Suppose my Twitter account was hacked, and for six months some other person or group was tweeting as me.
…and everyone knew it.
None of the usual incentives for being a good, truthful, responsible actor exist any longer.
Those posting as me are anonymous.
And they also know they’ll eventually lose access to my account, and so also have no motivation to develop their own reputation as, say, the “hacked Changizi account.”
They have free rein to misbehave and put forth crazy ideas they never would were their account under their own name or at least a pseudonym that can develop reputation indefinitely over time.
This would be a minor problem, in terms of free expression at large — it’s just one account.
But what if the hacked account is that of the president of the United States?
And what if what has been hacked is not just his account, but the president himself?
Biden is a hacked account, some anonymous cabal is now running policy, and has zero accountability. They cannot lose reputation, nor gain it, and so suffer from the same incentives for misbehavior.
Biden should immediately hand over power to Harris.
I agree; however, when a nation has descended to this level of debasement that they would choose the types of incompetents that we suffer--let me just say, "in Washington," in the state capitals, and in municipal and county seats--then I am at least relieved that it is being revealed despite my horror and disgust concerning the consequences of this chaos and conniving. The Biden/Democrat (and probably Obama) team has destroyed even the form of good government, along with its substance---and the Republicans have been 𝚋̶𝚎̶𝚎̶𝚗̶ culpable and complicit for their own greedy reasons. Of course, the roots go far back, but let's keep that analysis limited for the sake of a quick comment. The problem with the Biden White House now is that I am not even sure that President Biden (such as he is dubiously called given the patently fraudulent election process of 2020), is capable of understanding that he must resign. If the Republicans were not so craven and scheming, they would initiate proceedings according to the Twenty-fifth Amendment. The Repubilcans no doubt consider that the practical political consequences of this, given how many buffoons exist in the voting public, would be that it would acclerate a pure incompetent into the White House by the inertia of media-manipulated public opinion. I understand that. Again, these are the inevitable problems with DEI, Affirmative Action, mass immigration (legal and illegal) and cultural Marxism that were feared.
Your post disproves your own advice. If Biden is already a hacked puppet (which he is and has been), then ‘he’ is in no position to hand over power, and the hackers who control him are already there and will certainly not hand it over either now that the pretenses of him being in charge are gone and no one has challenged it. This is a pipe dream, & illogical to boot.
