Maybe the solution is to stay off Twitter, but it’s very disturbing to see the normalization of slurs happening in real time on there. White people saying the n-word with approval, the return of saying “gay” as a pejorative, lots of casual racism against Indian men, using the r-slur to describe something seen as stupid. I don’t know whether this is a larger cultural lurch to the right, or whether it’s mostly attributed to Musk’s elimination of quality control and monitors on the platform.

    I deleted Twitter a few days ago after finding myself spending a hugely undesirable amount of time dunking on Nazis and seeing absolutely zero engagement for the most part. On a previous account I would get sometimes hundreds of likes- oh that got banned for something like saying anti-white racism is a myth. Can’t remember exactly. So it’s just a waste of time unless you like to yell into the void which can feel good, I won’t deny that.

    I think at this point, specifically following Herr Musk’s (German accent on that) visit to Israel and subsequent 69ing with the ADL, the Nazi rhetoric and the total non-consequences and promotion of Nazi content and banning of common sense but “woke” to them (like anti white racism being a myth) content is full tilt self destruction, 4chan mode and it’s actually just a negative experience overall to be on there. Even if you cultivate a fully leftist follow list, block all the Nazis you see, the Elon algo still places new Nazis in front of you day after day to farm your rage engagement.

    As far as these people existing IRL… meh. I wouldn’t say it’s particularly worse than it has been in the last 10 years or so, but it’s probably on an upswing specifically because of platforms like Twitter making it seem normal.

    The biggest cucked move by Biden’s FTC was not yoinking Twitter from Elon. They could just do it and tell him to suck a cock, appeal it if he wants, and drag it forever. Governments have that massive power. But not if they self-cuck because they ultimately don’t really disagree with the Zionist Nazi propaganda on there everyday…
