before the Nazi party came to power, they would show up to rallys, protests and town squares to silence political opponents through intimidation and physical violence.
A lot of people would consider Twitter a modern day digital “Town square”. i would say it’s eerily similar, the main difference is that there’s no physical violence just the silence.

That worked out stellar for Weimar Germany, didn’t it?
Unless you know nothing of the time before Hitlers rise to power and just how bloods it was.

you live in an interesting world, either you wait until some far right threat as built it’s self up and radicalized, or do exactly that, but this time try to shoot first.
the whole idea of maybe there was a bunch of stuff leading up to the Nazis threatening to shoot you that you could intercede in, stopping the whole need for shooting in the first place apparently never crossed your mind.

Y’all love to larp when it comes to guns, but never hear about the community work you’ve done.

Do you think community work is where people go preach?
It’s setting up a neighborhood pantry, showing up to community meetings, rendering aide to my unhoused brethren, helping the local maker space setup an electronics lab. None of that involves preaching.
And yes, the community work is going well. Does a lot to alleviate alienation under capitalism.

If you’re planning to defend against fascism without setting up infrastructure to feed your troops then it’s just a larp. Creating a sense of community is probably the best thing we can do to stem the rise of fascism.
I don’t know if you know this, but there’s a big difference between how people act with anonymity and how they act in real life.
There are definitely real Nazis. They are definitely bad guys. Removing a blue checkmark is not anywhere close to the same as people being deported to concentration camps in the literal Holocaust.
Do you understand how ridiculous this sounds?
Nothing is going to happen to any striking workers. No one is “coming” for the actual trade unionists.
The thing with comparing things to the Nazis, or to similar groups, is that they did not start with the camps and warfare. It took time for them to reach the point of being powerful enough to do that and actually going through with it, so it is still possible to make comparisons to them when things aren’t at that extreme, if one is comparing something to how they (or other fascists for that matter) acted before getting to that point.
Elon and the Twitter company are not anonymous? They’re using their position to actively bury opinions they dislike. by removing a blue check it means less people will see union organizing efforts and messaging.
The Nazi started deporting after they came into power and again they came into power and held their power by silencing their opposition. Stop being a Corpo fasist apologist.
