I get the point with the government stuff but:

> remove censorship

> Left suddenly don't have a stranglehold on culture.

Hmmm

If by "remove censorship" you mean systematically promote right-wing content and downrank left-leaning content, unban neonazis, russian bots and other fascistic influences, then yeah, that's what Elon did.

Also what "Left stranglehold on culture" are you speaking of?? Workers have been losing rights in this country for decades. You clearly bought into the lies.

Here it is in the same format you did:

> Removes facts

> The right suddenly gets a stranglehold on culture

Hmmm

Wokeness is mostly random bits of academic communism renamed.

Ah yes, the famous woke USSR, in which you could be sent to the gulag for being gay.

Do you believe in your own ahistorical view of the world?

Ignoring that the USSR tried all this stuff in the 20s until Stalin got rid of it, you know full well that there's a difference between some communist academic working in an office in Berlin or whatever and the Soviet union

Who exactly are you taking about? Marx and Engels seldom spoke of sexuality. What does an economic theory has to do with LGBT rights? And no the USSR was never "woke"[1], not even in the 20s, you can't just claim stuff like that. Bring sources next time.
