The left constantly complains about Twitter, which it now considers a toxic environment.
For this, she calls for a major migration to Bluesky, which would allow us to reconnect with the apparently original spirit of social networks.
Let’s be serious: the left calls toxic environment any space where it is not absolutely hegemonic, where its moral prohibitions are not respected and where it cannot censor ideological offenders.
Because the left is not primarily a political category, but a moral category: it proclaims itself left, then sends to the right everything it does not want. And the right is a fallen version of the human soul. Moreover, it is enough for him to say that an idea is right-wing for us to know that it is bad – there is then no need to respond to it. If she wants to impose a moral ban on it, she then assimilates it to the extreme right.
The left accepts debates within the left, to the extent that they are based on the same dogma: but anyone who leaves the dogma is accused of poisoning the political debate.
The safe space is consubstantial with the imagination of the left, which does not see public life as a clash between contradictory perspectives each containing an element of truth, but as a great clash between good and evil, between the future and the past. Between the good guys and the bad guys.
Now let’s talk about Hunter Biden, because the two topics are related.
We remember the story about his laptop.
We remember, as Gérald Olivier taught us in his book Cover upof the cabal set up by the FBI, the Democratic Party and Twitter (pre-Musk) to censor the article New York Post revealing this information which could have tipped the 2020 election, suggesting that it was fake news from a Russian disinformation campaign.
We remember that those who supported this thesis present themselves today as the guardians of reliable information, the enemies of disinformation and the uncompromising defenders of democracy.
And now, we learn that Joe Biden has decided to pardon his son for all of his faults – even those that we do not yet know or which have not yet been identified by the American federal state.
Are we to understand that he is therefore pardoning him for false news of which he was a victim and which was staged by Vladimir Putin’s Russia?
We no longer understand anything.
Or we begin to understand that we are really taken for idiots.
