Elon Brings One of America's Most Prominent Nazis Back to Twitter

Source: Rolling Stone

Neo-Nazi Andrew Anglin has been reinstated to Twitter under Elon Musk’s new policies for the platform. The founder of the white supremacist website The Daily Stormer had been banned from Twitter since 2013. 

Anglin has publicly indicated that the goal of his operation and adherence to white nationalist ideology is to “ethnically cleanse White nations of non-Whites and establish an authoritarian government. Many people also believe that the Jews should be exterminated.” Anglin is a staunch supporter of Nazi ideology and regularly espouses Holocaust denail. In 2018, Anglin wrote that he “[hates] women. I think they deserve to be beaten, raped and locked in cages.”

Almost immediately upon having his account reinstated, Anglin tweeted a response to rapper Ye praising Hitler and denying the Holocaust on Alex Jones’ show. “Saying you love Hitler is not even a big deal,” Anglin wrote, “no one cares about that. The man died 80 years ago.” Anglin also endorsed Ye in his presidential run.

Wasn’t there a case of him harassing a Jewish woman?

I don’t remember the detail but he sort of disappeared.

You're not the fucking government, you jackass. It's not only OK to moderate posts, it's the ethically responsible thing to do.

God, I can's stand these rich, Randian tech bros.

if you see an ad on twitter send a message to the company saying you wont buy anything from them until they publicly renounce advertising there.
if enough people start doing that musk will have no choice but to abandon his hate speech ideas.

it would also be a good idea to encourage europe to ban twitter. they have zero tolerance ofr this kind of bullshit

If ads are removed, twitter will be...Totally Worthless..to Musk.......&

Musk is much too stupid to know it. AND, HE HAS ALREADY SET THE PATTERN. & I DON'T THINK HE WILL APOLOGISE.
...(people like him NEVER apologize. Musk doesn't have a clue.)


Musk is someone, like Trump his hero, who thinks he can get away with anything.

But, he doesn't know it yet, but a business is not a game. It is more like a bad movie. If people hate a movie.
it makes no money at all. It loses money. It LOSES Lots of money. Stupid Elon Musk He is much too stupid
to know it...................................

fOR EXAMPLE:..Lots of young people have never heard of ..a company called ."..SEARS ROEBUCK"...Instead,
those young people go instead to Walmart. Is that correct? (You had better believe it!)



You had better believe that there will be:............ MUCH MORE NEWS ABOUT ELON MUSK
(and in my opinion, it won't be good )

The correct answer is: Nazis can go royally fuck themselves. They should be tossed in the dumpster and that’s it. When you play with Nazis, white supremacists, and other violent lunatics, you play with fire. Period, end of debate.

Encouraging more deplorable behavior and normalizing it. Then they'll say the woke left won't compromise with Neo-Nazis.

fascists, and bigots in general. Now that we know that, I hope anyone who doesn't not fit into any of those categories will abandon Twitter post haste. I'm sure someone can come up with an alternate platform.

Southern Poverty Law Center profile:

Andrew Anglin is the founder of the neo-Nazi Daily Stormer website, which takes its name from the gutter Nazi propaganda sheet known as Der Stürmer. True to that vintage, Anglin is infamous for the crudity of his language and his thinking, a contrast to his sophistication as a prolific internet troll and serial harasser. Anglin’s organizing and harassment on the Daily Stormer led to lawsuits, and courts have awarded millions of dollars in damages to plaintiffs suing Anglin in recent years. But with his whereabouts unknown, Anglin has so far escaped full accountability for his actions.

... but not the violence that will cause them.

Some serious, deadly things are about to be organized on that platform and Musk is going to be fully legally exposed over it.
