The failure of the mainstream media to report on the mind-bogglingly huge Nazi movement being built on Twitter with the full cooperation of the site's leadership is a massive scandal

I'm not saying they are NOT Nazis but a better comparison is the Klu KluX Klan. Maybe we should start calling them kluX it feels like a name Elon would approve of 🙄
Some of us have been screaming into the ether about the Nazi dudebros of the internet calling us “feminazis” 15 years ago, for daring to be on the internet at the same time as them. We fucking told you about them! We begged! We pleaded! We screamed until our throats were raw. No one listened.
The years of referee-working by the right worked. Now the media sanitizes the unsanitary and normalizes what is not normal at every turn. Our only hope of breaking out of this doom loop is to hold to truth, to the constitution, and to oppose this government at every juncture.
Do you have punchy examples? I'd love to share them with my pols. Especially examples that are anti-black (for impact). This doesn't work super well as received wisdom.
Plus they are still finger-wagging that people who don’t want to contribute to that instead want to “live in a bubble” and “not read opposing opinions.”
We are talking what seems to be tens or hundreds of thousands of people, many of whom are very openly supportive of overthrowing the Constitution and instituting death squads and violent reprisals
My coworkers look normal but would also support a Rwanda-style genocide of trump's enemies. They're not alone. You'll find this at all levels of society. Accountants & janitors & cops & lawyers. All ready to go door-to-door when the call goes out.
It's the far-right analogue of the common complaint that liberal politicians were in a Twitter echo chamber. Except now the echo chamber wants dictatorship and bloodshed
It's only a failure if you see it as the media's job to inform people at all costs. From their own point of view, this hasn't been their primary goal for a long, long while now.
I can't verify this as I don't have an account there, but how much more do they have to talk about it every day for you to acknowledge that they DID report it?
Look at this, 13,000 likes on Twitter for Andrew Torba, Gab founder, cheering Elon's Heil Hitler with "Incredible things are happening". Lots of the excited MAGAs in the replies make fond Nazi references or have it in their names.

The collective failure is expecting more of them than they were ever capable of delivering.
MAGA delenda est #magadelendaest
I STG I'm gonna atomic wedgie the next billionaire bootlicker who soft pedals Musk's obvious racism by claiming he's a genius.
Like MFer, the Nazis had geniuses too!
1) Fear of threats
2) Fear of litigation
3) Fear of embarrassment
4) Fear of misrepresentation
