The site is literally bought, paid for, and owned by a nazi.

Next question.

Holy shit. Thank you so much!

But you didn't stop doing it

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 176 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (2 children)

It might seem trivial, but this stupid headline points to one reason Republicans have been winning. Everyone (notably journalists) still feels the need to "play the game" as they've always known it.

Oh, Candidate A said something? The game rules say you now have to run a quote in response from Candidate B.

But when Candidate B is an openly corrupt, lying, fascist, rapist shitpile who can't make it to the potty in time and is in the pocket of Russia, maybe take the fucking gloves off at some point and stop pretending you can or SHOULD be impartial. Here, watch:

After Public Nazi Salute Musk-Owned X Now Running Pro-Hitler, Holocaust-Denying Ads

It's not perfect, yet still worlds better.

After Public Nazi Salute Musk-Owned X Now Running Pro-Hitler, Holocaust-Denying Ads

Because they're scared. Print that, get buried in lawsuits by the richest edge lord in history.

You have to be smarter than this and actually defund his backers. Make it incredibly hard for them to be associated with him. Show him as a losing proposition.

As long as he's winning, people are buying Tesla's, the US is financing public money into space X, and multinationals are active and paying for Twitter then nothing is going to change.

[–] DudeImMacGyver@kbin.earth 13 points 2 weeks ago

Tesla sales are dropping and drivers are getting harassed already, we'll see I guess.

Because X is owned by a pro-hitler probably Holocaust-denying shit heal.

[–] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 19 points 1 week ago (3 children)

He doesn't deny the holocaust. He sees it as a good idea.

[–] MentallyExhausted@reddthat.com 12 points 1 week ago

Nazis do both at the same time because they lie

[–] communism@lemmy.ml 10 points 1 week ago

It's quite common for nazis to do both. "The death count is inflated, but they deserved it anyway/I wish it were more" and such.

Because pro-Hitler, Holocaust-denying content aligns with the platforms ownership and doesn’t receive an appropriate response from a user base who learned about aliens on History and history on Fox News entertainment.

is this a rhetorical question?

[–] Buffalox@lemmy.world 23 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

Yes, the article is meant to expose that the rules of X literally don't prevent pro Nazi content. And history falsification is also allowed.
The second part is illegal in many countries. Even if Nazi propaganda is legal, which it also isn't in some countries.

[–] otto@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 weeks ago (4 children)

Almost everything on X is pro Nazi content. How is this different?

[–] Buffalox@lemmy.world 15 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

Well for one denial of holocaust is illegal in many countries. Often under wider rules that falsification of historical facts is illegal.

EU should ban Xitter, because it's a channel for history falsification and hate speech.

[–] otto@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

That sounds nice. I wish it was like that here.

Well, duh, where else would a pro-Hitler, Holocaust-denying ad be?

Sure it's an ad and not just the owner's tweets?

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 20 points 2 weeks ago

Oh yeah, I too hate Hitler only because of Schindlers list. I grew up in Europe in the 80s and there is absolutely no other reason than that movie why we should hate him, really! The guy could do no wrong, he even loved dogs! Hell, he even painted! Bos Ross paints too, why would you hate Bob Ross? Don't hate Hitler, he's like Bob Ross!

I feel like I need to shower and apologize to Bob after writing this.

How is that a serious question? Are they trying to be deliberately obtuse, or are they just fucking stupid?

[–] OhNoMoreLemmy@lemmy.ml 10 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Just asking questions makes it harder to sue under English libel law.

Look at the difference.

Elon musk is a Nazi.

A clear factual statement leaves room for disagreement. Maybe he's just an edgelord fascist radicalized by 4chan but doesn't have enough fashion sense to be a Nazi.

Elon musk is a Nazi?

Perfectly safe.

This is it for the curious:

This is just related:

[–] SVcross@lemmy.world 25 points 1 week ago

Stop asking questions when you know the answer.

[–] beatnixxx@fedia.io 21 points 2 weeks ago

Because X is a nazi bar. For nazi's. Nazi's like this kind of thing.

[–] DFX4509B_2@lemmy.org 20 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

Because look who's running it, that's why. If Musk isn't a full-blown Nazi, he's at minimum a Nazi sympathizer, which is still really bad.

Also, get off Twitler

Why is anyone asking such an idiotic question?

[–] Buffalox@lemmy.world 10 points 2 weeks ago

For idiots to know the answer.

[–] ohellidk@sh.itjust.works 11 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Cuz its X, that's why. I really don't know why we tolerate this shit, or why people still use that site.

Because we all saw this coming after everybody voted for Trump last November. If you didn’t see it coming then you were just part of their plan.

[–] Realitaetsverlust@lemmy.zip 11 points 2 weeks ago

I don't think the question is if there was one.

The question is, would anyone be surprised if there was?

[–] saltesc@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

I have added Elon to my block keywords, but lately the circlejerk had somehow seeped its way out onto my feed.

Could anyone share other blocked terms they find effective?

[–] Alphane_Moon@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

Add Elmo and pedoguy.
