It's the Joos. It's always the Joos. Down through the centuries, it's the Joos.

Mah n'ish tan nah?

So if the ADL is responsible for the 60% drop in X/twitter revenue and should fork over $22 Billion to Muskrat, then why can't the Soviets/Putinists hold Elmo responsible for the $(hundreds of billions) in damages to russia enabled by SpaceX and MuskY?

He also blames "wokeness" for his transgender daughter hating his guts and wanting nothing to do with him.

It's not novel, it's at least 2000 years old.

To be fair, the Nazis also blamed the communists (read: "Jews") and radicals (also Jews) for the loss of World War I, claiming they fomented anti-war sentiment and defeatism among regular Germans who were only, you know, starving to death due to the British blockade. How dare people have a negative view of a great patriotic struggle that was literally starving their children to death?

Melon Husk is a great argument for confiscatory taxation.

That was my first thought. Musk is obviously an idiot who lucked into a huge inheritance and somehow managed to parlay that into something bigger. But he seems pretty incompetent.

Whoever stands to inherit from him will have done nothing at all for it but suck his Xitter.

"Luckily he has a foolproof plan"

So like. solution that would be, you know, final?

Nazis should have stayed in the fucking history books.

I am going to, for the first time, donate to the ADL.

Yes, I am donating to the ADL. I already donate to the SPLC.

Jim Crow should also stay in the fucking history books.

Nazis also got their "ideas" from blood libel, generations of pogroms, and the Christian theology of deicide. They did not need Red Summer or Wilmington to learn how to murder entire towns of people.

You particularly hating on "White-presenting people w/Jewish heritage" as opposed to white people (or all people including white-presenting hispanics and asians) who "dismissed, minimized, and ignored racism" is toxic hater bullshit and really classic Jew-hating.

I gave you an option to walk it back and instead you made it really clear that you genuinely especially hate Jewish people on a post about the deadly tide of antisemitism.

Your own hate and bigotry makes you one of those assholes that pretends discrimination that impacts others is unimportant, ironically but predictably.

> I leave it up to you to figure out what to do about that

Given you are spewing the bigotry here it seems like this is a you problem. You should stop.

Because I suppose if we acknowledged we were in this together then, well you could not tolerate that, and thus we end up with garbage like Trump and Abbott.

You continue to clarify that you genuinely especially hate Jewish people on a post about the deadly tide of antisemitism. Weirdly you seem to think you are a decent person.

I do not, because you have told me who you are. I believe you. You are a toxic hater.

White-presenting Jewish people who dismissed, minimized, and ignored racism are a subset of white people and white-presenting people who dismissed, minimized, and ignored racism.

But you only want to hate the Jooooos.

Because you are a toxic bigot hater.

You can tell me again about your toxic hatred of Jewish people, but it is already extremely clear.

The Nazis countered criticism of its early policies of merely stealing the German Jews' property and kicking those who had sufficient money to grease the wheels out of the country by pointing out the treatment of Native Americans at the hands of the U.S.

In that instance, they actually had a point.

Teddy Roosevelt was a prominent eugenecist, and the movement had quite a following for a while, also.

Also, also, Hitler had a photo of one American on the wall of his residential office -- Henry Ford.

Reminder to anyone Jewish who is still using Xitter: it doesn't matter how little you care about Judaism as a religion or a culture or an ethnicity. It doesn't matter how ardent your atheism is, or your rejection of Israel. Get the hell off o Xitter now. And tht goes for everyone else too. We're long past the point where Xitter had a white supremacist element or everyone knew Musk was an ass. This is a vehicle of hate, every bit as much as Truth Social or Fox. Delete your accounts. Walk away.

Is the "X" pronounced "sh"? Because that absolutely works.

In many languages, yes. In several Mexican native languages, and in standard transliteration of Chinese languages.

I finally deleted my account, which I seldom used anyway, when Twitter was changed to 'X'.

I believe the 'X' in the word "Xitter" should be pronounced as in the Native Mexican Nahuatl language, that is, like the letter "sh" in English.

X is also pronounced "sh" in pinyin standard transliteration of Chinese languages. In demotic Greek it's the sound you make when you're about to spit.

So, yeah.

How hard is this? He doesn't expect to make a profit. Why should he care? He bought Xitter to turn it into a worldwide engine of white supremacy. Which he has done. He'll keep it going forever if it suits him.

This constant belief that Musk and Trump are stupid and incompetent only exposes the gullibility of the left.

I know it feels good to think so, and we do love to point to superficial "evidence" like a highly skilled, manipulated public persona that appears illiterate and silly. But honestly, that's just nonsense. The richest man in the world did not get there by being stupid and incompetent, nor did it happen because he was "helped by other people" (that applies to all of us). He bought Twitter to turn it into an engine of fascism, and his supporters are fine with how he's going about it - very fast and very successfully.

Trump is arguably one of the most influential presidents in the history of the United States. He did it virtually himself. I'm sorry, but that is not stupidity or incompetence, and insisting that it is just makes us look a bit foolish.

One supposes that since ADL was monitoring and tracking The Dumpster Fire Formerly Known as Twitter (TM) that perhaps ADL collected a great deal of actual data illustrating their point, proving once again that it's not libel or slander or even a chocolate milkshake if it's Actually True....and you can Prove It. It'll be lovely to watch Apartheid Mary send a 7 or 8 figure settlement donation to ADL when he gets penalized for a SLAAPy suit like this. OK you got me. It's never a chocolate milkshake.

I note that even Elon knows that Twitter will never be known as "X". He stated "... they almost succeeded in killing X/Twitter".
