But Democrats say that Antifa is "a myth, a fantasy, a figment of your imagination".

@Rotron Fake news alert!
The tweet image you post - Somebody's fake.
Future reference, the fact that it sounds so "on the nose" (for lib fears / fever dreams) is a clue.
As to the rest: Elon imposed 2-day suspensions - nothing more - on accounts who DELIBERATELY broke KNOWN, PRE-EXISTING terms of service, in doxxing-out real-time assassination coordinates on children. (Who happened to be Elon's children.)
Ask any administrator on this site, what they think. (Seriously. I'm curious. I have a guess.)
And funny how Twitter libs not giving the least crap about children, became an issue yet again, that day.
It's.....oh I don't know.... thematic.
P.S. Supposing everything you posted was true...... in that case it's only how 10000s of conservatives were treated on Twitter for years..
Sucks if shoe is on the other foot even a bit, eh?

The 20yo he threatened to sue (if Elon actually did) is the guy that says he will only stop posting the tracking info of Elon's plane if Elon gives him $50,0000 and a new Tesla Model Y.
That is the very definition of extortion.
Apparently, this came after the stalker attacked the car Elon's kid was in.
-
@raphjd oh yeah. The 20 yo explained his extortion plan on TV.
Interviewer asked if he shouldn't raise his price. He said, nah, $50k / a tesla is reasonable, he figures Elon might pay.
in Old Twitter employees sold/expedited the rare 'blue checks' for thousand$$. maybe corruption normal to some

@blablarg18 Yah. This is the reason why we must rely on valid news sources only. Always always verify news we read online. Only smart people do this. Those tweets we shared to me on another forum and shared them here.
@raphjd Extortion is never good. It's an evil trait. Apparently, the stalker attacking Elon's kid's car is a very effective way of swaying your target's decisions to your demands. Attacking your target directly may get you nowhere but attacking your target's family or loved ones is a guaranteed strategy that works. I have watched so many Korean series and movies that uses this and in our case as humans, our love for others surely is our greatest weakness.

@Rotron Nope! "Valid news sources" is subjective at best, but really authoritarian.
You can cram your "valid news sources". (Nothing personal.)
What we need to rely on is truth. Either something is real or it isn't.
When we disagree on what is real: that's debate.
You know... like a section called "Politics & Debate"
It reaches no conclusions. It has no deciding authority. That'ss how it should be.
As things get aired or claimed or argued, lurkers draw their own conclusions.
But fuck authority, self-appointed "I'm the valid news source" and the rest.
I'm old enough to remember libs with bumper stickers Question Authority.
It's been a shock, this last decade, to see these libs turn into commie authoritarians - or at very least, Stockholm Syndrome mewling colorless pussies - just because covid and Orange Man Bad and muh gubmint check.
Embrace disagreement.

Define valid news source... At this day and age, it's sad to say that much like us up in Canada, the mainstream media is nothing more but a propaganda puppet for the government. If it's not completely fabricated to cause outrage, it's at the very least incredibly biased, and only pushes the narrative that the real powers that run our countries want to push.
In other words, "valid news source" is laughable to say the least.
The only difference between martyrdom and suicide is press coverage! -
@MrMazda @blablarg18 This just shows that the political landscape on our end is quite different compared to your end. It's so much more complicated there. This I got to say also: "Why is there so much hate there when people already know the facts about things like being gay or LGBTQ in general?" We all know in our inner selves that being gay is never a choice. It's a preference we are born with (is that the right term for it?) Yet there is anti-LGBTQ. Yet they know that gay people existed even before these foolish idiots were born. For 300,000 years in fact. Do they have the proof that there were only straight people? And who even gave the labels straight and gay in the first place. This shouldn't have been. We don't have things like anti-LGBTQ here but we do have people who still consider us a minority but never things like group up and and form an anti-LGBT. It's like people who does these never went through proper life experiences, reject factual information or even education in general, no proper friends or went through mind-alternation. People are people. So what are they? This just ticked me. I know this one is on another thread.
In the case of valid news source, yes the political landscape is quite different there and this has used news source that were valid or even the authority before. Not that I would say it's 100% totally the other way here, I can not say the same for every other country here in our hemisphere but in mine valid media sources fight political misinformation or manipulation. There are those that play neutral too. Well that was before. Now in that age of the Internet people rely more from what they see and hear from their mobile phones and this has has definitely changed the battle ground. Just like that thing with Cambridge Analytica, FB, Twitter, TikTok and YouTube are now what people read and listen to. So yes, define valid news source. For me, if I hear something from my mom about something and she would even ask me to check if it's true; I would Google it and check proper news sources to fact check it. If you don't see one news on another proper news source and you only heard or saw it from social media, there's a very good chance it's not true.
Do you guys do the same? Tell us and make others learn.

