(PS) I just realized that people may not fully understand what I’m referring to. I’m not talking about using cheese sauce in a burger. I’m talking about people who take a fully completed cheeseburger and then just start pouring cheese sauce all over the top of it for no reason. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

Pouring cheese sauce over a cheeseburger simultaneously destroys both the cheeseburger and the purpose of cheese sauce. It is an offense to food and has no place on social media, ever. Please never post such a video. Anywhere. *gets off soapbox* 😉 — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

I admit it, I love cheese when it’s reduced to a creamy sauce, as with (say) Annie’s Mac and Cheese. I also love cheeseburgers. But this new Instagram trend of people pouring melted cheese over cheeseburgers makes me want to pour boiling cheese over my phone until it dissolves. — PolitiTweet.org

I admit it, I love cheese when it’s reduced to a creamy liquid, as in (say) Annie’s Mac and Cheese. I also love cheeseburgers. But this new Instagram trend of people pouring melted cheese over cheeseburgers makes me want to pour boiling cheese over my phone until it dissolves. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

@KoolLove2643 All great except for the part where the data confirms it has been a far-right bias all along. Idiot. https://t.co/aGDme3JZl2 — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

So Elon’s @CommunityNotes lying about David Hogg’s opinion on guns—which he made clear were opinion—or Judd Legum’s reporting on far-right Big Government fascism, while doing nothing on Russia disinformation from Posobiec or race disinformation from Adams, is a feature not a bug. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

Americans better wise up to this right now—as Elon Musk has eyes wide open situated himself exactly at the center of this effort to destroy the United States. The insurrection isn’t over. The insurrection is ongoing. Twitter is one of the chief weapons of the insurrectionists. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

And part of fostering racial tension in America—which U.S. intelligence confirms the Kremlin has been doing for decades now—involves lionizing Putin as a White savior. The Russia disinformation from Posobiec and race disinformation from Adams are part of the same culture-war op. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

The far right defines “race relations” as “how comfortable far-right Americans are feeling at the moment” and “race narratives” as any discussion of race. Which is why *they* are always discussing race relations and race narratives. They—like Adams—want a *re-segregated* America. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

Twitter is a weapon of the far-right. A weapon. This isn’t about people sharing opinions, this is about a coordinated effort to push America toward civic disintegration. And they’re not hiding it. They want some sort of race war that leads to a Civil War and a “national divorce.” https://t.co/7Xx2xfAHWu — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

And what’s this? As Elon Musk’s Twitter police stalk progressive journalists and activists, Posobiec—the insurrectionist—just happens to be littering his feed with defenses of... ...Elon Musk pal @ScottAdamsSays. It is as I said: leading white supremacists are teaming up, now. https://t.co/fbSMKYVKZP — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

Posobiec has a background in military intel; advocates use of psyops against US citizens; and here sees his Soviet-born wife elevating the pro-Russia follow-up to his fake-video tweet intended to aid Putin. Where is @CommunityNotes? Addressing the personal opinions of David Hogg. https://t.co/xyvcpheKnd — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

This is the sort of tweet a domestic insurrectionist would post to create immediate civil unrest in the US—panic over a sudden military draft, WW3, and a CCP invasion of Taiwan. And @CommunityNotes has been paralyzed as Posobiec racks up RTs because many of its editors love him. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

The Posobiec tweet is the most dangerous sort of tweet imaginable: it puts false info in the mouth of a president, having him simultaneously say a Chinese invasion of Taiwan is “impending” and that America may go to war with Russia. And Posobiec posted it because he’s a Putinist. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

@ErikaAwakening The whole point of the Twitter Files you treated like a second King James Bible was that Twitter was algorithmically targeting conservatives for their opinions. Now anonymous activists get to append public notes to progressives’ opinions and you're like, “All good!” GFY, fascist. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

