 in terms of historical acts of civil disobedience - opting out of corporate social media is incredibly easy 
 It's not my fault they wanted to censor.  
 I still haven’t seen that you have opted out of Twitter? Am I mistaken? 
 💯🎯🙌 
 🫡 LIGHT WORK 
 Become a freedom fighter on your couch without any physical requirements 😅😂🤣 
 I'm not sure why anyone was on it to begin with... humans better start finding the answers to that question if we want to begin to fix anything. 

I can provide a hint, but humans have gotten use to crutches as it is. 
 Henry Thoreau was a real one

civil disobedience nowadays is largely using a different URL and a better money and for most that’s too much to ask 🤔 
 Thoreau is that guy who didn't pay his taxes and then his sister paid them for him? 
 Easy times make weak people.  
 opting out of social media isn't civil disobedience.

it's mental hygiene. 
 X is fantastic now. The world would be a MUCH worse place without it. Thank God for Musk. 
 X isn’t a place, it’s a application that you input your data to be monetized by private equity owners and corporations and in return, you get a dopamine Skinner box that makes you think you’re part of something when you’re not. 


Congratulations, you’re a human lab mouse. 
 No. I’m not. X is the most important platform for speech in the world. Nostr maybe will be but it won’t be for years. And by the way; Staying humble and stacking sats won’t cut it. 
 I think you’ll find you’re the product and your speech is for their benefit. You sound brainwashed to me already 
 Good luck lol 
 With what? I’ve stacked bitcoin for years. And being Humble is not my thing.🤡 
 😆

 NO, IT'S A PROPAGANDA MACHINE 
 No. It is a platform for a war of words. That involves propaganda of course. But nowadays it’s not only one type of propaganda, like it was during @jack s reign; wokeism. Now it is actually allowed to say things like #ClimateScam and #AmanCanNotBeAWoman etc. 
That was impossible before. And it means EVERYTHING. 
Nost, Bitcoin, Staying Humble and Stacking Sats don’t suffice in the real world, in a war of ideas. 
 You're a retard 
 Surely that was pure sarcasm 
 That was a compliment 
 Quit twitter in February this year after they cut 3rd party api support – and facebook in 2014.  Have not regret it for a second ✊

 People are fucking greedy. They are ready to sell anything to fulfill corporate greed.

 it’s toddler shit. 
 True. No reason to delay. Jump off today! 
 Why would Xiting be civil disobedience? I don't get it. Not giving out your passwords to authorities when asked is civil disobedience. Blocking a street for a cause is civil disobedience. The decision to not use X is on the same level as choosing not to walk backwards on the street. That's not civil disobedience. 
 As to why so many people have chosen to walk backwards on the street, I couldn't tell you.
