Highlights: [P]aid clout-chasers on X, formerly Twitter, are using the conflict to boost their profiles — and a few who have successfully pivoted to pro-Palestine content were formerly known for hate speech, extremism, and conspiracy theories.
Other verified accounts that have quickly increased in size over the past several weeks by focusing on the suffering of Palestinians, but previously displayed a pattern of transphobic and LGBTQ comments, include former UFC and MMA fighter Jake Shields, banned YouTuber Ryan Dawson, and an anonymous “anti-woke” account called “Lord Bebo.”
Lol I got banned from one of the world news communities for “genocide denial” for pointing out that Biden might be reasonable for doubting the exact death toll numbers coming out of Gaza’s government in that we should be reasonably skeptical of the claims from both sides of this war since they’re both demonstrably willing to lie to shift blame.
Lol, “hate speech”. So Orwellian.
Twitter is a welfare plan for neo Nazis.
The title makes it sound like twitter now lets you pay to become a “verified hate speech account”, which doesn’t sound that unrealistic these days.
They don’t pivot lol, Israel is literally the only safe place in the Middle East for trans and LGBTQ people. Islam is violently anti-woke by definition, not to mention all of its more extremist appendages. One must be completely stupid to not understand it.
Yeah and they’re all conspiracy theorist anti-liberal accounts, that whole sphere is built on anti-Semitism. Like it takes thirty seconds in a conversation with someone in there’s groups to hear that the Jews are using LGBT and anti-racism to destroy Western society, that Jews control the world and they own the world bank which funded COVID to spread communism…
Yes most of them hate Muslims but they think Jews are the cause of all their problems, they think ‘the matrix’ is a Jewish plot, they think gay and trans people are a Jewish plot, they think George Soros is personally stopping them getting promoted at work and the their ex wife left them because the Rothschild’s turned her and the weens against them.
There is zero mystery here.
You can support Palestine, a 2 state solution, etc. and also support LGBTQ rights
