Twitter is not a platform, it is Judo propaganda

 

The way in which giant tech propaganda outfits like Twitter, Facebook and Youtube manage to be truly dangerous and dishonest to half its users, is by pretending more or less to be even handed about collectivist vs individualist, communist vs. liberal ideas while in reality, getting liberal or individualist people to burn out all their time and effort creating, thinking and writing to counter communist and fascist ideas, but making sure they cannot reach a wider audience than those deeply already committed to those ideas. And often not even reaching them. 
The people who are so effective they are, one might say, ‘breakthrough posters’ like James Woods or Donald Trump, just get banned, as the blowback from being banned is less dangerous to the collectivists than the deceptive ‘shadow banning’ using all kinds of mathematical techniques to limit the visibility of a counter-revolutionary idea.
