Comment on X revokes paid blue check from United Auto Workers after strike called

  As if they’re not openly making plans to do precisely that to to visibly queer people. Guess we don’t need to worry about the Nazis because they’re doing things in a slightly different order this time around, right?

    This is a thread about Twitter blue check marks.

      It’s a thread about a far-right asshole going after unions with whatever he has at this disposal.

    That’s a pretty bold allegation. Any proof or are you just slippery sloping the shit out of a blue check mark?

      How about the history of the state of Florida over the last five years

        We aren’t talking about Florida. This is about X.

      Read about Project 2025. The far is right is announcing its intentions to anyone who will listen.

        Wait, we jumped from X removing a blue check mark to the far right spouting nonsense? That’s a huge leap

  before the Nazi party came to power, they would show up to rallys, protests and town squares to silence political oponnents through intimidation and physical violence.
  A lot of people would consider Twitter a modern day digital “Town square”. i would say it’s eerily similar, the main difference is that there’s no physical violence just the silence.

    Except they also show up at actual rallies and town squares and intimidate and threaten political opponents. This is why I endorse USING THE 2A AGAINST THEM.

      That worked out stellar for Weimar Germany, didn’t it?

      Unless you know nothing of the time before Hitlers rise to power and just how bloods it was.

      Y’all love to larp when it comes to guns, but never hear about the community work you’ve done.

      • IHaveTwoCows@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        How’s that community work going? Are you making them see the error of their ways? Did they stop hating and threatening minority groups and Democrat candidates yet?

    I don’t know if you know this, but there’s a big difference between how people act with anonymity and how they act in real life.

    There are definitely real Nazis. They are definitely bad guys. Removing a blue checkmark is not anywhere close to the same as people being deported to concentration camps in the literal Holocaust.

    Do you understand how ridiculous this sounds?

      The thing with comparing things to the Nazis, or to similar groups, is that they did not start with the camps and warfare. It took time for them to reach the point of being powerful enough to do that and actually going through with it, so it is still possible to make comparisons to them when things aren’t at that extreme, if one is comparing something to how they (or other fascists for that matter) acted before getting to that point.

      Elon and the Twitter company are not anonymous? They’re using their position to actively bury opinions they dislike. by removing a blue check it means less people will see union organizing efforts and messaging.

      The Nazi started deporting after they came into power and again they came into power and held their power by silencing their opposition. Stop being a Corpo fasist apologist.

  Isn’t the comment you are responding to a joke? That’s how I read it. It’s a funny one too.
