I do, and tweet about, a lot of stuff ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[Pod607 @pod607]

I still won't post anything remotely interesting but I'm switching over at BleuCiel, same @

@MonsieurRDpv Super !

@MonsieurRDpv Super !

Also, did I understand correctly that:

White supremacists should not be defined by their ideology, you're okay with them personally as long as they're nice with you and your friends

?

[Pod607 @pod607]

There is no neutrality in the face of political oppression.

So I'm asking, again, in full quote-tweet, public display fashion, again

What's wrong with you?

[Pod607 @pod607]

See, this is exactly the kind of stuff I wish I didn't have to read in my social circle and that makes me lose my temper

There's an apartheid-nostalgic, dogwhistling, MAGA-campaigning crook who bought an entire social media and uses it actively to champion the far right, and 1/

[Pod607 @pod607]

"just" in utter denial, or maliciously complying with the ambient alt-right rhetoric

These are important issues, we have friends in common who are seeing their rights progressively being taken away, and you apparently refuse? to call fascist propaganda for what it is. 3/

[Pod607 @pod607]

@antonie_P_81 @america So yeah I expected better from you, that surprised me quite a bit given your entourage, hence the snapping at you

If you still choose to be dismissive and passive-aggressive about that next time we see each other, after some cooling time, that will be disappointing tbh

[Pod607 @pod607]

I said El Moscato is a fucking natsi who uses this platform as a means of propaganda, and you carefully replied "I think that's far from the truth"

So either you really haven't been paying any attention to any kind of news, and that's a problem in itself

Or you're taking 1/2

[Pod607 @pod607]

@antonie_P_81 @america Third, I still think you shouldn't be dismissive, and you should probably have a long think about why that made me so mad, because I know you're smarter than this

You have LGBT/poc friends who will *need* you to do better about this, "apolitical" is a luxury they can't afford

[Pod607 @pod607]

@antonie_P_81 @america The nazi salute debacle this week

https://t.co/DmgZyuHojS

Cherry on top there's the explicitly white supremacist and/or LGBTphobic content that's not moderated any more

It's hard to take in that you missed all this and are willing to argue for the opposite 3/3

[Pod607 @pod607]

@antonie_P_81 @america The campaign that was given the official yellow tick, is probably controlled from within X, and was presented as neutral, but was only posting anti-democrat stuff

There's the community notes being weaponized to introduce confusion in fact checking, a glaring example from 2/3

@tristanmf je vous suggère d’étudier un peu l’autisme ( ou troubles similaires) pour info: ils ne savent pas faire semblant, ils ne connaissent pas le second degré et la manipulation ils disent ce qu’ils pensent directement: quand il dit “my heart goes to you” c la vérité ce geste est naïf

[Joshua Reed Eakle 🗽 @JoshEakle]

And no, I’m not claiming that Elon Musk is a card-carrying neo-Nazi.

What I am saying is that Musk isn’t an idiot. He likely knew exactly who he was signaling to with his actions, and those groups—the Nazis—are more than happy to celebrate it. They see it as a clear sign that their ideology is gaining power and legitimacy.

Just a couple examples attached.

[Joshua Reed Eakle 🗽 @JoshEakle]

I’ve been reflecting on this over the past day or so, and I’ve come to a realization.

Many of my friends on the center-right who are upset with me for making what I believe to be very obvious observations aren’t necessarily angry at me—they’re angry at the implications of what I’m saying.

The idea that neo-Nazism has entered the mainstream, potentially influencing the White House, is so alarming and existentially terrifying that it's easier to lash out at the messenger than confront the reality.

If they accept this, it means that the political home they've invested so much of their identity in, the movement they've championed for years, has become something so morally repugnant that accepting it feels like breaking their own brain.

The cognitive dissonance is overwhelming.

What's striking to me is the selective outrage. Many of these same people are quick to call everyone communists, often with little more than circumstantial evidence.

Yet, when it comes to countless instances of glaringly obvious signs of fascism in their own movement, they either look away or attack those pointing it out.

[Oleksandra Povoroznyk 🇺🇦 @rynkrynk]

If Elon Musk really didn’t want his gesture to be interpreted as a nazi salute he could’ve just hopped online and said ‘hey you guys, I think nazis are deplorable and I was miming tossing my heart out to the audience’. Instead he’s posting about the dangers of multiculturalism.

[Liv @Liv_Agar]

My take on the Elon Hitler salute thing is that it was unintentional in the sense that he intended to make it a more ambiguous hand gesture with plausible deniability but completely fucked it up
