Hey this is tom and we got a big problem right now. The whole twitter deal is basically going sideways and not from the corporatey side. That obviously is going to work itself out. I mean nobody has an interest for this deal not to go through.
I believe the deal is 100 happening, even though ellen took a few shots at the current chief legal officer or whatever she is. I don't know, and they might say that this is a breach of their own agreement. Can't basically talk trash about them. I mean what's their interest, let's say they pursue this: do they really want to cancel the deal and not sell? At 54.20? I mean the deal will go through.
In my opinion, the problem with the whole twitter deal isn't the corporate side. The problem is the whole discussion on twitter right now, which kind of ironically people miss the whole point of this. The whole point of why elon purchased. This is because it was one side was getting to talk their piece, their narrative, and if you went sideways from that narrative, they shut you up so he's buying the platform to release this.
However, much like in different situations when you have a victim and that victim is looking to lash out, the counter reaction can be quite severe and what's happening. Right now is that people are talking about. Oh, this is the end of the woke. Now we're back and they're missing the point, if you think about the whole twitter takeover by elon, as defeating the walk and getting the whatever the right back on twitter.
That goes against everything. Elon is trying to do this, isn't about the woke, the left, the right, the middle, the giraffes, the men, the women, it's not about that. The whole idea is, but nobody having a monopoly. It's about everybody sharing the stage having the same amount of voice.
Nobody is deemed the truth, and somebody deemed misinformation, basically, when you're trying to shut people up, because for a long time they've been shutting you up, you're, just as bad as them think about it. The whole idea of democracy, the whole idea of an absolute freedom of speech is for you to be able to respect opinions that make you mad. It's not about you listening to people who agree with you, let's call them echo chamber, my guy. That's not! Freedom of speech, the whole idea of freedom of speech, is you being able to sit in the same room with somebody? Here's something that makes you triggered, as i don't want to say, makes you triggered as and you being able to sit there tolerate it, and let him finish what he has to say without interrupting him, without punching him in the nose.
That's the whole idea! Now here's my two cents about we've seen this before, for example, with the whole me too movement right, something that started off amazing. It should have been on a long time ago and it completely spiraled out of control. If you don't agree with me, unsubscribe no problem, you don't have to agree with me, but that's how i feel about it. The same thing happened with cinema in cinema, women were misrepresented for a long time. What happened? The opposite happened. One side is getting misrepresented and the other side is basically saying: well, we don't have any cool male characters anymore in in in films. Sorry, it's just this very specific narrative where only female characters get the leads, and i mean as a dad of two girls. I kind of agree with that.
I mean cinema has become a little bit of trash. It's the same narrative push so whenever you're trying to compensate for something there's a very dangerous situation where you can overcompensate and have fear like it happened with me too, like it happened with cinema and i'm sorry for my bad english and my mistakes, i mean this Is my first language and i'm not editing this? This is completely raw, but i'm saying the same thing can happen with twitter. The same mistakes can happen. If we, the people who come back twitter and basically say hey, you all have been basically setting the narrative you'll.
Better sit the down and we're going to be dominating the platform from now on, that isn't absolute freedom of speech that isn't what elon is pushing for. I just want you to know that the whole idea is to fix something. That's been broken for a long time as somebody who came from outside the us. I've seen this happen, and it was painful for me to see this happen where the ability of people in america to disagree with each other and have a meaningful discussion talk about points.
They disagree with each other without screaming at each other, without blocking each other without punching. Each other has basically died. There is no way in america anymore to talk to each other about things we disagree about, for example, politics, for example, gender stuff right, for example, um. Pretty much anything that has to do with the the way we want to live our lives.
So if we disagree, we watch different television shows. I watch fox or i watch cnn, my friend or my neighbor. He watches the other show either focus cnn. I basically block who i don't want to hear to on twitter and i never see their opinions and even worse.
These platforms won't even show me their stuff because they know it will make me upset and why make me upset right. I want to stay on the platform right more ad revenue, so they're going to show me things. I agree with, and basically we've been living in echo chambers for a very, very, very long time. Please do not support people who support turning twitter into a different echo chamber.
The whole idea is to free up the platform. Let you hear things that i know you deep inside and redevelop reintroduce the ability of our society to talk to each other on things. We don't agree with and have a handshake at the end of it basically like in a good fight. Come shake the hand of your opponent say.
Thank you. We agree to disagree. I appreciate you telling what you feel i feel differently, but it's okay, we'll talk about it, some more all the best, instead of turning it into this dehumanization right now, when you look at it, you basically see people that dehumanize the other party. If they don't agree with you, then they basically reduce to rubble. I don't think that should be the case. So in my view, let ilan do his thing and understand that the idea here isn't to punish a certain group. Even though they've been misbehaving, even though they acted like even though they abused their power when they had, it doesn't mean that you should be the same. In fact, you can prove that you're better by actually allowing them to have a voice.
Just like you and elon said the same thing, if you don't agree with me, look at what elon is saying ellen said specifically that i hope my worst critics stay on the platform once i own it. I hope my worst critics stand the platform once i own it. It's exactly the point. Don't forget.
