It’s an tragic fact that correcting a lie is hugely more costly than making and spreading the lie.
America does not care about truth. Worse, it actively discourages truth.
Lying is accepted. Making up facts that suit your narrative and shouting down anyone who disagrees gets you rewarded with the highest position of state.
We, the rest of the world, are just watching you guys in horror.
This stupid bitch has since deleted the tweet and gotten back to it like it’s another Tuesday. OSFM had to put out a statement correcting it. I hate people.
she deleted the original tweet, then reposted it again.
My bad, you’re right. I tried to check first, but I didn’t have the patience to scroll past her claiming America Is So Back because “Starbucks kicked homeless people out of bathrooms,” so I ended up not seeing the reposted tweet.
She lies, runs away from OSFM, gets community noted, and still, in the replies:
Um, this is 100% TRUE and WOKE Oregon seems to be covering for WOKE California. Leftists stick together.
There are many people whose work and ideas I deeply respect, but even in my weakest moments, I couldn’t possibly idolize them like this useless waste of oxygen does gargling on Trump’s ballsack every day.
Because I’m a horrible person, I can foresee that there’s zero chance I’ll die before doing something monumentally stupid. My greatest shame is realizing it probably won’t be as effective as what Luigi did.
I wish leftists stuck together as much as the right thinks we do.

My point was not that X would be able to do something about this, but that it is not a source of breaking news, and fundamentally not a replacement for journalism…and should not be used as such.
2100 retweets on the lie.
33 on the truth.Too late. It’s already become true, and another example of wokeness for your racist uncle to bang on about.
You never want a serious crisis to go to waste. And what I mean by that is an opportunity to do things that you think you could not do before.
Driving Californians (particularly the wealthy and well-connected Malibu celebrity class) insane with rage and paranoia, then pointing them at the milquetoast liberal stand-ins for Far-Left Radicalism, will do to California what it did to New York, Texas, and Florida.
Just a matter of time before the right-wing propaganda machine crushes the brains of the enfranchised class. I’m already hearing my mother-in-law blame the stupid Los Angelinos for raising her own home insurance rates. And more than a few coworkers are smugly insisting this is what a DEI fire department gets you.
It’s not like there’s a state border check for vehicle emissions. You can visit California in a non-California car without an emissions check. Joy’s claim doesn’t make sense even before fact checking.
Twitter is a right-wing propaganda platform now. Why is everyone surprised by this?
Who is surprised? People are upset. The two are not the same reaction.