Posobiec—present on Capitol Hill with insurrectionist leaders on January 6—has 4,100 retweets for his fake video indicating the President of the United States just declared a military draft. Meanwhile, progressive David Hogg was disallowed from having an opinion on the Second Am. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

“Community Notes” is hopelessly broken, as the recent attacks on David Hogg and Judd Legum have proven. The system and its editors have a categorical far-right bias that matches *exactly* the bias internal Twitter data has revealed the entire platform has. https://t.co/aGDme3JZl2 — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

Infamous far-right propagandist Jack Posobiec posted a deep-fake video of the President of the United States declaring a military draft. @CommunityNotes won’t add a note to the deep fake—which is profoundly dangerous—because not enough of its far-right editors have approved one. https://t.co/6YT8fai3HH — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

@BlakeBortlesUCF @CommunityNotes I know they do. But Poison Control doesn’t. I hate alcohol, but I also hate @CommunityNotes. Elon is technically wrong here, even if I admire the spirit of his tweet. My point is that Community Notes is here to police *us*—not him. And it is particularly focused on progressives. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

It’s ironic that I would be writing this thread, as I probably hate alcohol more than just about anyone. But Poison Control confirms that alcohol is presently treated in the United States no differently than any other drug—which means it is not a poison except in excessive doses. https://t.co/oPWoD5COLx — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

Water consumed to excess can also be lethal. Any substance where the dosage determines the danger is not going to be deemed natively poisonous. If @CommunityNotes is designed to police Elon Musk as much as everyone else, it should deal with this. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

@gibodean @CommunityNotes Yeah, uh...you’re making my point. Water isn’t classified as a poison because it depends on dosage. The same is true with alcohol. Definitionally, an organic poison is one that cannot be consumed safely. Not dying on any hill, just want @CommunityNotes to issue a correction here. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

@AriDerryet @CommunityNotes Oh, I think alcohol is just about the worst thing ever. But Elon Musk is worse, and his impromptu police force here on Twitter is worse still. For the moment I am more interested in his and their hypocrisy than in the obvious fact that as a general matter alcohol is horrible. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

@BlakeBortlesUCF @CommunityNotes Correct. And the difference is dosage. It is not organically poisonous and therefore is not deemed poison. If it were, we would also have to call water a poison because excessive water consumption can be lethal. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

Alcohol can be toxic or poisonous at very high doses, but equally can have health benefits at lower doses—which is why the CDC defines only “toxic alcohol [consumption]” as poisonous. Elon Musk saying that alcohol is categorically a poison is *dead false*. https://t.co/BssUhUlj8v — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

Overconsumption of alcohol is bad for you, and many of us deem alcohol to be considerably—exponentially—more dangerous than drugs like marijuana. But alcohol isn’t a “poison.” The CDC does not identify it as such, nor does anyone else. @CommunityNotes, handle this disinformation. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

@jasonbeaumont71 I think alcohol is horrid. But the CDC has held that only “toxic alcohol” can be deemed a poison under its definitions. (Nicotine, by the way, does qualify as poison.) The question is not whether alcohol is bad for you, but whether it is deemed a poison—which it isn’t. By anyone. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

So the question is, “Did @ElonMusk saying ‘alcohol is poison’ constitute ‘stating opinion as fact’, which—at least when dealing with progressives—@CommunityNotes says it was created to police?” If so, *per Elon* any correction appended to his tweet would be “🔥🔥.” Now we wait. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

Oh, he’s already done so many times. I’m just picking at random the most recent instance of @CommunityNotes holding progressives to a standard it would never hold Musk to. Musk is personally responsible for authoring or disseminating a good deal of the disinformation on Twitter. — PolitiTweet.org

Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

I’d be happy to hear other views on why @CommunityNotes shouldn’t correct the owner of this site for calling alcohol a “poison” but making no effort to frame his words as a) metaphoric, b) opinion. I say this having watched Elon reply to Hogg getting “Community Notes’d” this way: https://t.co/SlvOTeKJVg — PolitiTweet.org
