Musk Allows a Neo-Nazi Back on Twitter After 10 Year Ban

It takes about 5 minutes to do a google search on Andrew Anglin for anyone that really wants to know who this low life is and what he has been up to lately...you'll get over a million hits and none of them state that he has found Jesus.
He is judged by his ACTIONS not by character assassination of so called "haters".
People are fed up with these Neo-Nazis and their followers and anyone that promotes their agenda.
 

Never heard of him nor care to. And I was half kidding when I mentioned Jesus. You missed the winking emoji in my text. But carry on as I am not the last word on a subject I know nothing about. I was only suggesting that things are not always as they seem nor as google nor wikipedia nor some news channels state. I remember seeing the protesters 2 years ago in the media that you've mentioned. I don't waste my time following protesters on the right nor left.

This misinformed hate-on-Musk thread is one of those times when I enjoy the sound of my feet walking away from things not meant for me.
Speaking of my feet...I never stepped foot in Twitter but I'm very aware of a now proven truth not even mentioned in this thread.

It goes well beyond Hunter's laptop. It's not about conservative nor liberal ideology. It's about systemic political bias, censorship, propaganda, misinformation, involvement of the FBI and high tech companies, etc. It's about exposed truths with proof now. And we'll have Musk to thank.

That laptop is just one Twitter discussion in hundreds of thousands. Musk's real bottom line is to eliminate censorship from the platform. I hope it catches on.

Not censoring to a degree will give bigots of all flavors a chance to spew their hate and recruit more into their fold. That's already a problem, although some of the most extreme...those planning attacks use the dark web. I think their needs to be a line that shouldn't be crossed when it comes to censorship.

I agree, as long as I can draw the line.

Little by little, tweet by tweet Musk will reveal himself, and eventually all will know his mind. Of course, those blinded by adoration of Musk or by their own prejudices will find means to ignore the truth.

I have to ask this question because I can’t figure out what the issue is that people have with Elon Musk. Can you tell me what it is that people believe Musk’s agenda is or what is causing all this anti-Musk sentiment?

What we need is for people to be informed, (and be capable of comprehension), enough to be able to say/think "Well that's bullshit" whenever bullshit presents itself.

Ok, we're talking about Twitter. Twitter. Renown for twits who tweet.

Buckeye, you are free to draw your lines wherever you want them. Everyone is. Not everyone does, but that's a headache they get to have.

I'll just keep my comment within the confines of the Twitter controversy. Musk's stated intent for "free speech" on the Twitter platform appears to be a vehicle to renew hate speech and anti-democracy conspiracy dissemination. But for those that embrace racism, homophobia and sedition, Musk's moves apparently don't pose a threat to their belief system.
 
It can take months if not years to fix a broken company like Twitter. And our lousy news media continues to give the impression that it can be done overnight. Talk about throwing stones when living in a glass house

You have used the words "appears to be" so that is your one-sided opinion, not fact. You are correct however that "Musk stated his intent for free speech". That's what democracy is all about. The hate-speech on Twitter was there before Musk took over. It's gotten worse because the haters have lost control of their one-sided narrative and they are ticked off the the other side now gets to be heard. Musk is restoring democracy's free speech. And what is that insult about "embracing racism, homophobia, and sedition" have to do with anything?

lol - and of course the whole point is that we all would draw that magic line in a different place, but we think our line is the right line, and that you should obey my line 100%. As was said in the post I was responding to, "a line that shouldn't be crossed".

And if you are concerned about the things that get posted on Twitter, don't go on to Twitter. Easy Peasy.

Does any thing that is posted on Twitter pose a threat to your own "belief system"?

@Lara, @Been There invited me to give my opinion, which I did. "one-sided opinion"....LOL is there any other kind? As a Musk follower you can look the other way, and excuse his behavior, but pardon me if I choose to keep both my eyes open. I can see that supporters aren't concerned about whose speech Musk suppresses, as long as he supports what his followers believe.

Nathan, you're the one following Twitter.
I've never stepped foot in Twitter. Nor will I.
But I do know that Musk's purpose is free speech for all.
It's about protecting our democracy.

@Lara, sorry but you're wrong in assuming that I follow Twitter. Like you, I've never stepped foot in Twitter. Nor will I.
You say you "know" that Musk's purpose is free speech for all....maybe comparing what he says to what he does will help you understand.