@Rotron I don't know just how bad you have things in the United States, but here in Canada, that's a very dangerous line to walk. See, not that long ago here in Canada, we had the largest protest in Canadian history take place right in downtown Ottawa. Our "valid news sources" all were trying to downplay it, only delivering a sliver of the truth, while completely trying to spin everything else and dismiss it as being just a small thing, were trying to dismiss it completely, or were trying to pass the actions of only a very small number in that group as representing the values of the group as a whole, as it did not fall in line with the agenda that the government (or more particularly, the higher power that plays the government officials like puppets) was trying to push. On social media on the other hand, there were a plethora of live streams exposing this very thing. In many cases, the "valid news sources" were trying to push a narrative that simply did not exist, or that was seriously different from the actual reality, and had it not been for the many, many people who were live streaming what was actually happening to compare it to what the mainstream media was trying to push, this would not have been exposed nearly to the extent that it was, if at all.
The same thing happens in the United States, although to what degree, I do not know. It has been happening for some time now, but because these sources are said to have credibility in journalism (if you really want to call it that), people blindly buy into what they're trying to pedal, without realizing that these sources have now all been bought and paid for to push a narrative that fits their agenda, often without questioning it.
Another alarming issue we have with the other "alternative" sources such as Facebook and YouTube is that there have been a number of things now that I can think of off the top of my head where the "valid news sources" fell completely silent on, and sources like Facebook and Twitter actually took down content under the guise of it being "misinformation" simply because it did not fit the narrative that the government (who has effectively bought and paid for the mainstream media to be their propaganda mills) wanted to push.
One of the most powerful instances I can think of is a video titled "Died Suddenly", which is a well put together documentary done by a number of coroners who have banded together to speak out about new and interesting things that they're finding that they cannot explain, have never seen before the COVID vaccine came out, and have been told by their superiors to remain silent on. You can find it here:
https://rumble.com/v1wac7i-world-premier-died-suddenly.html
The interesting part about this documentary in particular is that I have a few coroner friends who I have shown this video to, who have all said they've been finding the exact same things in patients even here in Canada, but have been told to keep these findings hush hush. This video has been removed from Facebook and YouTube several times now under the guise of "false information", and yet the mainstream media in both Canada and the US are completely silent about its findings. It seems that freedom of speech only applies if the speech you are speaking falls in line with the agenda that the powers that really control the government are trying to push.
The whole situation surrounding this video and the lack of coverage in the mainstream media only further confirms my view that the mainstream media is but a propaganda mill that is intended to push a narrative as defined by their government officials who have bought and paid for them, and have also themselves been sold out to the highest bidder. Things like this are actually why the Canadian government is trying so hard to push bill C-10 to limit and censor things like social media because if things like this become too wide spread, it would seriously damage their plan to push the narrative that they want to push, especially if people are allowed to continue to express views (and even facts) that do not fit the narrative they want to push.
So yes... At this day and age, alternative information sources have unfortunately become a bit of a necessity in order to get to the truth, instead of just the heavily biased narrative that the powers that be want people to buy into. Simply put, alternative means of communication and sharing ideas have become necessary in more recent times in order to stop the propaganda and speak the actual truth.

@MrMazda This was somehow discussed to me in some way by my friends from Alberta. They're not fans of Mr. Trudeau. I'm not pretty sure what to say though. I've seen some of his townhalls, he's pretty okay to me but of course you guys know more about him. I'll check it out that link Mr. Mazda. Sorry for the late reply. I've been away from most online activity for the past two days, drunk from all the Christmas gathering here.
The Internet has brought us a lot of convenience but it really did a number on valid news sources. We have to be always vigilant on fact-finding moving forward and be on the smart side of things and fight for what's really right. Thanks for bringing this to light and will definitely take a look at it.
