@raphjd It would be heartwarming to see him defending kids against sexualization & mutilation, if he didn't seem like an unstable attention-whore.
Milo is another. Right about many things, but so what? Too much drama & self-centered. Next!

Well, that's one motive.
Musk has also said it's to clear out Old Twitter's child porn, to stop Old Twitter's nonstop election interference, to make money, and to unleash the global brain (increasing the interactions among us 8 billion humans who serve as the global brain's "neurons").
Which would make 5 motives, mostly good.
@MrMazda Well that was the marketing - "compassionate early parole for the non-violent".
I am no expert on this but when I say it made my jaw drop, mean that 1) reality is usually diff from marketing and 2) I was seeing reports that many violent had been released, some even terrorizing their previous victims.
But time is limited and I don't care to research it RN so won't provide more. You can win this "point" if you want.
I do want to challenge your sig, about the difference between suicide & martyrdom being just publicity. If we're talking criminals like suicide bombers or the Club Q shooter here, who prob did their crimes for a sense of power & fame (plus the self-destruction), OK fair enough.
But some martyrs are the real deal. That is: some people get tortured or murdered, quite against their wishes & deservings, because some other (evil) people couldn't tolerate their existence.
So the quote only works when you're talking criminals.
@MrMazda I like your realism & sense of justice. But I'm fine with letting this shooter off "easy" (ie. with execution).
True justice is a gift that keeps on giving. In this case, death penalty is deserved & everyone would win.
shooter wins because they were prob seeking death on some level, and def wanted to show off their power/importance, which death penalty would acknowledge
victim families "win", not really of course, but partial redress is better than none
society wins because shooter really is a threat and keeping them in prison for life really would take a lot of effort (& cost)
Should we execute people hardly ever, since mistakes happen? Of course.
Also, this discussion is moot because Colorado abolished death penalty in 2020, sigh.
@raphjd Did you know that in 2020, covid was used (by what type of people? guess) as an excuse to release tons of prisoners, way earlier than the most lenient rules allowed?
I'm not sure if death row / lifers were among those released. But if yes, it wouldn't surprise me, remember my jaw dropping at the time.
Point is, in Clown World 2022 a life sentence might not be all that you think it is.
@raphjd To look BEYOND the beard & bruises, here what I see in the photos. The shooter has:
Shooter still needs death penalty for the wanton murders, of course.
I just realized: Given the many Antifa-pedo overlaps, Elon's attacks on Twitter child porn - accounts & hashtags - MUST appear, to Antifa, as attacks on Antifa accounts & hashtags.
Of course Antifa go running to other libs "Elon shutting us down!"
And libs & Antifa define "democracy" as 1-party rule, themselves winning always, so...of course they go "Our democracy ending!"
I semi-got all that earlier, when posting the above cartoon...
what's different is that I just now put my mind in Antifa's shoes & grasped the mechanics.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
CNN Trans guest says that the shooter just can't be Trans - and says it in a brutally prejudiced, anti-Trans way.
Referring to a male-appearing photo of the shooter, the guest says "That's not a non-binary person because in no way, shape, or form could they appear as a woman the next day."
Thus, CNN Trans guest reduces the shooter to their mere appearance - in a photo. Denying that the shooter could ever feel differently from their appearance, or clean up & vary it the next day, or have self-determination, or take hormones.
To be clear: The shooting is a horrible tragic crime, I totally condemn it, put all blame on the shooter & hope for a death penalty.
The side issue, for here, is the "black hole" down which logic & reason have vanished.

