    Nazi platform.

    Make sure to stop clicking on Nazi links when people post them. No matter how bad you want to see someone “prank” someone or cry about their perceived persecution.

    We need to stop making a Nazi platform important enough that it hurts democratic politicians when they lose access because of the Nazi in charge of said platform.

      and if you absolutely must see something on twitter, use xcancel instead.

      its a frontend for the same content, that doesn’t add views or ad revenue to twitter.

      Ekrem is Kemalist, which is very similar to a literal Nazi, but in the current world I’ll even agree he’s kinda better than many other variants.

      I hear often Nazi this Nazi that? I think it has lost meaning. Can you explain what Nazi is? Vs Nazi from like WW2?

        As a serious answer, Musk is into modern variants of eugenics and some scary techno-authoritarian stuff he shares with Peter Theil and other Silicon Valley royalty.

        Maybe he’s a techno-neonazi? That’s just semantics.

        His alleged Nazi salute is indeed kind of a red herring. But “Nazi” is an reasonable enough descriptor for his beliefs.

          Note how Jin, the Nazi Defender (not a Nazi themselves, they just defend people who are justifiably called Nazis) won’t respond to your answer.

          One feature from Reddit I liked was the ability to tag people. Or maybe that was the reddit enhancement suite. But Jin would’ve earned himself a big red “Nazi Defender” tag.

            Nah its much simpler label than that.

            “Troll”

            The topic doesn’t matter, it more about fishing for provocation. In this case I couldn’t help myself, but… you know, don’t feed the trolls.

        If you perform a Nazi salute, you’re a Nazi.

        Musk performed TWO Nazi salutes on national television during a presidential inauguration.

        Musk owns X.

        Anymore questions? Do I need to illustrate with crayons?

          Some would say a Roman salute 🫡 So anything else substantial? That can’t be interpreted as something else?

        The word ‘nazi’ has 100% lost its meaning.

        Might as well just be saying “I don’t like this person or group of people because they disagree with me.”

          Nazis are opposed to the basic human rights of anyone who isn’t a white hetero, usually a man.

          Nazi sympathisers deserve a bullet in the head. That includes you.

            I guess we can start adding ‘nazi sympathizer’ to the list of terms that have lost their meaning.

            Remember, you only have people like yourself to blame.
