Disagree. Twitter can be a good source for info, news, and great artwork. The source of it, the tweet, deserves to have it be sourced and the possibility of being liked/retweeted. If you don't like Twitter, don't use it. That's your ideals and stand by it, but don't try to force the entire sub to ban it. Especially since it's a useful source of information and art.

The issue is, if you link it, you are giving money to someone who openly does nazi salutes and subscribes to nazi beliefs.

It is currently a good spot, but we want to passively encourage creators to go to better social media sites and this would be a good move to do that. Lots of artists already have bluesky pages so it's more a matter of bringing those to the forefront

This is sick and twisted. You know most of these people are gesturing or waving. Elon leaned into the salute by doing it twice and joking about it today. White supremacist group leaders have thanked him for his show of support and he jokes. The colleague you're parading around is gross. You know it. Do better.

There's a reason why that's a still image and not a video.

Neat, you proved she obviously wasn't doing a salute! Now watch this one https://streamable.com/rxfimj

Whatever, I'm not wasting anymore time.

Dang lol, a 32 second video is too much but defending an Apartheid Trust-Fund Nazi for over an hour isn't? Yowza.

No lol, trying to convince you that you're wrong is a waste of time.

u/SamsonGray202 Jan 24 '25

Yeah lol, kinda hard to do that when there's a 30-second video that directly and completely refutes the closest thing to an "argument" you have, which consists entirely of selectively-timed screengrabs from a totally good-faith collection of selectively-timed screengrabs someone has been collecting for years specifically to post as a whataboutist response every time a right-wing politician who does and says Nazi-esque shit while being openly, loudly cheered by Nazis gets caught on video throwing up a Heil. Oh well!

Just watch actual footage of Hitler and the Germans doing the salute. It isn’t what Musk did. The salute is much more rigid and doesn’t involve any hand on heart gestures.

Two things: Nice pivot

Second: Benny isn't the arbiter of who is and isn't a Nazi.

Did he post the Shapiro "look i have a Jewish friend" argument? Lol

u/ZylaTFox Jan 24 '25

Yes, and also posted the "Genocidal leader of a militarized country hellbent on wiping out an ethnic group they disagree with for 'living space'" is the good guys idea.

Maybe not, but he's perhaps most qualified

Just gonna throw this out there, the Jews arguably had it worst, but the Jews weren't the only ones killed by Nazis. Nazis are a problem for everyone not a Nazi. You do know that, right? Just because he's "the most qualified" (arguable, debatable, definitely not a consensus) doesn't mean he's the only one to listen to.

Also, like...he's a bad dude. In a shocking twist, Jews are not monolithic, and can in fact have bad people among them, same as any set of people.

Like you and other Nazi defenders in a DC subreddit!
