And they have the ability to protect their whisper from the noise of millions screaming trolls outside. Twitter isn't built for this. It never was, but now it's even less built for it. Twitter is currently seemingly 90% hot takes and hustling marketers doing those cringe "AI is crushing your industry, see 20 reasons why" type of threads.

      When your immediate circle is in constant panic about a terrible inhumane, immoral enemy that is, reportedly, destroying them and their way of life, I invite you to stand up and say "can't we just get along with them?" This is a cultural, emotional, informational bubble, and when you're inside it there's only one correct way to act, and that is to virtue signal that you hate the other bubble. In other words, it's not that simple.
