    For context, this was back during that stupid time when people could buy Xitter authentication.

      Xitter

      My apologies, but it’s Twitter for as long as that cock-sucking, ball-gargling, butt-plug-looking, fascist-asshole-of-a-non-tax-paying illegal immigrant piece-of-shit anal-bead-wannabe motherfucker who needs to get the Hell out of our goddamned country is alive and walking free.

            He’s a desperate autistic nerd who has unhealthy attitudes about love and companionship, everything he does is a cry for attention. He’s honestly one of the cringiest people imaginable to me. He 100% needs people to think he’s cool, which is as un-cool as it gets. The man is failing middle school social dynamics. Hell, elementary school dynamics. He’s just so rich he can barge in anywhere he wants and force himself on a conversation.

            It’s pathetic. He’s going to go down as one of the biggest fucking losers in history.

            And for the record, I’ve got nothing against autistic nerds. I may well be one myself, and I know many. But this tool embodies the worst of it run rampant with power, and should serve as a cautionary tale.

            …I’m kinda glad Lemmy is small right now because I have reason to be more cautious with my speech on public media these days. Although, if course, this will be used to crucify me later if needed.

                Tbh people always talk about his autism, but autism is utterly irrelevant. The things he does have nothing to do with autism, and we don’t even need to get into the autism defense for that matter.

          Parody accounts. Both tweets are in fact real tweets. As we can see.

          Actually strike that. I don’t know that. There are ways to alter pictures so I guess it could be fake in that they never were twated out by anyone on the site.

        I mean, yeah, but Chiquita/United Fruit are on a whole different level. They’re the ones who single-handedly destabilized a whole region, funding multinational death squads, coups and shit. That’s the whole joke.

        Edit: to be honest, anyone unfamiliar with this period should brush up on it. This was the last time the US truly functioned as an empire (or tried to), and the key arguments are going to be the same now as they were then.
