Linda Yaccarino is leaving X

Reading his timeline is somewhat rage-inducing. He's just another edgelord who can't decide if he believes the terrible things he's posting or is just ironically posting them.

It's all just attention seeking, there's no value in the posts, no product insight, no teaching like I see from true industry leaders.

Twitter only showing a sample of posts for non-logged-in users allowed me to see just how weirdly hung up on "Europeans" that guy is.

The thing is, as I get older, I realize more and more that this is a distinction without a difference.

If you "ironically" stab someone, does it matter what your motivation?

The same is true for edgelord stuff. Whether you believe it internally is irrelevant, the active act of the posting is the only part that matters.

If you post fascist content to be "edgy", you're a fascist.

Birds of a feather flock together.

are we reading the same timeline? what's he posting that's offensive?

Is Trump a constitutionalist because he claims to love the constitution? Is Kim Jong Un a "democratic republican"?

> If you "ironically" stab someone, does it matter what your motivation?

...well, the legal system does take intent into account.

"Intent" in this context means more more like: "did you intend to stab this person?" (battery/murder) vs. "did you recklessly swing a knife not knowing someone was about to walk by?" (reckless endangerment/manslaughter).

Harming someone "ironically" would be an intentional act of the first category.

who said anything about offensive? Edglord just means he thinks hes posting hot takes.

Nikita has always been like this - vastly overstating his importance but making it seem like a joke so he can feign ignorance. Just another self-absorbed Valley goon.

"The European mind cannot comprehend this" is a meme [0], it's more a joke than anything serious.

It's Twitter, what did you expect? He has insights sometimes but not so many that he can post them daily, it is his personal account, not an education account. If you want growth hacking tips, follow something like this [0].

For this, English speakers have the phrase "actions speak louder than words". They do things that affect a large number of people and it's reasonable to say those things are more important than the words that come out of their mouth because the guy who punches you in the face 5 times and says sorry each time probably doesn't really mean it. I don't think you're convincing anyone that words aren't important just because liars lie.

I think there's plenty that offensive, but it's mostly in the subtext. Hidden enough that he could feign ignorance if called out on it.
