One of the core tactics in the culture war is for people to dig up old posts on social media and then smear you for it because by today's standards they're offensive.

But actually, there are many people who posted things on social media that were offensive even by the standards of the past 20 or 30 years, notably some New York time staff members.

We're called out by Breitbart and New York Times was not happy about it.

In response, the New York Times said a cabal of Trump supporters is launching a campaign to discredit them and I'm being a little hyperbolic but what they basically said was in the story, Trump allies target journalists over coverage deemed hostile to White House.

In reality, media critics who happen to be conservative and some on the left wanted to show that this tactic applies to everybody.

If you want to smear someone because of something they said, don't be surprised when they come and smear you.

Well, here's the funny thing. In response to the story, basically everyone slammed the New York Times. Nice try.

This is the elite of the elite and even the left wasn't having it. Now, of course, the right wasn't having it because the New York Times was targeting Trump allies.

But we even have left wing outlets that were getting shared far and wide saying journalism is an action.

The New York Times is not exempt from this. Now, this is the gist of my main video that I did on the book of the story that their hit piece on the Trump supporters backfired.

It was pretty bad. Well, now the backfire continues. Check this story out from the Daily Beast.

New York Times tightens up on social media after scandals. People are locking down their accounts.

Well, perhaps you've learned an important lesson. There are a lot of people who have started deleting their tweets,

locking their Twitter accounts and Facebook pages, and there you have it.

Now, admittedly, I actually wiped the entire history of my Twitter account. I didn't do it because I was upset over anything I tweeted in the past.

No, I had a lot of excellent coverage from around the world. I just hate Twitter. I think it's a terrible, terrible thing that's causing a lot of problems.

And as much as I still use it and I've talked about not in the past, like not using it in the past,

I decided to get rid of anything I contributed to the platform for a lot of reasons.

And I don't post my content there anymore. I just kind of tweet random shower thoughts about certain political issues.

But hey, it is what it is. If you post on social media, it's fair game.

And I think our society needs to become more resilient to past offensive content.

Dave Chappelle, for instance. He talked a lot about this in his latest Netflix special, which is amazing.
