Politics X sues Media Matters over report about ads appearing next to Nazi posts

If Barfo wrote something like, "All non-pirates need to be executed," and I quoted him and responded with, "you are speaking the actual truth," how would you feel? Would you infer that I agreed with him? What if later I qualified that with, "I have nothing against non-pirates, but all of this hate needs to stop."? Would that somehow negate my agreeing with the initial statement?

Your logic here makes no sense, and only acts to enable highly shitty genocidal language. It makes you sound like a Nazi sympathizer.

 

You are speaking the actual truth.


But to clarify, I don't hate non-pirates, I just agree that they all should die. There, I am in the clear now. Pheww.

 

Okay. Please show me the links or screenshots in which Musk did this and I'll take this post seriously and apologize.

 

I knew we were getting dumbed down but now people play connect the dots without clear dots to connect. They just add dots where needed in order to finish painting their picture.
Its jsut crazy.
We should go back to color by numbers. But then people are already saying 2+2 = 5.
Were so lost when people cant separate facts from opinions and alot of that is happening in here….

 

You have already seen it. It has been mentioned several times, including in a link you posted.



Unless you think agreeing with anti-jewish conspiracy theories is A-okay. This is the same conspiracy espoused by every neo-nazi on the planet, including those that have already acted on the their beliefs, like the Tree of Life synagogue shooter.

You think this is okay? You think this is a normal thing to call "the actual truth?" Are some of your synapses not firing?

 

I don’t think anything you write is compelling conversation, fucking idiotic.

 

That link isn't the same as what you posted. Nobody is advocating for any harm against anyone as far as I can tell.

Perhaps I'm just not knowledgeable enough regarding these claims to know I should be upset.

I've never seen Musk support harming anybody or make any statements about the behavior of any specific race, so it just looks to me like he's gotten frustrated with some blowback he's receiving, possibly due to the Starlink/Ukraine situation.

Judging by the way I've heard him discussing the Israel/Palestine conflict he didn't come off as an antisemite.

This seems to make the most sense to me.

However, if he's going to allow offensive propaganda on his platform and then run ads next to it he's probably not going to keep many sponsors. This is partly why I think he'll fail with X.

It still seems a reach to be calling somebody a racist for calling out somebody as displaying racist or antisocial tendencies... Or to be associating it with any kind of conspiracy.

That seems like a dangerous precedent.

But, as I said, I fully support the companies pulling out from having their ads displayed next to offensive content.

 

Excellent! That's exactly the kind of comment we've come to expect from you.

 

This feels more and more like trying to talk to an antivaxxer. No matter how many studies you show demonstrating the difference in infection and death rates between vaccinated and unvaccinated they keep saying there is no connection.

 

Its very dangerous but far from a precedent. Some have been connecting dots like this for years….

 

It's a classic anti-jewish conspiracy theory. Calling it the truth only means one thing. I'm not sure if you are purposefully obfuscating this, or if you are truly incapable of understanding. I am astounded by how much you are bending over backwards for this.

You can surely reply to this, as is your right, but I think I am done talking to you. This is the kind of behavior that "good Germans" had that allowed Nazism to take power. I hope you do some reading and some soul-searching before it comes to that.

 

Unfortunately I wasn't greeted with studies. Mostly just people claiming that calling somebody a hypocrite is the same as saying they want that person executed.

And then attacking a person for being dubious of that claim.

However, some people were interested in sharing information, so it's more clear now after reading some of the additional links that the ADL has a problem with what Musk is allowing on X (reasonably so, as do many others), and he's getting a ton of pressure for it from from sponsors.

It doesn't seem like that far of a stretch to link his response here as being directed at the ADL due to that corporate pressure. I'd welcome any other links anybody would like to share.

I apologize if my ignorance of the situation has offended some of you. That wasn't my intention.

I'm still not convinced Musk is racist or antisemitic, but I do appreciate the additional links that have been shared and feel I am now better educated on the topic and will be more aware in the future.
