The Neocons and the Woke Left Are Joining Hands and Leading Us to Woke War III

Elon Musk got in hot water again onย Twitterโ€”for proposing peace. On Monday, Muskย proposedย a peace deal to end the war in Ukraine, for which he was denounced as a pro-Putin puppet by the Twitter mob that has formed to police the discourse on all things related to Ukraine.

The president of Ukraine himself, Volodymyrย Zelensky, accused Musk of supporting Russiaโ€”even though Musk’s companyย SpaceXย donated Starlink to Ukraine’s war effort at an out-of-pocket cost ofย $80 million. (Full disclosure: Musk is a friend and I am an investor in SpaceX.) Ukrainian Ambassador to Germany Andrjย Melnykย was less subtle, telling Elon to “f***k off,” while Davidย Frumย tweeted without evidence that “Russian sources” had used Elon to float a “trial balloon” of a peace proposal because they’re afraid of losing Crimea. Scores of blue-checks on Twitter followed their lead, ordering Musk to stay in his lane.

What matters in this story is not that Musk was told off, but rather, that a Twitter hive mind is using the same intolerant cancellation tactics that they use to shut down debate on domestic political issues in order to shape U.S. policy toward Ukraine. They are doing so by demonizing dissent, defaming opponents, and closing off as ideologically unacceptable any path to peace or even deescalation.

The online mob has decided that any support for a negotiated settlementโ€”even proposals that Zelensky himself appeared to support at the beginning of the warโ€”is tantamount to taking Russia’s side, denouncing voices of compromise and restraint as Putin apologists. This removes them from acceptable discourse and shrinks the Overton window to those advocating the total defeat of Russia and an end to Putin’s regimeโ€”even if it risks WWIII.
