Yes sure I may have overreacted a bit and I get how it connects to the topic on some level, but I’m starting to feel that some people just have to use every opportunity to say how XY is actually something a nazi would do (even if 99% of people do said thing) and then get a bajillion upvotes because people live in an echo chamber.
thinks random offtopic mentions of all twitter users being bootlickers are destructive - yes
All I can read is “thinks it’s pointless to remind people that Twitter is a Nazi bar”
You can think it’s destructive all you want, but Twitter IS destructive, and the bootlickers who still frequent it are contributing to the destruction of our culture by fucking Nazis.
thinks it’s also useless virtue signaling and just a giant circlejerk - yes
Yet you’re virtue signalling in the opposite direction, effectively tacitly defending Twitter and it’s Nazi owner.
Pardon me if I shit on anyone with your opinion, because the last thing we need is a pro-twitter circle jerk. There are already enough Nazis in the Internet, we don’t need to accidentally pill more people because we want to cry about shit in the Internet.
This is actually a pretty good arguement. As for me virtue signaling I didn’t notice that, but even if that is true on some level, I don’t really think it’s hypocritical to remind people not to tell other people what to do, despite that being telling someone what to do.
Also some more refined thoughts about what I meant: I get that twitter is a cesspool, but everyone at least here knows that. I just thought that was a really weird topic to bring up on this post out of the blue. Yes everyone knows it’s run by the Nazi Man. It’s not very constructive to fixate on that in a community where everyone is already of that opinion, because it turns the conversation into a circlejerk. Yes obviously people will upvote someone calling twitter a collection of Nazi bootlickers on Lemmy and I’m tired of that. Because it is virtue signaling is what it is and everyone who upvotes it is also taking part in that and feeling good about it for some weird reason. It’s not something people should do, because that’s not the constructive part of criticizing Twitter or Elon, it’s just the echo chamber part of it where nothing of importance happens, instead people who are part of it will spend their time with reinforcing eachother’s already pretty well reinforced ideas.
Throwing around the term nazi misdirectedly devalues the term/accusation/identifier Nazi and therefore helps actual nazis in need of being called out. Words have power and meaning.
This is gonna surprise you, but Nazis were a really large group full of lots of different people with different values and ideals. What unified them was their support and defense of the Nazi party.
You have spent every comment in this thread defending Nazis.
hey look at me i never fail to mention obvious facts when i’m ideologically motivated to do so
no seriously this is some serious virtue signaling
It’s fine if you like licking boots, I don’t kink shame unless they are Nazi boots.
It’s a joke made on a shitpost. Go take your Nazi apologizing elsewhere.

Okay, wow. Did you know that the Nazis also had pet peeves? You probably even love your dog and dislike indoor smoking, just like hitler.
/j I’m sorry if this actually distresses you.
I actually laughed at this lol
On first reading i never suspected anything other than kink
