Elon Musk violates Nick Fuentes' Freedom of Speech

[martybegan]

Musk

Musk said he would allow any speech that "matches the law". Did Nick Fuentes break the law?

What did Fuentes actually say?

 

[Marener]

The problem was created by twitter censoring mainstream positions of dispute as if they were nazi positions.

They were treating "men cannot be women" and "All Jews must die" as the same statement.

It’s actually the right that wants to treat those statements the same by forcing social media companies to publish them.

What did Fuentes actually say?

He praised Hitler and the Unabomber. He said just run the media. It's not clear which of these statements Twitter is using as a reason for banning him.

That's praising two criminals, and endorsing their criminal behavior.

Elon Musk just broke his promise:

What a dummy.

These were his "sins." A kid looking for an following by pandering to the baser instincts of humanity


Fuentes posted a gif in which the logo of Ye’s 2024 presidential bid, which he is managing, morphs into a sign that says “DEFCON 3,” a reference to Ye’s vow to go “death con 3 on Jewish people” that prompted his first Twitter ban last year. Fuentes then held a Twitter Spaces live chat that 14,000 people attended at least part of, during which he said he backed Ye’s comments and praised Hitler multiple times. He also reportedly said that regaining his audience on Twitter would allow him to “go to war” with the Jews.

He subsequently posted a tweet with two antisemitic catchphrases alongside emojis. Both of them — “Globalist American Empire” and “Zionist Occupied Government” — are catchphrases among white supremacists who believe that the U.S. government is controlled by Jews.

He then shared a Politico story from Tuesday about how the Republican National Committee will vote this week on whether to condemn Ye, Fuentes and others for promoting antisemitism. A resolution drafted by the committee characterizes Fuentes as “laughingly comparing Jews killed at concentration camps to baking cookies in an oven,” according to Politico’s report.

Fuentes’ tweets do not appear in Twitter searches, but his account is visible to anyone who seeks it out. He has nearly 150,000 followers on the platform. His posts on Tuesday received a mixture of critical and supportive replies.

By support, do you mean do I agree with his views?

You seem to be defending him against Musk's actions.
