- Your post must be a screen capture of a microblog-type post that includes the UI of the site it came from, preferably also including the avatar and username of the original poster. Including relevant comments made to the original post is encouraged.
- Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
- You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
- Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
- Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If a post is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.

I think there will (or could) come a time. There has to be a limit. "Elon Musk sucks and Twitter is full of Nazis" doesn't seem to be the limit, though.
I figured Twitter trying to dip into everyone's pockets by paying for checkmarks would have been the limit. But what do I know, apparently.
The solution is to call anyone who uses Twitter a Nazi apologist. And it's the truth. Anyone who uses Twitter thinks there's a valid excuse for supporting Nazis, and a level of Nazism by the company owner that isn't bad enough to leave over. The solution is shame.
At first I thought, "Good idea." But I worry that it might start to dilute the stigma of the term 'Nazi.' People might start thinking, "They call everyone a nazi sympathizer. It's not a big deal."
If bad words only have a limited number of uses before they're worthless, then we should be using them up against Nazis as quick as possible. Not saving our words while the Nazis grow exponentially more normalised. If we keep the Nazis down, they'll remain a small threat and our words will have time to recharge. But if we let the Nazis gather strength, then they'll overwhelm us faster than our words can recharge.
Twitter being owned by a Nazi isn’t even enough. There is nothing that will ever pry their pathetic fingers from Twitter. Fuckin’ Fanta sipping willfully ignorant pieces of shit.

Never seen it, but given what I know about the show, hell yeah.
