Here someone is challenging my use of pro-fascist to describe the dead bird site. "Pro-fascist? Really?"
Yes, really.
-- Elon personally intervened to get the pro-Nazi, pro-Hitler, anti-semetic Kanye West reinstated.
-- Twitter is a haven for groups like White Lives Matter California, an organization the Southern Poverty Law Center has designated a hate group.
-- Musk has threatened to sue researchers tracking hate speech on the platform
-- The dead bird paid Andrew Tate $20k and End Wokeness $10k.
-- It paid $16k to Ian Miles Cheong, a far-right user has used Twitter to falsely identify an innocent Black man as the “number one suspect” in the shooting of two police officers
-- It has paid QAnon influencer Jacob Creech.
-- Elmo has called for the the QAnon shaman who particpated in the Jan. 6 riot to be freed.
-- He has defended the Jan 6 rioters, saying they were peaceful.
-- He reinstated Michael Flynn.
I could go on an on, but I would burn up way too much time because there are so many more examples.
My point is: Twitter most definitely welcomes, encourages and even pays for far-right extremist views that include anti-semitism, support for Hitler and nazis, and support for an illegal riot that saw multiple members of the Capitol Police brutally killed.
I stand by my description of Twitter as "pro-fascist."
the point that's never made is he holds the reins of the algo. all those people being on the #fediverse would be fine in the same way that them having websites isn't a problem. but on #Xitter, he can force people to see their shit even if they're following Biden, NYT etc. every celebrity, govt official, corporation and news outlet etc who remains there is forcing their followers to see whatever Elon decides to show them. and the same can eventually be true on every closed platform.
