Title: Resist and Unsubscribe
Post by: murphstahoe on February 03, 2026, 03:38:29 PM
Cleaning it all up.

Twitter - haven't been using it, deleted
Facebook - goodbye cruel world post up, deleting tonight
AppleTV - unsubscribed
Microsoft XBOX gold - finally nuked it, kid doesn't play XBOX anymore

Gotta finish stranger things and Netflix is gone. Disney+ is on the chopping block.

This place can stay - not a profit center for a corporate overlord, just an edgelord.

I largely took 5 years off politics because of the Trump years. I’m recharged.

Must have. It’s only the last 6 months or so I’ve ramped up again on politics.

I’ve never said that unsubscribing or boycotts can’t make a difference. What I’ve said is that nothing changes with Elon Musk if I delete Twitter, but unsurprising you fail to see the difference.

If you lead the online army you command offline, it won't make any difference?

I command an army? Sweet. I'm having a bigger impact than I ever knew!

Yes, almost everyone has followers. And I never said anything about them "hanging on my every post." That's a huge fabrication. But an unsurprising one.

They aren't hanging on every post?

Maybe a few, but I wouldn't call that an "army." I see a handful of the usual suspects though. Not sure how much I command their actions.
