The great purge... of alt-right, white supremacist accounts, yes.
- vidarh 10y agoI love how the guy they've talked to compares his banning to Hitlers purge of SA leaders. The purge of SA happened after Hindenburg threatened Hitler with martial law if Hitler didn't reign in SA (though Hitler had his own motives for going along with it - they were a threat to him as well), which were seen as particularly nasty and brutal. Comparing yourself with the people that other parts of German society at the time literally saw as worse than Hitler is perhaps not quite what to go for when trying to elicit sympathy. He should at the very least then not complain if people call him a nazi.

- Animats 10y agoThis may backfire. White Power is mainstream now.

- eli_gottlieb 10y agoMainstream is not a synonym for "morally acceptable". It's a battleground of what we allow to be normal.
