  • You’re basically correct, in this case. I’ve chosen my official “side” as that of humanity. I’m not fully certain what that means other than I feel for the protestors/people of both sides and don’t want bad things to happen to either. The governments directly involved here, such as they are, are in the business of revenge and power. The people in general are being played by their governments, pawns to be sacrificed or otherwise used to further the purpose.




  • I shouldn’t feed the trolls…

    I suppose the better question is, what did he do right?

    • Taunted Twitter CEO, culminating in what constituted a valid offer to purchase at a very inflated price
    • Tried to back out of his legally made offer
    • Fired the vast majority of staff that knew how to run the site
    • Fired all of the staff in charge of ethics
    • Stopped paying rent and other bills, despite having used the location/services
    • Demanded employees devote their non-sleeping lives to the company
    • Ignored all his other companies, from which he continues to draw paychecks (ok, maybe ignoring them is for their best interest)
    • Failed to pay promised severance
    • Change algorithm to promote his voice above all other
    • Rebrand off of one of the most recognizable names and logos in the world

    And these are the ones just off the top of my head.
