Courting actual Nazis, white supremacists, MAGA extremists and pushing them into prominence on feeds. And his constant need to feed his ego.
- lazyeye 3y agoCan you provide examples of this? And I mean genuine extremists rather than just people you disagree with.
- wahnfrieden 3y agoHe brought back anyone previously banned for open naziism such as Andrew Anglin and more recently Patriotic Alternative. And some suspicious several “14 88” referencing tweets. There’s also the Nazi meme he posted. Then the Nazi with several huge Nazi tattoos that he defended as unlikely to be a Nazi. Or the groyper memeing. Then the Angelicism / Milady Maker memeing, an nft project made by crypto neonazis with anime swastika homepages
- lazyeye 3y agoI checked just now and Andrew Anglin's account is suspended. I wasnt able to find a Patriotic Alternative account and when I searched on it, the overwhelming majority of the tweets were critical. And the content of the so-called nazi meme appears to have nothing to do with Nazism other than the shape of a helmet. It's actually about the speed of technology change. And from what I can tell Nick Fuentes/Groyper thing was on twitter for 24hrs before being suspended. So I dunno....it looks like you are providing a distorted view to support a narrative. If I wanted to I'm sure I could find all kinds of other hate content on the fringes that is equally nasty but sits outside the "narrative" we are constantly being force-fed.
- wahnfrieden 3y agoyou haven't looked much. those are also people who were let back and again suspended after obvious and newsworthy pressure from advertisers. lmk if you want more detail... or if you're unserious about this I didn’t say he’s very effective so far at whatever he’s doing. He caves to pressure and material realities like anyone and covers ass
- lazyeye 3y agoSure if you have some links although Im assuming itll be some leftwing news outlets doing what you appear to be doing, which is dressing up supposition and hearsay as fact. Generally for me I mostly ignore the media as I find its largely distortions and half-truths. Not to mention Twitter is increasingly their competitor so unlikely to be objective anyway. I just go on what I see with my own eyes and it seems pretty clean to me.
- wahnfrieden 3y agoAll those were ones I saw first hand
- lazyeye 3y agook my experience is very different. Here's a short video on this exact topic of an interview with Elon Musk and a BBC "journalist" (I use that label very loosely). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XqJKAnN0-gM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XqJKAnN0-gM
- wahnfrieden 3y agoIdk what you’re showing me, a bad interviewer Elon accepted and edited by Daily Caller. Goodbye
- lazyeye 3y agoJust mentioning as your comments reminded me of the BBC guy.
- concordDance 3y agoI'm skeptical given how often I've seen people be accused of being nazis and upon investigating discovering to my disappointment some rather milktoast views that would have been mainstream in 1990. Can you name an actual nazi he is courting?
