Twitter owner Elon Musk just blamed the ADL, a Jewish advocacy organization, for the explosion of antisemitism on his platform.Blaming Jewish people or groups for the hatred of Jewish people is the same perverted logic found in Hitler's "Mein Kampf."Musk is the world's richest person and his companies are paid billions by the US government. He posted the message in conversation with Keith Woods, an Irish neo-Nazi whose account Musk reinstated in April a few months after buying Twitter.

@nickmartin okay, are we seriously expecting this humongous manchild to understand complex problems like racial/cultural hatred?

@rato @nickmartin We don't. But we should. That's part of how republicans/conservatives get away with so much horrible shit. They say something beyond fucked up. Liberals/democrats don't expect them to fully understand how illogical and morally wrong it is. So there's no base outrage.Then the behavior becomes normal. We then expect republicans/conservatives to act that way. They aren't stupid. They know exactly what they're doing and why. And what happens if more people think the same way.

@DryBird227 I know, understand and agree, even. I'm all in for punching the fascist in the teeth and confronting them whenever possible. It's just Musk's so detached from reality nothing will help, I fear. The guy is a manchild with an army of dick riders and yes-men. I think the best thing to do in his case is to treat him accordingly - like a stupid, little child he is. @nickmartin

@rato @nickmartin I feel you. And i mostly agree. He's a lost cause and will remain a lost cause until he's in the dirt. Guys like that just dig the rest of their lives.What i don't disagree with. Is treating him like a stupid child. He knows he's stupid. But has decided to use his stupid to continue to make money.What i'm saying is. Any and everytime people like him do something stupid. We express exactly how and why it's stupid. As much as possible. And keep the outrage going.

@rato @nickmartin Yeah. I hate that term when talking elon musk. When that word first dropped back in the day. It amounted to...like someone taking all the shampoo out of someone's bottle and replacing it with whip cream.Now? A troll is...someone thinking of kicking the adl off of twitter specifically so even more white supremacists can feel comfortable on twitter? He's not living off attention. He's living off the attention of the worst kinds of people to ever exist.

@rato @nickmartin Like living for attention is like walking down the street with your pants sagging. This? This is literally attempting to and succeeding at...destroying communication lines on a program millions maybe even billions use.We're talking elon killing small resistance fighters from organizing strikes against fascist regimes. Spreading misinformation so badly that if covid-19 hit again more millions of america would be dead. Seems a bit more than just trolling to me.

@rato @nickmartin With that said. You'd never say not to teach people about how bad serial killers are. Never be against teaching kids not to go into a van with strangers.Really. Is saying not to light fires or leave a lit fire burning in the woods...giving arsonists attention? We talk about certain kinds of people so other people knew what those people are hittin for. How to dodge them out. How to deal with them. How to not let them do blank or get blank. Because we know the general outcome.

@rato He seems to understand it just fine and has picked the side of hate and bigotry.
