      My favorite part is how scared Hans Kristian Graebener (who wrote Stonetoss, the neo-nazi cartoon) was of having his identity exposed, and it was a nationalist right-wing social media leak that did it because they know nothing about infosec.

      So in addition to being cowards, they’re also idiots.

      It’s not just cowardice. It’s also strategy. There are many Americans out there who hate Nazis but support fascist beliefs as long as they aren’t coming from Nazis. There are many social media moderators out there who will immediately ban self-admitted Nazis but approve of fascist posts and beliefs - this is especially common on modern Reddit where the most important thing is not to scare off advertisers. So Neo-Nazis online learned a long, long time ago to hide their power level, so they can keep posting fascist shit without being banned and gradually radicalize people into agreeing with them.

      It’s also cowardice, of course. I’ve found cowards are often authoritarians. They feel more secure with a “big man” backing them. It’s why bullies at school attack their targets in gangs and then run to the teacher to cry if the target fights back. And it’s also why teachers typically take the bully’s side and punish the target for fighting back. Cowardly authoritarians gravitate to careers that give them power over children, and they protect their own.

      (Now that I write that, there seems to be a clear parallel with Stonetoss spewing vile shit at minorities for like a decade and running to Elon the minute he faces any personal consequences for his hate. Fascists gonna fash, I guess.)

    Last week, the previously unknown individual behind a popular neo-Nazi web comic known as Stonetoss was identified on Twitter/X by antifascist researchers from the Anonymous Comrades Collective. This was followed by a concentrated campaign by Twitter/X staff to suppress any post on the website that revealed the alleged name of Stonetoss— with journalists, researchers, and the antifascist collective themselves all being targeted with suspensions and account locks. The campaign was personally requested by Stonetoss to Twitter/X owner Elon Musk, who has been under fire as of late for positively engaging with and defending countless other neo-Nazi accounts as well.

    I can see how this might violate some policy against doxxing individuals, but it’s remarkable how consistently Elon Musk just happens to find himself defending neo-Nazis while silencing the left.

      I think it’s perfectly reasonable to have a policy against doxxing on online spaces. As long as it is enforced consistently.

      I don’t use or follow the details of Twitter nonsense very closely so I have no idea if this is the case.

          Open to that discussion but doxxing can be dangerous for some people more than others. Overall I see more downside than upside on large platforms. If it is allowed, I would expect more innocents/good people to be harmed than neonazis. And as we can see here, there are plenty of other spaces for this type of information to be shared.

          Of course, since Elon Musk decides their policies and we don’t, it’s a bit of a moot point.

          Absolutely any policy that protects people can protect neo nazis. If a platform wants someone gone for being a dickwad, they can just ban them (not that that’s gonna happen to nazis on twitter). Questioning sensible rules because they happen to protect bad people sometimes is some dystopian shit. It’s the same line of argument as wanting to ban e2e encryption to scan messages for csam.

          Doxxing is a crime in some places, only selectively enforcing that would be quite the problem.

    I hate it when any of this asshole’s drawings get meme’d, even when the captions are changed, I don’t even look, just downvote so it doesn’t appear again whenever I refresh the homescreen, and move on. The less attention given to this fonne stoss tonssing-type mental illness, the better for societal health as a whole.

    There’s all kinds of mentally sick people out there on the 'net, and most of them seem to gravitate toward sites like Stonetoss where their perversions and excremental world view can proliferate. After all, slimeballs always seek out slime pits where they can thrive with others lke themselves.

    That they are also idiots should come as no surprise; people with education and self-esteem and wisdom never engage in such putrid behaviors. You can always count on the fact that neo-nazis and other scumbags are of very low intelligence, like slime molds. They have no real value of any sort.
