Parler Tricks

"*Man, you know, Twitter's great and all, but lately it's been feeling kind of authoritarian. Telling us how to think and what to say. I just wish there was some alternative out there where I could practice my free speech.*"
―Erik
Parler Tricks is the 22nd Tweets From the Class. It was released on November 20, 2020.

## Summary

Erik finds a tweet addressed to several YouTubers asking them how they like being called "Mommy" and "Daddy." He insists that he's actually Daddy's Good Little Boy. Then he goes over to Roger Stone's Twitter account and remembers it got banned.

Erik looks for an alternative for Twitter and someone recommends Parler. The website promises no bots, so Erik makes an account and finds bots. He expects to find nice people on Parler, but all he can find are crazy people. He also finds Ted Cruz, but people even hate him on Parler. Erik sends Ted Cruz a picture of Lemon Party. Then Erik gets a tweet from himself saying it's time for an ad break, and it is.

Erik goes back to Twitter, but a student asks him to do a Parler lesson, so he goes back to Parler. He sees that Parler made his first post for him in an authoritarian fashion and all of the replies to that post are by crazy people, so he goes back to Twitter. He sees a tweet telling him to do a lesson on Parler, so he gives up and sets up his Parler profile with images of Lemon Party. Then Erik realizes that students have been posting shirtless old men on Parler and there are already three different Holiday Fartcruises registered on the site. He looks at a post by one of them, but Parler is so poorly designed it won't even let him see what it was replying to.

He goes to #MEME but it's just a bunch of spam and conspiracy theories. Erik gets upset because these aren't memes, so he reports one as a child-related crime. Parler forces him to wait before performing another action so he just goes back to Twitter and watches a fart video. Then another tweet reminds him about Parler so he goes back to post Lemon Party with the hashtag #JFKJR. Then he sees that Roger Stone is allowed on Parler and is still being a dick. Erik sends him a message and goes to look at YouTube comments, but it's just asking him to look at Parler again.

*@IwriteOK @ContraPoints @PhilosophyTube @JennyENicholson @drmistercody @commentiquette How do you feel about being maternalized/paternalized by fans? Because I can't help but refer to each of you as some variant of "Mommy" or "Daddy".*

*This is what they don't want you to know. The earth once had a significantly denser atmosphere. Carbon dioxide is good for the enviroment. It makes plants grow! Plants that produce O2. 2024 is going to be an eye opener for many when the NOAA includes solar particle forcing in their climate model. For those of you who don't know, we are probably on the way to a mini ice age. And on top of that, we are in the middle of a magnetic polar reversal...
