Why is there steak at the steakhouse??

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago

Gee I wonder why. Truly a mystery for the chronicles. /s

How does this article not include a picture of the ad?

[–] jsomae@lemmy.ml 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

The article's link goes to X (twitter) though, not to imgur.

[–] TheFeatureCreature@lemmy.world 426 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The site is literally bought, paid for, and owned by a nazi.

Next question.

It might seem trivial, but this stupid headline points to one reason Republicans have been winning. Everyone (notably journalists) still feels the need to "play the game" as they've always known it.

Oh, Candidate A said something? The game rules say you now have to run a quote in response from Candidate B.

But when Candidate B is an openly corrupt, lying, fascist, rapist shitpile who can't make it to the potty in time and is in the pocket of Russia, maybe take the fucking gloves off at some point and stop pretending you can or SHOULD be impartial. Here, watch:

After Public Nazi Salute Musk-Owned X Now Running Pro-Hitler, Holocaust-Denying Ads

It's not perfect, yet still worlds better.

Because they're scared. Print that, get buried in lawsuits by the richest edge lord in history.

You have to be smarter than this and actually defund his backers. Make it incredibly hard for them to be associated with him. Show him as a losing proposition.

As long as he's winning, people are buying Tesla's, the US is financing public money into space X, and multinationals are active and paying for Twitter then nothing is going to change.

Because X is owned by a pro-hitler probably Holocaust-denying shit heal.

Because pro-Hitler, Holocaust-denying content aligns with the platforms ownership and doesn’t receive an appropriate response from a user base who learned about aliens on History and history on Fox News entertainment.

is this a rhetorical question?

[–] Buffalox@lemmy.world 23 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (8 children)

Yes, the article is meant to expose that the rules of X literally don't prevent pro Nazi content. And history falsification is also allowed.
The second part is illegal in many countries. Even if Nazi propaganda is legal, which it also isn't in some countries.

Well, duh, where else would a pro-Hitler, Holocaust-denying ad be?

Sure it's an ad and not just the owner's tweets?

How is that a serious question? Are they trying to be deliberately obtuse, or are they just fucking stupid?

Stop asking questions when you know the answer.

[–] beatnixxx@fedia.io 21 points 1 week ago

Because X is a nazi bar. For nazi's. Nazi's like this kind of thing.
