    before the Nazi party came to power, they would show up to rallys, protests and town squares to silence political oponnents through intimidation and physical violence.
    A lot of people would consider Twitter a modern day digital “Town square”. i would say it’s eerily similar, the main difference is that there’s no physical violence just the silence.

      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.

        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.
