"Dems are the real insurrectionists" taking the rounds again and all some homeslices can manage is try to tut tut over the feelings of a website.
Question.

Do you think that "a website" exists on its own? Did you know that actual human beings create and operate websites?

https://twitter.com/

Huh. Links to twitter, does not redirect to anything other than twitter.

But yes, this is the big take away of this thread and what the real focus needs to be on, not on attempts to falsely claim others are guilty of what the perpetrators are.

Actually, there can be a wrong name and an actual name. Its actual name is X, now. Twitter is no longer its name.

I feel as if it's a reasonable topic to have the discussion in, since the title calls it "twitter" in quotes. It's already brushing against the subject.

I think most people know it is called X, but they think it sounds dumb, or dont like Musk, or for whatever reason, they will call it Twitter forever. People in St. Louis do this with street names. Highway 40 became an interstate over 50 years ago, but hardly anyone calls it I-64.

Gobby, man, just stop.

People use "incorrect" terms literally all the time; it's part of language and nobody gives a shit - including you, most of the time. For some reason you've decided this one specifically means a lot to you. It's weird.

If I made a topic about how I got some Mickey Ds on the way home, would you throw a shit fit because it's ACTUALLY called McDonalds and I'm being disrespectful to everyone who works there?

I think most people are calling it Twitter because it's been Twitter for like 16 years and it's been X for half a year. In addition Twitter is just a much more "unique" name and x is a letter and people will generally lean towards using unambiguous names when they can.

Like yeah if people liked Musk more would they maybe make more of an effort to use the new name? Sure idk. I don't think hatred of him is the primary motivation though.

Like yeah it helps that Musk is

Interesting thing is that republican voters are not unified on Israel. There are the actual racist/ antiti semites (probably not a significant amount?) and then those who just hate that we're giving so much money to Israel. So I think this unequivocal support towards Israel no matter what could actually cost them votes

Though the same thing could be said from some democrat voters feeling alienated by the Israel bashing.

No surprise here. Ever since J6, conservative grifters have been calling everything an insurrection that involves more than 2 liberals meeting up at an event.

As for the twitter derailment, I find it amusingly ironic that somebody is getting hung up on the pettiness of calling it by the old name, when the very acquisition of said company was just that. Petty.

Elon Musk is a fundamentally unserious and disingenuous person who lit $40+ billion on fire for ridiculous reasons. So in that respect, I have absolutely no problem in still continuing to call it twitter.

Speaking as someone who does work for a company that still gets one of its stores called by 20+ year old names from 2-3 name changes ago... nah, I'm sure most of the employees don't give a fuck and would find you weird for stanning this bad for them on a random website, lol.
