    Yeah that’ll show him. I’m sure he’s gonna lose a ton of sleep over the miniscule amount of traffic that’s going to drop for his shitty website that he bought and drove into the ground.

    Wait actually he cares way too much about how people view him so it might actually bother him a ton. It’s hard to say really.

    Either way stop using Twitter and reddit. Both terrible.

        Why?!

        Le epic 14 y/o troll mAStEr mOvE was doing the worst nonverbal political thing one can do and getting away with it without apologizing.

        The centrists accept it might have been inadvertent. He’d never have the lefties anyway and the far right will, of course, absolutely love it. It’s the kind of thing a kid in shoes of power might dream up and run by the team and all have fits of laughter: “they can’t prove anything if you don’t say anything!”

        Nice way to commemorate the Jan 6ers’ prison release. And great distraction, as it must be.

          No I mean if you disagree with what nazis did, you will never have a problem saying exactly that. Whether it’s to clear up a misunderstanding or for any other reason. Rejecting nazis has nothing to do with being edgy or being right or wrong in a debate. It’s a simple idea that can be said at anytime.

    Liberals are just sheep. They believe whatever the media tells them.

        Supports far right movement in Germany, says they are the only way to fix Germany.

        Agrees with Jewish people being anti white- "“Jewish communties [sic] have been pushing the exact kind of dialectical hatred against whites that they claim to want people to stop using against them.”

        The billionaire owner and CTO of X, formerly Twitter, responded the same evening: “You have said the actual truth.”"

        Does NAZI salutes on a national platform.

          I don’t think it was a mistake, I think it was more, “lol, let’s see what the media says about that!!” They made a spectacle of him jumping on stage at the campaign trail, so I truly think he did that to troll a bit.

          He’s a real life Bruce Wayne, but without the Batman bit.

      I mean if you only saw and read Reddit during the last election campaign, you’d be ABSOLUTELY sure at the first half of the campaign that Biden was going to win, might as well don’t have an election at that point

      And then, after Kamala got into the campaign, again, if you only saw and read Reddit, you’d be, again, ABSOLUTELY sure that she would win, it wasn’t even a contest.

      If reality were downvotes, upvotes or massive bans to users posting against the thread zeitgeist, yeah sure, that would be what happened.

      Hard to accept reality after that harsh wakeup call

    Most of the X links on Reddit just point to non-X content anyway, and are used by Reddit posters to circumvent subreddit policies on excluding dodgy sources. In other words they were using X as a shitty URL shortener.

      So, your stratagy is nukes or go home? You just want one decisive move to win, otherwise why bother?

      When a baby is born it doesn’t just run out of the womb and poop in a toilet. First it slides out. Many months later it starts crawling. Then slowly walking. Then walking. Then running. Then potty training. THEN it can run to a toilet to poop.

      But by your logic, oh well, can’t run to a toilet on day 1. Best just not to be born.

      So… what?

      In your ideal world nazi sites wouldn’t be blocked?

      What are you even arguing here?

      There is no world in which refusing to use a site run by a nazi is a bad thing.

          Got it, there’s no point in ever fighting them since we might not fight them at some unspecified point in the future, we should just all welcome and embrace Nazis. Thanks for letting us know how to move forward.

                We are currently living in Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World where even the mention of breaking free from the chains is met with resistance. Liberals would rather dose their Soma than allow meaningful change to happen.

        No the logic that got us a second trump term is “we can move as far to the right as we want, and as long as we’re second worst, people will have no choice but to vote for us.”

      Oh yes for the totally unproblematic picture taken at the inauguration, and since it’s so unproblematic he can’t possibly have an issue with it being posted.

      Although a solid second favorite is him in a punk leather jacket. Mostly because he hates it.
