Honestly, things are getting out of hand on Twitter/X. I can't stress this enough folks, Elon Musk is fully out of control. In his idiotic quest to silence the left is all very castingly a maneuver for so turning the platform into a hotbed for both supporting Donald Trump (yeah, he so is back on again) and promoting White Supremacy. Be it in this instance in elevating a known self-proclaimed "raging anti-Semite[sic][/Judeophobe]" Kevin Woods, the brain behind the hashtag #BanTheADL.
Just to be clear, the Anti-Defemation League does a lot of great work with trying to fight discrimination in just about any form. Yet this work has also earned the ADL some incredibly powerful detractors along the way. Per in many cases, rather said opposition sometimes comes from White Supremacy/Power extremists.
Like none of this is entirely new, but it's a real problem when figures like Musk elevate others like Woods. Just so without paying heedance to the corrosive effects. To fully see him doing this is a grave illustration of what's likely to come with next year's presidential election.
Trump is very likely to get elected in 2024, mostly due to some broader legal technicalities that would get him off the hook criminally wise, and he'll move to solidify the voices of hate's hold on what defines constitutional free speech.
I don't mean this as by what we say online, I mean it as by what may not be done for reining in any voices who threaten harm to us whenever we'd totally call out their venomous hatred out. Their flaming, utterly like in this instance might readily end up becoming reclassified as constitutionally protected free speech; even when legal precedent says otherwise.
Now, picture yourself as a kid at school, and right now you're so getting tortured both physically and mentally by your playyard bully. Yet upon the day you chose to fully stand up for yourself, you'd get expelled thus for even reporting them in the first place. But yet hang on a minute, don't think that that's the end with your bully triumphing as you take your walk of shame. All clearly with them jeering yet as each of your exteachers go off in harsh repremands. See, all of this would truly be the tip of the iceberg here.
So like you see, that would be the environment we'd be thrown into. One where the voices of hatred can totally post, "N****r! N****r!", with the security of knowing that they'd completely get away with it. Moreover, just about any criticism of this practice, and/or of Trump et al., would thus be reclassified as both sedition and hate speech. Legitimacy in this instance so being irrelevant.
Essentially, this is all basically staging ground for mass intimidation. That of course being the setting for rather ostensibly effecting a full totalitarian dictatorship. Just as for how far this goes is anyone's guess, but it's fully now a question of how to check it before we're driven into a proverbial ditch.
Buckle up everyone, it'll be a bumpy ride.
