Thursday Snark

In his weekly column for the New York Post, InstaPundit Glenn Reynolds ironically questions whether Elon Musk buying Twitter is, on balance, a good thing. Here's the money quote:

Musk is exactly right. Wokeness is a “mind virus,” a toxic idea that spreads from one person to another like a zombie plague. It makes you stupid and removes concern for your well-being.

And as I wrote in “The Social Media Upheaval,” Twitter is the main vector by which this virus is spread. But as long as it’s destroying the left, is it really a good idea to stop it?

If a Musk-owned Twitter became less biased, those currently infected with its woke mind game might migrate to another platform to carry on getting their undiluted woke fix. In its present form it clearly meets the unhealthy needs of a substantial group of neurotics.
