"However Bad You Think X-Twitter Is, It’s Worse: It's not just that they are hypocritical and projecting. It's that contradictions will heighten to a point where honest discourse feels impossible."
I'm afraid we're probably well past that point. Cat in the blender likely already looks quaint.
If X-Twitter is so bad, then why use it? When does the evil exceed the good? The large number of people contributing insight in 'X' is good, but it provides a veneer of respectability and ad revenue to an owner who uses his media to promote chaos, tyranny, and hate. In short, do not bargain with fascism. There are other social media, if wise men can act collectively to move to one of them.
When I quoted this passage to a French friend, he was very surprised, and went back to consult the French translation he had read - it turns out this word had been replaced by a more comprehensible paraphrase in his edition, flattening out the effect entirely.
