There’s a thesis here I can’t get my head around which seems to be when powerful people do things you don’t like, don’t speak out. Don’t speak truth to power, defer to it and let power manipulate the world without criticism.
And when you do speak out against it, the person with power is victimized.
- clnq 4y agoThere is speaking truth to power, and there is speaking truth to Twitter's CEO. The latter is neither effective nor impactful. Even if hypothetically we could have some say in how Elon runs Twitter, the world won't be much better or worse if a bird app is run into the ground. It's a great opportunity to pick one's battles.
