Calling himself a “free speech absolutist”, Musk granted an amnesty to hundreds of accounts that had been kicked off the platform. Within hours, those belonging to right-wing Britain First leader Paul Golding, along with former deputy Jayda Fransen and the party itself, reappeared. “We’re absolutely pleased,” Golding says. “Now that we’re back on Twitter, our following is growing very, very rapidly.

I’m going to go ahead and say this is all by design.

Yep, now people who buy into Musk’s Twitter Blue are boosted on the site, and the only people willing to buy into that are right wingers and bootlickers

He’s desperate to make Twitter profitable, so he’s embracing the biggest bunch of marks on the planet, the supporters of right-wing politicians.

As one had asked to define ‘far right’: I just stumbled upon the article on a white nationalist publisher’s data exposed in Amazon cloud leak

The right winger in the article is the US citizen Greg Johnson. His views reveal a completely insane state of mind. How out of touch can one get?

Define far-right

Probably just wants common-sense immigration.

Define far-right

Scroll down a bit, it’s a tiny sample what it means.

I did. It’s just a bunch of articles, all randomly served up. Looks like common sense immigration policy, common sense environmental policy, that sort of thing.

Man, y’all are just stuck in your echo chambers, aren’t you?

You keep using this phrase “common sense”. I don’t think you exactly know what it means.

Buddy, these are not the people you want to defend. Paul Golding has been arrested a half dozen times for stupid bullshit. He’s been convicted in terrorism charges. Jayda has been arrested with him as well, numerous times for religious aggravated harassment and other things. They are literally a WORSE version of the Marjorie Taylor Greens and Lauren Boebert of the UK.

And you call all these things “common sense” policies which is laughable. Their environmental “policy” is to just deny climate change completely. So common sense is to ignore the scientific consensus?

Yeah I don’t think you know what common sense means there friend… its good to take a serious moral inventory of yourself every now and then. Also it might help to brush up on economics, immigration and human empathy… hope you never find yourself in a situation a lot of immigrants find themselves in…

They really are. People will increasingly move to the right all across Europe because they refuse to compromise. Oh well. Democracy will prevail :)