Americans being insular - especially libs - it's easy to forget that world leaders were appalled when Old Twitter banned Orange Man.
Note to libs: Mexico's President is a socialist with brown skin. Under Woke rules, YOU ARE OBLIGATED TO BELIEVE & SUPPORT HIM.
@raphjd Speaking of which: twitter libs saying, the shooter changed gender merely for advantage.
Not seeing how that view gives away the game. How it sums up the entire Thing, of unstable privileged males claiming to be oppressed females then cleaning up on even more privilege, all sorts of awards or special treatment.
https://www.axios.com/2022/11/23/colorado-club-shooting-suspect-non-binary-attorneys-say
Shooter uses they/them/Mx.
Under Woke rules: MSNBC, CNN etc. been doing violence all this time by misgendering them.
@Rotron Elon is literally doing something big against child porn - an absolute hero - and you name-call him?
And not even skillfully. And on a site that bans child porn, consciously.
Wow. I mean............ really............ just wow. Wow wow wow.... wow.
https://community.gaytorrent.ru/topic/60456/new-twitter-cuts-child-porn
@raphjd Yup. https://twitter.com/againstgrmrs/status/1594552535456665600
Gays Against Groomers, "Elon says banning child sexual exploitation content on Twitter is his top priority. THANK YOU"
@Rotron said in Elon Musk restores Trump’s Twitter account:
My ideal government though is a technocratic one
Opposite of democracy.
Thank you for admitting it.
You seem to struggle with what democracy means so forgive my presuming to explain it to you.
It rests on 1) free speech 2) transparent, honest elections.
If you don't support both those things.... period, 100%, as absolutes, even when they give you results you dislike...then you don't support democracy.
Instead you support, for example, technocracy (dictatorship of the technocrats).
The monsters in our democracy, far from being Elon or Orange Man, are y'all libs supporting technocracy in practice.
It's why y'all libs loved Covid times so much. Drunk with power, y'all libs locked people down, forced vaxxes on them, made people stay masked & apart - but with cute exceptions for Grindr & for Antifa protests, of course - and denounced relatives & family.
All mistakes. All have made covid worse. But typical of technocracy. In technocracy, beneath the pretensions and fake science-y announcements, wielding power for its own sake - is the point.
@raphjd Please note that Trump isn't actually back on Twitter.
It's only that 1) he could, 2) old tweets visible.
What's great about his old tweets is, anyone can see him calling for PEACE, PEACEFUL PROTEST, PEACE, RESPECT THE LAW & COPS, PEACE - as to Jan 6.
In other words, the Jan 6 Kangaroo Committee's fake tales are blown out of the water. Just by restoring his old tweets.
@raphjd And imagine: still no word about who leaked the (anti-)Roe decision this year.
Libs don't seem interested.

If true, it would mean: Old Twitter, with all its virtue-signaling & Woke censorship, was in fact a vehicle for child porn.
Not just unfair but misogynist, anti-female: https://www.libsoftiktok.com/p/biological-male-who-was-72nd-on-boys?r=nvp2b
And it's happening all over America - many other instances.
In the name of 2020s woke-Trans. (But not that all T support it! Many don't.)
1990s Trans movement: Let us be free to live as individuals. No street bashing, no job or housing discrimination. Give us self-defense (eg. gun ownership) and other reasonable self-determination.
2020s Woke-MAP-Queer-Trans movement: Let unstable males into any & all female safe spaces, wrecking them. Let unstable males wreck female sports, steal Women's awards, compel/dictate other people's speech, and groom kids for sexual abuse, mutilating surgeries (perhaps), future prostitution & sex addiction, etc.
Supporting the one is a no-brainer.
Opposing the other, also a no-brainer.
What's bad about Caitlyn Jenner is that she works both.
@raphjd Only one reason he'd refuse: Because FBI did.
FBI indeed was the driving force behind the "January 6" non-events (total nothingburgers apart from the sad case of Ashli Babbitt alone).
Just as with Whitmer.
Ray Epps.
@raphjd Opinions can vary - it's cool.
I am 100% opposed to drag shows for kids.
First, remember, they're kids - Captive audience, don't know any better, can't escape, easily misled, very easily scarred.
Second - Drag is just gay blackface.
Would you oppose minstrel shows for kids? I would.
Minstrelsy was rarely, if ever, openly hostile to blacks. It was always "just fun - what the heck is wrong with you? We're only having good clean fun, killjoy." What made it racist was
Re-read the above switching to female stereotypes displayed & lampooned by male performers.... "with love", of course, "in fun".....do you see how drag is the same as minstrelsy? A deeply sexist form of entertainment.
If you're an adult, OK drag out, "you do you". After all, libs still blackface. Here's Justin Trudeau, Canada PM & world-famous lib, in blackface: https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/canada-votes-2019-trudeau-blackface-brownface-cbc-explains-1.5290664
But with kids, yeah there's that & the added curse of the sexualization/grooming thing.
The drag queen's name is what it is - "Pussy Galore" or whatever - I know they're more original & varied than that - but always a sexual innuendo - no getting around that part.
And it gets worse from there: https://twitter.com/uhler_jon/status/1583313203521794048
The whole point of drag-for-kids is, inject extreme sexual awareness into young kids, breaking down societal boundaries around sex & age. Some call that activism, others (rightly) call it grooming.
It can never be made family-friendly. Or not-sexist either.
