This is so true. I see many accounts with at least 80% of tweets being irony/sarcasm/mockery. The ratio of falsable unambiguous tweets is very low.

No wonder some of the most popular Twitter accounts on here cloak themselves in layers of irony. Much harder to have convictions and stand for something. https://twitter.com/balajis/status/1281719296796680192

#HongKong was doing a good job of not having local cases of #COVID19, only imported cases (people coming back from abroad). And then, all of a sudden...

I remember thinking Assange had gone tinfoil-hat conspiranoid when he wrote about this. He didn't provide much substance back then. It was either his intuition or rumors.

Agreeing with protest movements has more to do with your personality type than with whatever the protest is about. https://www.16personalities.com/articles/personality-types-and-protest-movements

”Govts can react very strongly during times of civil unrest, even ignoring their side of the rules in the [social] contract they agreed to and swore to uphold. The govt usually reacts the way a cornered animal would in order to protect their existence.”
Those angered believe in "From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs". Self-made people are self-reliant, with high ability, therefore need very little from others. So self-made people are expected to produce wealth for everyone but themselves.

In a society plagued by declining living standards & stagnating wages, I get why the rich are hated. I just don’t understand why the anger is directed towards people who are self-made, considering a substantial portion of the uber-rich have never worked a day in their lives.

What could possibly go wrong? My county, Santa Clara, is loosening COVID-19 restrictions while having record numbers of infections, record numbers of infection growth. Is insanity one of the side effects of COVID-19? If so, can officials please be tested? https://reb00ted.org/quick-notes/20200703-losening-when-record-cases/

8. So I bade my city farewell. As the plane took off the runway, I gazed down at the skyline I love so much for one last time. Should I have the fortune to ever return, I hope to still remain as I am: the same young man with these same beliefs. Glory to Hong Kong. THREAD ENDS.
