      This whole autocoprophagic ouroboros thing where people actually decide "politics" consists of Twitter beefs in and of themselves is the biggest possible waste of time and energy imaginable And it's cringey and annoying af

      I think what really annoys me about this is the presumption that Twitter *matters* a lot more than it actually does And that therefore all of us on here somehow matter

      I say this knowing that in the past four years the President of the damn country using Twitter as his personal virtual press conference venue means it has in fact never mattered more than it does now But people *still* overestimate how much it matters even so

      Like, nobody gives a shit what "Twitter thinks" about anything The impact of Trump's tweets was 100% just as a propaganda tool for people who intentionally follow Trump, who were generally "casual users" The "hardcore users" did not matter for this process

      The incestuous web of viral clapbacks, parodies, fact-checks, etc. is just Twitter "power users" socializing with their friends It wouldn't change anything if they were just having those convos in a NY or DC bar, like they would've been doing if Twitter didn't exist

      I think that's what gets me the most, that "everyone on Twitter" isn't even really everyone on Twitter, much less a reflection of the world If "everyone on Twitter" the way the Twitter Cool Kids meant it actually mattered for jack fucking shit *nothing* would be the way it is

      "Everyone on Twitter" hated Joker, Joker grossed a billion dollars and won Best Actor with eleven nominations "Everyone on Twitter" thought Joe Biden was the shittiest candidate in the Dem primary -- barely even mentioned in some people's rankings -- now he's the President-elect

      Obviously I'm one of "everyone on Twitter" and I say this because it's so damn painful realizing nothing you say or do here means a goddamn thing in the real world people actually live in, and it's so frustrating watching other people fuck around who haven't gotten that memo

      Like, shit, the disconnect between "Asian-American Twitter" and actual Asian America is HUGE All I have to do is talk to my relatives -- my parents or my brother -- to know that Are you shocked that 31% of self-IDed Asian voters voted for Trump? You shouldn't be

      People who were shocked that Aaron Coleman won his election in Kansas City Well, sure, Twitter dunked on him plenty, and big national pubs wrote op-eds roasting the fuck out of him -- read mostly by "plugged-in" politicos in big cities

      But the KC Daily Star put their attacks on him behind a paywall, and afaik the local evening news never actually did a spot on him (why would they, it's a single State House seat) He was "nationally viral" on Twitter but apparently never went locally viral in his hometown

          So, big surprise, the predictable fact that he was on the ballot unopposed means he won It's always like that People repeatedly shocked and confused that a tweet can go "viral" and get like 200,000 unique impressions and yet nobody who actually matters has ever even heard of it

          This nonsense where people deliberately conflated "using Twitter as a tool to evade censorship and communicate with people you already know irl" with the totally different, much stupider idea that "Twitter is where politics happens now, tweeting is organizing"

          People turning their pfps green and shit I really do feel like the wave of green-tinted icons that swept Twitter in 2009 encapsulates the utter narcissistic stupidity that would define the Western clique of "everyone on Twitter" for the next decade
