A guy from South Africa made his app anti-black? Shocking.

[-] PunnyName@lemmy.world 118 points 8 months ago

The white guy who is only rich because of black oppression in South Africa, in fact.

IDK How to tell you this, but fascist racists own everything and are planning to kill a whole bunch of people soon. I really think people are under estimating the severity of the vision these people have for the world.

[-] figaro@lemdro.id 11 points 8 months ago

Can you quantify soon here? I agree with you that they don't have good intentions, but I think that framing it as like, a planned genocide is not accurate. More realistically what can happen is more systemic injustices and consolidations of power to prevent anyone from resisting.

To start with, their plan for mass deportation probably already counts as a displacement genocide. There will be thousands of deaths from it leaving aside everything else wrong with it.

There are also approximately 3 million trans people in the US. Every single one of them is in danger as the fascists' chosen scapegoat.

People, please stop using twitter. Stop giving your attention and money to terrible people. Some people, like that white lady, are weak-minded and they will never learn.

She’s a straight up Nazi

[-] But_my_mom_says_im_cool@lemmy.world 21 points 8 months ago

I have a feeling she takes black cock on the down low and doesn’t tell anyone

... isn't that the wrong arm?

[-] VindictiveJudge@lemmy.world 14 points 8 months ago

The guy on the right is mirrored, judging by the text on his shirt. I'm guessing she is, too.

Bro really wants to steal Truth Social's userbase for more money. He found out that the left is a lot harder to scam.

The only good nazi is a dead nazi

Or maybe a grammar nazi... But I'm not sure they count

The weirdest thing here to me is that people call twitter an app. Not a site/community/whatever.

[-] SomethingBurger@jlai.lu 22 points 8 months ago

Zoomers and later generations mostly interact with Internet services through apps.

The first word they did this with was cis. This will keep happening and the attacks will get worse until people act. Leave Twitter

[-] Zink@programming.dev 34 points 8 months ago

I don’t think I’ve seen the old hard-R written out in quite some time. Let nobody say Musk and his indentured servant team have never accomplished anything. They just accomplish the bad things.

Anti-black? Is that a substitute for “racist” to avoid censorship?

[-] humorlessrepost@lemmy.world 34 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

To be fair, it’s far more precise, being a subset of racism, especially given the context of some racist slurs being filtered while others aren’t, depending on the targeted race.

In today’s fucked up world, it wouldn’t surprise me if anti-white and anti-black slurs were filtered but anti-hispanic and anti-asian slurs weren’t, for instance, maybe to drive nationalism regardless of race. I appreciate the additional clarity.

Exactly the opposite lesson to take. We need public social media, not corporate social media. We need rights and guarantees, not profit taking and psyops.

wow, so surprised. And after it being a complete tool for getting Trump elected too. Flabbergasted, I say.

Wish people would just stop using Twitter.

[-] metallic_substance@lemmy.world 11 points 8 months ago

Shit like this makes me wonder what it would actually take to convince people to stop

[-] RabbitInTheWoodPile@lemm.ee 18 points 8 months ago

It's no secret that Apartheid Leon is trying to make everything back to the way it was in South Africa when he was a kid.

I'm sure he already has a very nostalgic flag picked out when the name changes to The United States of X.

[-] jaemo@sh.itjust.works 17 points 8 months ago

I treat people who have twitter accounts the same as I would someone who chain smokes in public areas: you're part of the mesh that prevents the substrate for nice things to exist.

Hopefully it's as much of collective social stigma as smoking is soon.
