twits tweeting on twitter with other twits

love it! digital dictatorship, self-indulgency par excellence, commanding the airwaves… it's all in a word nowadays!

in reference to:

"In short: it’s a fricking one way road and because of that the most arrogant, self-indulgent ego-tripping platform to date. It’s digital dictatorship. You speak, we listen. You command, we obey. You say jump, but I won’t ask how high, because unlike real dictatorship I can just stop following you without being terrorized, threatened and probably thrown in some poor, dark pit (…oh, I forgot the torturing bit – apologies to an medieval habit we’ve successfully re-modernized. Applause to all of us !)."
