  it’s been not even an entire business day, I am not surprised when the narrative has been “oh no Elon Musk is going to remove all censorship on Twitter!” that people started posting garbage trying to test this exact theory, let’s give it some time to actually play out, this “death spiral” stuff just sounds like more fake news

    Today, Musk himself tweeted conspiracy theories about Nancy Pelosi's husband after the attempted assassination. The fish rots from the head down.

      > attempted assassination That "Where's Nancy?" line comes from the report of a single police officer on scene, none of the others heard it. We don't have the cam footage or sound from the PD or the Pelosi residence yet. When CNN reported that (and they are the only ones who have done so, everyone else is regurgitating their report), they were trying to make political hay out of the situation. Paul Pelosi refers to the assailant as 'friend' to the 911 dispatcher. Perhaps that was coded language to protect himself, but we do not know. We do know that the attack on Paul Pelosi occurred in front of police after they arrived. It is simply too early to know for sure what the motivations or intentions were of either Paul Pelosi or David Depape that morning.

        Yes every mainstream media source must be verified by 4 independent eyewitnesses and police body cam footage, but what musk linked to is "probably true" cause "trust me bro."

        Meanwhile the opposing viewpoint is being pushed by… *checks*… the Santa Monica Observer. A real bastion of credibility.

  Oh no, not the Internet Nazis! They might say mean things and act racist!
  - sofixa 4y ago
    Yes. Normal people prefer not to see and hear Nazis, so any platform infested by them would just be left by all normal people.
    - otabdeveloper4 4y ago
      Good, so let the free market handle this then. No need for censorship. (Actual terror groups do indeed use social networking to coordinate. No, "Internet Nazis" aren't them.)

    The fact you think Nazis are left wing (you know, an ideology literally based on racial superiority theories, instead of class as would be the case if they were left wing; not to mention all their anti-labour policies like banning unions) shows that you don't know what words mean. Tons of ink has been written on Nazis, what they were, and what Neo-nazis are today, so it's just willful ignorance at this point. It's not rocket brain surgery, it doesn't take a PhD to understand a political ideology.

      Socialist are left-wing ideologue. And their name has socialist in it. Ergo they are left-wing. Ofc, the left wing wants to hide their evils so they have fought hard to brand them right. But that doesn't change how words and reality works.

        Socialist means something. If a group forms today for an Armenian national ethnostate wanting to commit genocide against Serbs, with nothing even vaguely socialist in their actions, and calls themselves the National Armenian Socialist League, are they socialist? Is the Democratic People's Republic of Korea a democratic republic? No, and no. National Socialism took the "socialism" to attribute themselves popular pro-left sentiments, same as Mussolini who originally started on the left but pivoted hard to the right. The whole Nazi ideology is based on racial superiority. Their economic policies favoured big business and crushed labour (no unions, limiting employee protections, etc.). There is nothing they did that could be described as socialist, regardless of their name.

        I think people do not read as much political theory as they used too, probably because it isn't as trendy as it was pre 90s, and that's why you have to explain simple things like this. I saw it on the left (amongst anarchists/plateformists and postmarxists), and i used to be quite bummed about that, but it came to my attention that on the far-right, this was way worst. Their most recent "theory" is from Renaud Camus, and is basically a rehash of a protofascist theory en vogue around 1905. Called the "Grand remplacement". This is why i don't really care about protofascists in Italy or sweden. They are stupidly dangerous, but they are intellectually in the 19th century. They don't really have new authors (i mean, did you read Renaud Camus past the first 20 pages?), they don't have painters, architects, or filmmakers. They cannot build a culture on this, so they have to scramble something based on religion.

What other Musk project ever went like that? It's possible the way a galaxy in the exact shape and colors of a neon "Eat at Joe's" sign is.

How likely is it to be free when Elon plans to have people pay for a verified account?
