And when he tries to get cocky with the godfather of the tech industry he has to kiss the ring again.

Except that pure logic completely destroys your "confidence" in this "meeting".
Twitter is causing him to lose millions per day. It's hemorrhaging money. So if he were this "self made billionaire" as you make him out to be, it should be putting his money into saving the company he bought. Instead, he is going to the well (read: someone else's checkbook) to return some semblance of money to him to stem the hemorrhaging. A Billionaire shouldn't need to do that.
But I digress; everything that goes against your views (no matter how close minded those views of yours may be) is "fan fiction".
BL.
Free speech is a human right that predates all government. Governments can choose to recognise it or not, but they can't provide it.
OK, Nick Fuentes' point of view is completely detestable and antithetical to the values that underpin western society. Totalitarianism is wrong whether it comes from the left or the right.
This doesn't all have to be a power game between left and right. And I think you'll find that if you just let Nick Fuentes speak, he and his ideas will be debated back into oblivion and he will be pushed to the fringes and eventually ignored. Politicians who want any chance of election will have to distance themselves from him and his ideas.
A bad idea suppressed is more powerful than a bad idea debated.
Isn’t that what your doing right now? Everything that goes against your views is fiction
Please point out any part of my post that is fiction. You have my leave and invitation to do as such.
BL.
Please point to one example where i said “fan fiction” in response to something that was a fact. I’ll wait.
A reminder, something isn’t a fact just because your people say it is. A real fact please.
He had daddy write him a check. Musk started with only $2000 in the bank for his first "venture", and was given a check by his father to the tune of $20000 to get his venture started.
That is not self made.
BL.
Even if this is true (which I have not independently confirmed) your point is that by turning $20000 into hundreds of billions of dollars, he is not a self made billionaire? Interesting take there.
I wonder how many of us could turn 20k into hundreds of billions.
You must not have looked far enough. This was with Zip2, which he started in 1995.

The CEO has been the world’s richest man and played a key part in some of the most well-known technology companies around today

From Wiki:
Oh, and it was directly from Musk himself:
Care to do the math?
If someone is a "self made" of anything, they did it with their own hands, with no funding or help from anyone. Musk had a group of venture capitalists start him out, plus a 5-figure check from his dad. That does not make anyone self made.
Oh, that is all in response to:
My leave is taken.
