Elon Musk & the Gnashing of Teeth

David Griffey has some Daffey Thoughts on the childish tantrums the Left are throwing over Elon Musk's takeover of Twitter. It's almost fun to watch.

jJst an update to say I've not fallen off the edge of the world. I said here that I was going to lay low over the Easter season. Technically that season, Eastertide for sticklers, lasts until Pentecost. I didn't really mean for that long. But I've been thinking on things. I said here that life itself was beginning to push me in new ways as I also wonder about the effectiveness of fussing about things on Social Media. Especially because things appear to have entered a new era.

Yes, I've watched with some humor the apocalyptic hysterics regarding Elon Musk and Twitter. It's not surprising. The problem everyone has isn't that he's some hard right MAGA Trump Conservative Religious Right fanatic. For all I know, he's Lenny the leftist and might be as bad for Twitter as anything we've seen.

Then why the outrage? Because they can't control him. That's why. He's outside the cabal and the control now demanded, and that has them going unhinged. Which shows how much and how many are now controlled, that one single out of control individual sets off so much unilateral outrage. And how many are already thralls of this new order? Observe:


Note well, Fr. James is pro-LGBTQ and embraces the liberal framework of all minorities against the White Western Majority. That's typically where his advocacy is aimed. Deacon Greydanus is among the 'not wanting to align with the Left, but the horrifying MAGA Trump racist sexist Alt-Right types make me do it' clan. If they're taking to Social Media, it's typically to attack on behalf of this or that minority group, or attack the Trump/MAGA/Right.

Yet Musk is none of these things. For all I know, he is nothing but liberal about most LGBTQ issues. He's not a Trump person from what I can tell. I could be wrong on that. But MAGA and Musk are not terms I've heard linked. So why the rush to Social Media by these two in order to lob barbs at Mr. Musk? I don't see them fuss about money spent by Soros, or Hollywood, or various Social Media moguls. I don't recall them being worried about Free Speech one way or another regarding what Social Media outlets have been doing to dissenting voices for several years. So what gives?

Because the Machine has said so, that's why. They're simply charging forth because the hysterics demand it. The whip was cracked, they moved into action. Not because Musk is pro this or that in anything. But because he is now a threat to the established order. Yes, Fr. Martin uses the old ploy of 'bad use of money' first floated by Judas all those years ago. That's a common trick, almost always reserved for people on the opposite side of an issue. But the reason can be nothing other than the Left has gone into hysterics, and these two Catholic voices have charged forth in complete obedience to the bugle call. It's no longer about embracing this or that template, or promoting this or that cause. It's about responding when the machine says so. I find that development very significant.

It shows just how far things have gotten. It also shows how far we've sunk. We have long ceased to be the nation, and even culture, we grew up with. That ship has sailed. This shows how long ago and far away that ship is.

So during this Eastertide, I'm still sitting back and thinking. Praying. Pondering. Reflecting. If something catches my eye, or some special prayer request. I may just post dribble or fun things as always.
