LOL, Twitter didn't look like a "right wing cesspool." It was biased toward the Democrat Party, for sure, and it was also biased to the neoconservative factions and the military industrial complex, as well as the security State. That's why Twitter's narrative control acted like it did. Governments use it to spread propaganda, and we saw that over and over.I didn't say destroy. I said disrupt. Many businesses use Twitter to function and communicate effectively, many organizations use Twitter to organize and communicate, and even governments used it to spread a message. It was always a right-wing cesspool, with an algorithm that demonstrably favored the right-wing (despite the right-wing diaper-whining that they're being censored), but now it's kind of a hate sewer with no redeeming value, with no real rules or terms of service beyond the mood of a rich weirdo.
If by "right wing" you mean the current crop of Establishment Democrats as well as the Establishment Republicans, all of whom are controlled by the Military Industrial Complex which also controls social media now, including but not limited to Twitter and Facebook and Youtube, well, then I agree with you. And, they clearly favor Biden and the Establishment Democrats, at least until Trump is finally silenced and ended. At that point, it will just be the establishments of both parties, and they will control the allowed narrative - if they want an emergency mandate, you won't be allowed to argue about it on social media because such arguments are dangerious and need to be silenced -- if we're talking about war with Russia (proxy or otherwise) then any protest of that will become treason, as it has with the Ukraine discussion.
No longer will we have any anti-war messaging of any consequence, like we had in the early 2000s over Iraq. The narratives are now controlled. That's why there is no liberal faction of any consequence that opposes Syria, Libya, and now Ukraine. There are no more voices among liberals allowed to oppose US bases in 85 countries, gone are the liberal voices opposing dark ops and CIA secret prisons. The Military Industrial Complex used the Trump situation to seize even greater control of narratives.
