New twitter logo just dropped. Let's call a spade a spade.
New twitter logo just dropped. Let's call a spade a spade.
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.)
It took me far to long to realize this was mocking, and not actually legitimately the new logo.
Which says a lot about Musk, i think.
Elon sucks and I'm glad he is destroying twitter, but being obsessed with "X" because he is a moron who thinks X is cool doesn't mean that the new twitter logo is a nazi logo. Additionally if you put literally any monochromatic logo on a red field within a white circle it will kind of look like a Nazi flag. Stop being intellectually lazy.

God, people like you are so annoying. Maybe Elon just is just a dumbass who likes the letter 'X'. Not everything has to be a conspiracy. Go touch grass.
This comment is a perfect microcosm of smug rudeness. You want to know why people are running to the extremes? It's because you treat people like shit and then expect them to agree with your ideology when you've berated them and belittled them for disagreeing. It's not a conversation, it's not a discussion, it's just insulting.
There is another flavour of right wing out there. Also Xorg is a little old, but it's not that bad.

Yes, it is. Some people think it is Xorg vs Wayland, well, that would make Xorg devs double agents.
Reminds me of that godawfull movie foodfight. The bad guys had a similar flag and where called the X brand. Paralels are uncanny.
This is dumb as fuck. There's so many things to make fun of Musk for and you need to resort to Godwinning? That's not only unfunny but it reduces that validity of your complaints against the guy who deserves to be flamed because your hyperbolic shouting and claiming everybody you disagree with is a nazi discredits your position immediately.
Yeah, Musk sucks. Yeah the X is dumb. Did it need to be photoshopped into a Nazi flag to be described as dumb? Nope, the entire rest of the site has been hating on this guy without needlessly Godwinning.
It is known by now that Musk sympathizes with many alt-right figures and actively uses his position to censor people on Twitter.
I would not agree that Twitter has become some nazi site, but it can be clearly seen that nazi ideas are more welcome now than before the whole Musk takeover.
Twitter was always a cesspool, and regardless of if the majority of opinions are left or right leaning, it's a toxic environment no matter who is at the head of the hydra.
Prior to the Musk takeover it was a leftist echo chamber, and there was all kinds of witch hunting and cancellations based on groupthink.
I don't think either extremes should be given a platform, and all I see on Twitter is that Musk leveled the playing field so that both sides get to shout as much vitriol as they want.
Whaddahell does this have to do with cats? Also this is just dumb for another reason but you're free to express it :P

This is the biggest schizopost I’ve seen on here yet, holy shit LMAO.
I think you need to take a step away from whatever bullshit you're engaging with online.
I had a friend who would became obsessed with knowing everything about the alt-right. He started seeing false dogwhistles. If someone sent him a message with 👌he would assume they're a Nazi.
I think Elon is a prick who caters to the right of politics, but I don't think he's a Nazi or a fascist. Every time the left becomes too hyperbolic about who is a Nazi, the right uses that about ammunition.

People can be around others without instantly becoming whatever the others are. You probably don’t know about being your own person though, clearly.
This is the hyperbole I'm talking about. This is a metaphor. All metaphors break down when you start looking for discrepancies.
Maybe I don't see a problem with sitting down at a table with 9 Nazis because they're friendly with me and I'm curious about why they believe they're right (and maybe I can use the Socratic method to make them question their beliefs). That doesn't make me a Nazi.
Every time the left becomes too hyperbolic about who is a Nazi, the right uses that as ammunition.
That doesn’t even matter, they will literally use anything as ammunition. There isn’t a “more” or “less” convincing set of arguments they use to make their point, they just say a lot of things all the time and go with what seems to stick.
I'm kinda in agreement with you. The right has a seemingly limitless supply of ammo, but I don't see that as a case for not caring it someone gives them more.
All it takes are bad slogans to entrench their beliefs. "All cops are bastards", "math is racist", "defund the police", and "all white people are racist" make them think the left is insane.
More than anything, this is a war of optics, the left are more educated, more tolerant, more generous, and if we are going to deconvert anyone from the right, we need to show them we aren't morons.
Reflexively jumping to Godwin's law is the fastest way to lose.
What's a n**i flag? Do you have some disability that keeps you from typing words you don't like?
