Liberals are freaking out because it appears Elon Musk is taking over Twitter. Their fear is not so much that there will be a right wing bias, but rather, that there won’t be any bias at all. An ‘even playing field, they complain, is inherently bias towards right wingers. And in a sense, they are right, let me explain.
Elon Musk Owns Libs On Twitter – Why Even Playing Field is Bias Against The Left
Liberals are freaking out because it appears Elon Musk is taking over Twitter. Their fear is not so much that there will be a right wing bias, but rather, that there won’t be any bias at all. An ‘even playing field, they complain, is inherently bias towards right wingers. And in a sense, they are right, let me explain.
While I hesitate to break down every argument by every right winger as truth, and every argument by every liberal as fiction, for the sake of this video let’s just say that conservative arguments are grounded in truth and modern-day liberal arguments are meant to conceal that truth, as it distrupts their progressive world view. Which is to say, liberals don’t make arguments. They obfuscate. The censor. They ban. They lie. They decieve. Instead of attacking the ideas they attack the person expressing the ideas.
Backed by corporate media, global institutions and social media giants – they’ve gotten away with it.
But the problem with this is that it’s made them weak. While right wing populists have had to deal with deplatforming, media distortion and personal attacks, Democrats get a pass. Even the Hunter Biden story was suppressed BY THE FBI before an election.
The old habit of Republicans saying, “Liberals get away with everything. Imagine if a conservative did that” has become a meme because it’s simply not the world we live in and constantly bringing up this point is weak and futile. You could say this about anything, anywhere and any time because libs are never held to the same standards as conservatives.
But on the flip side, it has made them soft. They can’t argue their way out of a wet paper bag. Debate moderators are either leftists or center left. An even playing field is simply an unfair advantage for conservatives.
Enter Elon Musk buying Twitter.
New York Times Critic and best selling author Don Winslow expressed his concern on Twitter:
*IF* Musk gets control of Twitter
And Zuckerberg has control of Facebook
And CNN is under new Republican backed management
We have a massive problem
And do not listen to anyone who tells you differently.
CNN is still slanted to the left and Zuck is basically responsible for Biden winning the election – but it can be argued that both have taken a more moderate tone as of late – if for no other reason that the general population is not exactly thrilled with what they are seeing by the Biden administration, left wing activists, Covid crazies and the rest as of late.
But Elon is a big problem for Liberals. A huge problem. He has expressed approval of the job Governor Ron DeSantis has done – even going as far as saying he’d lean towards him righ now as a potential Presidential candidate. And while he has his share of haters, Elon is recognized world wide, he is the richest man in the world and all-in-all he is a moderate. Sure, you can call him center right and in the modern-day he probably is. But….this is the problem. The left lost Elon. A moderate. And he’s not the only one.
We’ve seen Jeff Bezos become vocal in his criticism of the Biden Administration. Bezos is a leftist. You can call him center left. But he too seems to not be feeling as comfortable in those shoes as he once did.
The reasons are as explained above. The left is not making arguments to win people over. One side can only rig the game so much and push ideologies that don’t reflect the general populations worldview so far, until the moderates on their side begin to say, “ENOUGH.”
My center left friends have been telling me for YEARS now that I need to chill out. That the pendulum swings and eventually it will swing back to the right side again. And for years I’ve told them their side is nuts and that’s not an argument to appease my anger at the deceivers. But, with the aquisition of Twitter looming, perhaps the pendulum is on it’s way to approaching the center line. And while many liberals will hang onto the existing power structures for dear life, the gravity of the situation may ultimately lead to their reckoning. And for me, it can’t come soon enough.
