That's not what I see at all. Because X is all about who you follow, by only following actual real people, you get actual real people posting, or responding. If you are a blue checkmark, or a Premium account (yes, this costs money) you have great filters available, and the experience is very much like the old internet, where you know who you are communicating with.
And you have your own killfile lists, (bozo filters), which was essential back in the UseNet days.
You youngsters have no idea what the old Usenet world was like. Most of the woke would have a heart attack, especially when they find out it's not possible to censor everything you don't agree with.
Unlike the old Usenet days, I can text, call or videocall anyone on X now. Or join a group. With the ability to upload massive files, long videos, audio or other data, X is becoming a www that is slightly outside of the old www
The haters and naysayers are on the outside, telling everyone how X is doomed, or it sucks, while on X, nobody gives a single fuck about any of that.
But I digress ...

It's always been like that. You just never noticed. You could never notice before.
There was never "the other side" to compare it with

You really are a master at making yourself look like a clueless ignoramus, aren’t you?
You post these stupid things thinking you’ve achieved some gotcha moment in which glaring contradictions are laid bare. But most of the time, you haven’t — you’ve just made yourself look ignorant and uninformed, and too lazy to do a little digging to verify whether the things you post actually do reflect contradictions.
Here’s a pull quote form the cited NBC article, an article I’m sure you never bothered to actually read:
Quote:
Conditions in refugee camps and detention centers can lead to undervaccination and the spread of infectious disease, Spiegel noted. "It’s not migrants or migration itself that is spreading disease. It may be the situations that they are in and the lack of access to basic care that may exacerbate the situation," he said.
|
In other words, both quotes actually reflect reality, but each in its own particular context. CONTEXT is so often the key to understanding many thigs.

Re: It's not just Peacegirl, and it's not just you
Didn't somebody famous once say something like, "My Kingdom for Context." ?
Or, was that a Horse?
I can never keep track.

People online are calling for a boycott of Tyson Foods brands over claims that it is hiring “illegal immigrants” in the midst of layoffs. But those claims are false.

No, Tyson Foods is not hiring ‘illegal immigrants’ while laying off U.S. workers | kvue.com
Quote:
In recent days, there has been a lot of misinformation in the media about our company, and we feel compelled to set the record straight. Any insinuation that we would cut American jobs to hire immigrant workers is completely false.
Tyson Foods is strongly opposed to illegal immigration ....Today, Tyson Foods employs 120,000 team members in the United States, all of whom are required to be legally authorized to work in this country.

Liberal moonbat:Bringing millions of people into a country, with no vaccination history, or any history at all really, and moving them all over the country, that isn't a problem.
The problem isn't the millions of unvaccinated, it's the conditions they are in.
