Elon will unban Nick Fuentes

It's been full of people like him for a long time, to the point that they shape much of the conversation there, but many of you still treat it like it's the news.

Fuentes is as entitled to a platform as anyone else.  If you don't like what he says, don't follow him. The people tearing civilization apart on our campuses are all on social media platforms.

If anything is tearing our civilization apart, it's the platforms themselves. All of these social platforms amplify the extreme and the grotesque, whether it's Nick Fuentes on Twitter, Doreen on Reddit, or Mr. Beast on YouTube.

When we use them, we're effectively giving "write permissions" on our brains to tech magnates who have repeatedly proven they cannot be trusted. We're in the midst of a global lobotomy, and we're letting their algorithms pick who gets to operate on us.

I know that a lot of you think of X/Twitter as fundamental to following politics online, but this is an important reminder of what it is (and what you are buying into every time you use it). You may as well be on a chan board or KF.
