      And the “verified turbo-Nazi” badge is when Elon responds to a tweet with the thinking face emoji.

    There was a time when this collection of Nazis would be considered a gold mine while bringing them to justice. But now we do nothing? Fuck this timeline.

      Well the definition of Nazi has changed substantially to being a supporter of Hitler’s ideas to someone that either the Democrats don’t like, a Democrat according to Republicans who acts authoritarian, or someone that doesn’t praise Israel. Furthermore, it has never been illegal to be a “Nazi.” America has really only cared about communists.

            Where in there did you see news?

            I just find that people who constantly complain about being called Nazis are usually far closer to Nazis than they’d like to admit.

              I didn’t complain about being called a Nazi. I merely said the definition of the word has changed substantially from its true meaning.

                And you’re wrong about that. You see it more frequently these days because one of our major parties is becoming more and more like the Nazi party by the day, a fact that you seem quite willfully blind to and prefer to blame the people pointing it out for so you don’t have to confront your own convictions.

                  A majority of the Christian right and Republicans are hard supporters of Israel. I find it hard to believe that Republicans are all Nazis.

        No, you’re wrong on so many levels. All Most of them, actually.

      The death of X simply requires people to stop using it. Let it turn into the racist, right-wing, bot wasteland it’s trying so hard to become. It’ll come with the added benefit of making Truth Social the number two place for number two content.

      Oh you sweet summer child, we don’t do anything about billionaires. They’re allowed to do whatever they want and if anything bad happens, there’s no amount of punishment a tiny fraction of their worth can’t make go away.

        The easiest way to make a small fortune is to start with a large one. This is a true business genius move. Us mere morals cannot comprehend this.

        There’s a theory according to which Elon Musk purchased Twitter in order to take away a platform from left-wing and inclusive movements and to prevent other Arab Spring-like events from happening. In his playbook, Neo-Nazis probably are a lucky by-product.

              So 5% of its purchase price? They also executed a journalist and sponsored September 11th, but Biden seems to have no problem with that as he tries push for a new Saudi deal.

        I guess by that token every news outlet, politician, organization and business are nazis… which is fitting for some things. Like Nestlé definitely seems like it’s run by nazis.

    And people said he would not be able to monetize Twitter.
