The site is literally bought, paid for, and owned by a nazi.

Next question.

It might seem trivial, but this stupid headline points to one reason Republicans have been winning. Everyone (notably journalists) still feels the need to "play the game" as they've always known it.

Oh, Candidate A said something? The game rules say you now have to run a quote in response from Candidate B.

But when Candidate B is an openly corrupt, lying, fascist, rapist shitpile who can't make it to the potty in time and is in the pocket of Russia, maybe take the fucking gloves off at some point and stop pretending you can or SHOULD be impartial. Here, watch:

After Public Nazi Salute Musk-Owned X Now Running Pro-Hitler, Holocaust-Denying Ads

It's not perfect, yet still worlds better.

Because they're scared. Print that, get buried in lawsuits by the richest edge lord in history.

You have to be smarter than this and actually defund his backers. Make it incredibly hard for them to be associated with him. Show him as a losing proposition.

As long as he's winning, people are buying Tesla's, the US is financing public money into space X, and multinationals are active and paying for Twitter then nothing is going to change.

[-] DudeImMacGyver@kbin.earth 13 points 5 months ago

Tesla sales are dropping and drivers are getting harassed already, we'll see I guess.

[-] DonAntonioMagino@feddit.nl 5 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

This can't be the whole truth, though. What ivanafterall is describing is true for essentially the whole western world. Media (or at least high-brow media) feel they need to be respectable, and to be respectable you have to be perfectly neutral. Not just in America did established media feel the need trivialise Musk's obvious Hitler salute, this happened all over. I follow Dutch and German media, and haven't seen a mainline newspaper call it what it was.

Because X is owned by a pro-hitler probably Holocaust-denying shit heal.

[-] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 18 points 5 months ago

He doesn't deny the holocaust. He sees it as a good idea.

[-] MentallyExhausted@reddthat.com 12 points 5 months ago

Nazis do both at the same time because they lie

[-] communism@lemmy.ml 10 points 5 months ago

It's quite common for nazis to do both. "The death count is inflated, but they deserved it anyway/I wish it were more" and such.

*that did a Nazi salute.

[-] Hobbes_Dent@lemmy.world 77 points 5 months ago

Because pro-Hitler, Holocaust-denying content aligns with the platforms ownership and doesn’t receive an appropriate response from a user base who learned about aliens on History and history on Fox News entertainment.

[-] Lilith_the_serpent@lemmy.world 67 points 5 months ago

Because Elon is a Nazi.

[-] metaStatic@kbin.earth 44 points 5 months ago

is this a rhetorical question?

[-] Buffalox@lemmy.world 21 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Yes, the article is meant to expose that the rules of X literally don't prevent pro Nazi content. And history falsification is also allowed.
The second part is illegal in many countries. Even if Nazi propaganda is legal, which it also isn't in some countries.

[-] otto@sh.itjust.works 7 points 5 months ago

Almost everything on X is pro Nazi content. How is this different?

[-] Buffalox@lemmy.world 14 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Well for one denial of holocaust is illegal in many countries. Often under wider rules that falsification of historical facts is illegal.

EU should ban Xitter, because it's a channel for history falsification and hate speech.

[-] otto@sh.itjust.works 6 points 5 months ago

That sounds nice. I wish it was like that here.

[-] Buffalox@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago

If you are in USA, I seriously wish so too, because the latrine that is the debate in USA is flowing over to the rest of the world.

Deleted twitter at least 10 years ago. I assume it's become a lot worse but is the vast majority of it really pro Nazi?

Well, duh, where else would a pro-Hitler, Holocaust-denying ad be?

Meta? Zuck has been extremely supportive of the nazis in power so far

This is it for the curious:

This is just related:

[-] SVcross@lemmy.world 23 points 5 months ago

Stop asking questions when you know the answer.

[-] beatnixxx@fedia.io 22 points 5 months ago

Because X is a nazi bar. For nazi's. Nazi's like this kind of thing.

[-] DFX4509B_2@lemmy.org 19 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Because look who's running it, that's why. If Musk isn't a full-blown Nazi, he's at minimum a Nazi sympathizer, which is still really bad.

You know why.

Also, get off Twitler

Why is water wet?

[-] lol_idk@lemmy.ml 14 points 5 months ago

It's the new Apple ad campaign

[-] RunningInRVA@lemmy.world 12 points 5 months ago

Because we all saw this coming after everybody voted for Trump last November. If you didn’t see it coming then you were just part of their plan.

[-] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 12 points 5 months ago

Why is anyone asking such an idiotic question?

[-] Buffalox@lemmy.world 8 points 5 months ago

For idiots to know the answer.

[-] ohellidk@sh.itjust.works 11 points 5 months ago

Cuz its X, that's why. I really don't know why we tolerate this shit, or why people still use that site.

[-] TeamAssimilation@infosec.pub 6 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

The ad paid money to the platform, and said platform has been increasingly permissive with hate, anger, and public opinion manipulation since Musk bought it.

[-] cupcakezealot 6 points 5 months ago

that's just elon's account

[-] Doorbook@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago
  • spend millions to create laws to protect a genocidal entity working towards ethnic cleansing Palestinians from their lands.
  • why Twitter have a Nazi and?

What do you expect from people who worked hard to support Zionist Nazi in their mission in genociding the Palestinians since WWII with historical knowing ties to Hitler, and allowing them to bluntly own all branches of government? It was evident at least since the attempt of ethnically cleansing Gaza that the US government and many fascist allies in Europe have no issue with white supremacy. They been actively and proudly stating their goals, but the American people got played with fake democracy until it reaches this moment.

[-] Saleh@feddit.org 6 points 5 months ago

Seriously, my first thought was looking forward to the ADL explaining why smiling Hitler denying the Holocaust is not antisemitic since it isnt against Israel or something.

How does this article not include a picture of the ad?
