It’s probably helpful to note that it’s quite common in right-wing rhetoric, particularly as pertains to Likud politics, to conflate criticism of Netanyahu’s politics with antisemitism. It’s an effective way to call his critics anti-semites for an audience that doesn’t understand the difference between Judaism and Likud party politics- sort of like how MAGA republicans call themselves patriots and then claim that their critics are therefore unpatriotic.

Musk has famously re-platformed far-right, nazi-coddling accounts and laid off basically everyone responsible for moderating content. Yes, it’s a complete mystery as to why Twitter has a nazi problem

    [Okay, we’ve got the solution: “Everyone needs to pay us to use Xitter.” Now we just need to figure what we can sell as the problem that justifies that solution.]

    Musk continued promoting his strategy of charging X users a monthly subscription as “the only way” he can think of “to combat vast armies of bots.” He also took this opportunity to announce that X would soon be rolling out a lower-priced subscription tier for X users. According to Musk, the more users pay for subscriptions, the higher the cost of bots would be, and the better chance X will have of preventing bot-driven hate speech, misinformation, and other harm.

      Yes, because everyone knows bot networks have $0 funding and real people love paying for Twitter

      Add another thing to the pile Apartheid Clyde doesn’t understand: that the more users are on your system, the more valuable it is to influence, thus more malicious actors are willing to do so.

      Fucking idiot.

    Yeah, weird how there wasn’t as much rampant antisemitism on Twitter from these “bots” back before Elon bought it and replatformed Nazis and gutted moderation.

    MAGA militia groups like the Prison Boys and Oath Breakers are Tory militia groups trying to destroy the Constitutional government created by George Washington and the founding fathers and reintroduce a dictatorship/monarchy.

      They also get to claim the American self governance, multi-cultural experiment as a failure and use that as an excuse to racially and religiously segregate the population, if not just wholesale genocide all at the behest of this societies richest because they believe they should be in charge.

      Idk about the Tories being involved. I highly doubt this is an English long game from 250yrs ago.

      But fascism isn’t free. The funding doesn’t just come from overseas adversaries, tho no doubt some does. Those that can, will show their biases (as we see with Elon Fuckface), hedge their bets, and fund both sides. Enabling confrontation.

      Calling it like it is, it’s funding terrorism and blood is, once again, on the hands of the billionaire class.

      If you work for them, are police or persuaded military, you know that when blast gates come down 1. Its random chance you’ll be on the inside, they aren’t putting themselves in danger for you or yours. And 2. Even if you are in, do you think your gonna be accepted as an equal? You’re the help, servent. Even in the case of nuclear war and generations need to live underground. You’re not one of them and will never be. Look how long they’ve been maneuvering for the chance?

      If it all falls apart, don’t succumb to rioting or protesting. Target the wealthy and clean the gene pool.

        Tory is simply a synonym of the word “conservative”. A conservative is a tory and a tory is a conservative.

          That thought occured to me but I hadn’t had the chance to dive further on it.

          Thank you for clarifying that for me.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    The livestreamed event started with a one-on-one between Musk and Netanyahu that attracted more than 735,000 views.

    While much of the one-on-one focused on AI—which Musk claimed was “potentially the biggest civilizational threat” and Netanyahu called “a blessing and a curse”—the men also discussed their views on antisemitism and how Musk deals with hate speech on X.

    And all I could say is, I hope you find within the confines of the First Amendment the ability to stop not only antisemitism, or roll it back as best you can, but any collective hatred of people."

    Netanyahu noted that X’s policy didn’t stop Musk from condemning antisemitism every chance he got.

    The entire conversation remained strictly agreeable, with Netanyahu’s only pushback coming about 25 minutes in.

    The prime minister asked Musk if it was “technically possible” to limit “armies of bots” from amplifying hate speech on X.


    The original article contains 423 words, the summary contains 146 words. Saved 65%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!

      735k views? Fucking weak.

      There’s a woman who unboxes toys, toys that appear on the god damn box and she just unpacks them and shows off her nails, that get more views than this.

    This isn’t even a new phenomenon, accusations of antisemitism were also often thrown at anti-Zionists when there were plenty of good political reasons not to establish and prop up the state of Israel. (What’s also funny about that is there were/are actually antisemites who were/are in favor of getting rid of Jews from their country by exporting them to Israel.)
