It’s probably helpful to note that it’s quite common in right-wing rhetoric, particularly as pertains to Likud politics, to conflate criticism of Netanyahu’s politics with antisemitism. It’s an effective way to call his critics anti-semites for an audience that doesn’t understand the difference between Judaism and Likud party politics- sort of like how MAGA republicans call themselves patriots and then claim that their critics are therefore unpatriotic.

Musk has famously re-platformed far-right, nazi-coddling accounts and laid off basically everyone responsible for moderating content. Yes, it’s a complete mystery as to why Twitter has a nazi problem

    [Okay, we’ve got the solution: “Everyone needs to pay us to use Xitter.” Now we just need to figure what we can sell as the problem that justifies that solution.]

    Musk continued promoting his strategy of charging X users a monthly subscription as “the only way” he can think of “to combat vast armies of bots.” He also took this opportunity to announce that X would soon be rolling out a lower-priced subscription tier for X users. According to Musk, the more users pay for subscriptions, the higher the cost of bots would be, and the better chance X will have of preventing bot-driven hate speech, misinformation, and other harm.

      Yes, because everyone knows bot networks have $0 funding and real people love paying for Twitter

      Add another thing to the pile Apartheid Clyde doesn’t understand: that the more users are on your system, the more valuable it is to influence, thus more malicious actors are willing to do so.

      Fucking idiot.
