    I don’t know if you know this, but there’s a big difference between how people act with anonymity and how they act in real life.

    There are definitely real Nazis. They are definitely bad guys. Removing a blue checkmark is not anywhere close to the same as people being deported to concentration camps in the literal Holocaust.

    Do you understand how ridiculous this sounds?

    Nothing is going to happen to any striking workers. No one is “coming” for the actual trade unionists.

      The thing with comparing things to the Nazis, or to similar groups, is that they did not start with the camps and warfare. It took time for them to reach the point of being powerful enough to do that and actually going through with it, so it is still possible to make comparisons to them when things aren’t at that extreme, if one is comparing something to how they (or other fascists for that matter) acted before getting to that point.

      Elon and the Twitter company are not anonymous? They’re using their position to actively bury opinions they dislike. by removing a blue check it means less people will see union organizing efforts and messaging.

      The Nazi started deporting after they came into power and again they came into power and held their power by silencing their opposition. Stop being a Corpo fasist apologist.
