Oddbean new post about login | logout Things have really reached a be bottom on closed social media, folks are now arguing how Hitler was not that bad. It's not about revisiting history, this is all about a lack of imagination for the future. It's just bigot wars for the masses to be busy with clicks to feed the advertisers. Genuinely don't know what comes after monetizing Godwin's law.
Cage match > walled gardens
What a miserable sewer that place has become. If I had ever any doubts about leaving they are completely gone now.
They are literally defending literally hitler 😂
It's such a fucked mess.
Nobody could have predicted this would happen, with Elon being a known Nazi sympathizer and all.
I feel sorry for the kids spending their formative years on social media being fed “the truth” about any crazy whackjob conspiracy theory you can think of. And the algos will provide absolute positive proof for all of it and feed on their paranoia by spamming their feeds with more of the same. Reinforcement and division. And down they spiral…
Lawd. Twitter/Facebook I assume? 🤦♂️
To be fair, altright incels always existed within the weirded far right falanges of twitter, so it's nothing new. The sad thing is that they're a remnant of what /b of 4chan used to be in the late 2000, and /pol in the early 2010, just almost 20 years later.
That’s not an accurate synopsis of what is being said en masse, or the sentiment behind it. Censorship, the very thing you rail against through your professional work, is responsible for a skewed narrative around WWII. They argue that an actual accounting of decisions made by both Allied and Axis leaders, would offer the average Westerner a better understanding of why how the outcome of WWII has lead to many of the civilizational gyrations being experienced today in areas of financial control, Western jingoism and cultural decline. Unfortunate take from you. A dismissive, mocking hand wave is certainly your choice, but underwhelming. Otherwise, keep up the good work.