Why he's doing that now? I know a lot of you will unsubscribe because of this video, because i talked about politics and gender and stuff like that. So be it. I'm good with that. No problem, we can agree to disagree.
I still love you. I still respect you all the best.
The irony locked inside the statement – "I don't care what you think – you're wrong."
Being "united" does NOT mean we all think the same way about the same things. United means gathering a group of diverse thinking people who can cooperate on a common goal for the benefit of the group over the desire of an individual. Why must we wait for a war to respect those who thought differently, yet willing gave up their lives for the betterment of the community – THAT'S FREEDOM.
The whole idea is to STOP cancel culture. People should have the right say what they want no matter if it's against your feelings, beliefs, thoughts and opinions. I think the biggest issue will be the hate speech but then again how can you censor someone's thoughts which will come out as speech. In my eyes it's a great situation to see who's who and how people actually truly think and feel. No more hiding, come out and be your TRUE SELF! IM HERE FOR IT!!❤
People have been silenced. They are going to run their mouths. Better strap on some man parts there guy.
Yep buying a company, so they don't investigate you. Bezo got wopost and elon will have Twitter.
Twitter needs to unblock everyone but must use a fact-checker on trump and co and punish racist, homophobic……
That’s the issue nowadays with people. Everyone feels that they have all the answers and can’t let anyone think differently from them.
We can All help Elon, just open a Twitter account and start using it as soon as Elon gets control !! We are so many Elon supporters that we can make A BIG difference !!!!
Just by peeps speaking their mind, you can see who is able to think and those who can't!
The arena for public voice, is a dangerous place to enter without erudition!
Addle brained peeps need to study and research your thoughts. All you remedials…DITTO!!!
No one will unsubscribe – We all agree with you – we are all sitting in our adidas tracksuits agreeing with you. What is this echochamber you are talking about? 🙂
Totally agree with you. Although some on the right see the even playing field as a huge W after complete domination by the left on social… but others are taking it way too far and I hope they come back down to earth.
Terrific video Tom! Beautifully expressed concepts in support of humanity, tolerance, respect and caring appreciation of all. If only we could behave toward each other in the same manner. Thank You again for all you do.
Preach tom! It's not about revenge! Honestly what i'm excited about new twitter is there will be a new rising generation of edgelord and trolling, millenials/zoomers are educated in such a PC culture that i genuinely feel bad for them not experiencing the wild west of the internet. I'm not saying that's good but PC culture internet not good either, so hopefuly we got somewhere in between. Anyone excited with new twitter too?
You are missing a big point. Free Speech by itself already moves the balance much further away from the Woke. Because now they have to handle counter arguments which they can't. No one is talking about censoring the woke. It's always the other way around.
sad that you will try to both side this as freedom of speech. . There is a concentrated effort by certain factions to push misinformation. with vaccines with race issues and with politics. misinformation is dangerous. Twitter did not ban people for freedom of speech, they banned those who pushed misinformation and also those who traded in hate speech
Tom, I couldn’t agree with you more. Maybe it’s just the immigrant perspective, but we as a society have learned how to preach tolerance and understanding but completely forgotten what it actually means in our daily lives, IMHO. Anyway, keep up the good work and peace, from a fellow Michigander!
folks, don't leave the channel. tom has proved his level headedness over and over. even a hopeless cynic like me can see this man is truthful, open minded, and informed.
Nash, love your videos but you are beeing completly naif about this. Just ask yourself.. why Elon wants twitter? Its not about freedom of speech. Nothing to do with that! Now, check all other companies Elon has and ask yourself.. what they all have in common with twitter? If you understand that you understand why Elon wants twitter. And.. its genious, but dangerous.
Ahhhh my man you listened to me and called a priest. You see that last hanging cup is not moving anymore.
great video Tom! Bring back the art of debate and allow equal opportunity for all that choose to speak to do so freely and without censorship. This is the way 💙
No. We have been living in a world where the maniac owners of the media are telling us what to get angry about. The tactic is to get you to have an emotional response over a made-up situation they promote. You have to always get to the root of the problem and the root of the problem is "who owns the media?" Elon asked that very question and he found his answer by the HATE responses he received. You know who owns the media owns the minds of the general population. And you know who "owns" the media. You know it. I know it. We all know it.
The deal will go through, but Elon will struggle to capture the algorithm in its original form. Hopefully security have been sent in and Twitter staff have presented with legal letters regarding damage to company assets. We now hear that Biden is creating a Ministry of Truth. He's clearly not read George Orwell. That will be used to step on any attempts to balance the narrative.
Far left is way too upset and the right is way too excited. Hopefully both sides will be equally disappointed in the results.
Mis info is simple facts are facts. We seeing around the world how mis info can really hurt countries.. I’m not sure this the hill. But we will see
The problem is that a 5% lunatic fringe are being artificially inflated, as dominant, correct and representative of the majority left and right. What they mean by, we're back and that it's the end of the woke mob, is that reality and truth, from the centre right and left, will be allowed to dominate in debate and cultural progression, by virtue of critical truth.
Tom, do you have some specific examples of those on the right who want to block those on the left from saying what they think?
Feel free to leave my channel if you disagree, but I think it would be great if we can all get used to listening to opinions that we don't agree with, so I hope you chose to stay.
