Disclaimer: I know the flag looks like shit. I didn’t really try and make a well done, symmetric n**i flag. The entire point is to illustrate the general intent, not to make a symmetric “asshole flag”.

Edit: the sample size isn’t that big yet, but around 20% (19.51% as of this edit) of downvotes is definitely uncannily aligned with the average percentage of far right voters… (I’d show data from the US too, but you guys haven’t yet learned how to count to three in politics… So data is severely lacking.)

    right, but he did let the person who said nazi shit and went to go talk to a nazi (Nick Fuentes) back on the platform, he has overseen a massive increase in hate speech on the platform, he does comment in support of people demonizing queer identities, and he has used his power in a number of ways to silence his dissenters, so we can say that he demonstrably isn’t a free speech absolutist, he likes people who like nazis, and he is comfortable courting the favor of nazis. i think we can say that he fits the definition of a nazi sympathizer without much stretching at all.

      Maybe, the point is not to say that he isn’t, just that I require a high standard of proof to say that he is. I don’t know why everyone is getting their panties in a twist, I already know he’s a bad guy, I just don’t think he checks off the requirements to be a fascist or Nazi.

          So goddamn ironic that I started this all by saying that there are people who focus so much on what the alt-right is up to that they see Nazis everywhere they look. And then people start accusing me of being a Nazi lol.

          All while ignoring the hypocrisy of putting the centre-right on blast for calling everything they don’t like “socialism/communism”…
