Wouldn’t it have been amazing if you linked to the same video again to troll everyone, and I comment to confirm that it is the right video while the whole time it is not?

Musk has continued to place his personal proclivity for right-wing content and influencers over brand – and really overall user – safety. For example, last month, Musk personally intervened to restore a right-wing influencer’s account after they were suspended for posting photos of child exploitation.

Hold on, maybe I’ve figured it out. Endless magical profits, here I come!

Step 4. Be ultra-wealthy. (Bonus for not paying taxes.) Step 5. Do anything. (Bonus for pretending it’s profitable.)

Nah, it’s selling to Yahoo, then getting your parent company acquired by Verizon, then having Verizon spin your parent company off again.

Just FYI: I can see the video on YouTube but piped gets stuck at showing the loading animation.

Safari on iOS with NextDNS and an adblocker. My dns settings are pretty unforgiving, but I wouldn’t expect YouTube to pass the checks and piped to fail.

I got curious about just how bad said Nazi content is, and managed to find an article with some screenshots: https://nypost.com/2023/08/17/x-suspends-pro-hitler-account-after-brands-paused-ads/

Spoiler: very Nazi.

So it’s not just Nazi-compatible ideas. It’s straight out Nazi symbolism.

I really don’t get these people - even if you believe the Nazis were right, you know they are the most hated historical faction in the world. Wouldn’t it be better to advocate their ideas without explicitly associating yourself with them, just to avoid the (completely justified) knee-jerk reaction?

You’re suggesting that Nazi’s use their famous critical thinking skills to understand that 99% of the world hates them and their ideology?

Has there ever been any intelligent right-wing movements? Pretty much every white supremacist has the IQ of a fairly cool room. They claim to be the superior race, while providing absolutely no evidence of this.

They want the negative reaction. They thrive on being hated. Similar with some of the worst Internet trolls. The hatred validates them.

Your link just shows the blinking X and “someone ‘paused’ (e.g stopped) doing business” with “x”.

Or am I missing something?

That’s why they invented the term “alt-right”.

I don’t think raising swastika flags counts as “without explicitly associating yourself with them”.
