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

Next question.

Holy shit. Thank you so much!

But you didn't stop doing it

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

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 month ago (3 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago

Nazis do both at the same time because they lie

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month 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.

[–] [email protected] 82 points 1 month 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.

is this a rhetorical question?

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago (4 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (3 children)

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.

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

Sure it's an ad and not just the owner's tweets?

Oh yeah, I too hate Hitler only because of Schindlers list. I grew up in Europe in the 80s and there is absolutely no other reason than that movie why we should hate him, really! The guy could do no wrong, he even loved dogs! Hell, he even painted! Bos Ross paints too, why would you hate Bob Ross? Don't hate Hitler, he's like Bob Ross!

I feel like I need to shower and apologize to Bob after writing this.

This is it for the curious:

This is just related:

How is that a serious question? Are they trying to be deliberately obtuse, or are they just fucking stupid?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Just asking questions makes it harder to sue under English libel law.

Look at the difference.

Elon musk is a Nazi.

A clear factual statement leaves room for disagreement. Maybe he's just an edgelord fascist radicalized by 4chan but doesn't have enough fashion sense to be a Nazi.

Elon musk is a Nazi?

Perfectly safe.

Stop asking questions when you know the answer.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 month ago

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

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

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 anyone asking such an idiotic question?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago

For idiots to know the answer.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 month ago

It's the new Apple ad campaign

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 month 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.

I have added Elon to my block keywords, but lately the circlejerk had somehow seeped its way out onto my feed.

Could anyone share other blocked terms they find effective?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

Add Elmo and pedoguy.

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

I don't think the question is if there was one.

The question is, would anyone be surprised if there was?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago

You know why. We all know why.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

Gee I wonder why. Truly a mystery for the chronicles. /s

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

that's just elon's account
