And they're squashing a lot of that in other countries, and that scares the shit out of me.
That's what I was really scared about in this last election because โ
Because I'm friends with Elon, I knew what was going on in Twitter behind the scenes.
I knew how the government was stepping in and silencing posts.
I'm like, this is fucking dangerous, man.
Because if they get a real grip on social media and you no longer can protest about things and express yourself about things, including a lot of things that happen to be true, like during the COVID crisis.
And that's what people have to realize when it's so easy when, especially in this country, all tech is primarily left.
And they have a very strong ideology, this very progressive left-wing ideology, which is all over the tech world.
And when they were in control and they were silencing things, I think the attitude was this is good because we're right and we need to stop these fascists or whatever we want to call them.
But the problem is then what if the fucking right gets in place and they use the same rules that you used on them?
Now we don't have a country anymore.
Now we're fucked.
Now we're just like every other dictatorship.
And that acceptance and love is empowering both to you and to them, whereas hate of other people, I mean, it might motivate you in some way, but it's also crippling.
What is that old expression that anger is the emotion that poisons the vessel that holds it?
Mm-hmm.
You're wasting energy.
You're wasting life.
And you're wasting your potential because you're thinking only in terms of negative all the time.
