>Imagine if your favorite neighborhood bar turned into a Nazi hangout.
There's really only 1 demographic who is prominent anti-jew or anti-israel on X. I dont really interact with them much these days. Yesterday @JJ_mccullough did a poll of his audience about israel.
16% fierce supporter of israel, 26% support but have doubts, 37% they're very indefensible, 11% oppose israel's existence.
If X was such a nazi hangout, I'd expect that poll to go much more differently.
Here's something that happened in Toronto

They say over 50,000 people should up for 'israel walk' or really to support the jews in this unprecedented time of antisemitism. In my circle of followers there was a ton of support for jews; certainly no nazis.

1 guy making a controversial video to try to stay relevant? Probably having a mental health issue? I went to look for this. His account isnt available in search.

On his whole account. Then each post is censored as well with the same warning.
Not exactly a nazi hangout when the 1 example is rather difficult to find.
- throw310822 1y agoOn this subject, I think it's wrong to use "nazi" as a synonym of "antisemitic". Yes, Nazism was ferociously so, but it was primarily a suprematist nationalistic ideology, based on the cult of superior strength and hell-bent on conquering the lands of "inferior peoples" because it was in their "historical destiny" to settle them. In this, there is a strong resemblance between nazism and zionism, and I am not surprised that the staunchest supporters of Israel are to be found in the hard right. Frankly, I'm not sure why a nazi today would oppose Israel rather than look at it as an example to imitate.
- FinnLobsien 1y agoAgreed, I think the word "nazi" does the article a disservice. Whether or not it's specifically nazi ideology or alt-right or something else, it's undeniable that the X/Twitter home page now is filled with explicit racism and otherwise disturbing content or, at its mildest, the most extreme opinions on mundane topics. Whatever ideology, I find the X feed extremely inflammatory.
