  • To be clear: It wasn’t the behavior of X or Musk over the past year that caused this, when he was already clearly being a Nazi pushing Nazi propaganda, it was the Nazi Salute.

    I’m glad people are finally blocking X and I’ll take wins where we can get them, but this should have happened a long time ago.

    The behavior of X did not change after his salute, it was already operating as a Nazi platform. My opinion of Musk didn’t change after seeing his Nazi salute, I already knew he was a fascist supporting the fascist party. My only surprise was that he was already willing to say it louder for the people in the back that he’s a Nazi.

    It’s so frustrating that people are so unwilling to call fascists fascists until they go completely mask off. Musk can exhibit every Nazi behavior and people keep using X no problem, but it’s the fucking salute that gets them to finally block the platform.

    So do people hate Nazis because of what they stand for? Or do they just hate the Nazi salute? Because by all available information it’s the salute that might get someone in trouble, all the other behaviors get ignored or excused.





  • People do choose to believe in things that I think are ridiculous and saying that I cannot call that out is just religious people saying you can’t call them out.

    And what value does your calling them out add to the discussion? Does it lead to an interesting nuanced conversation? Or is it immediately just people insulting each other while saying nothing other than “you’re wrong”?

    If it never leads to useful or interesting discussion and only leads to flame wars and arguments then it should be banned.
