    From the article:

    “Elon Musk’s had more positions on free speech than the Kama Sutra,” Shorten said in an interview with Australian radio.

    Hahahah

    Xitter is a haven for Nazis because Musk deliberately made it that way. That makes Musk a Nazi in my book.

      So, let me explain how nazies work. The nazies don’t want to be seen as nazies, so they claim their opponents are nazies. Putin does this, Israel, Trump, Musk, right wing politicians all over Europe, etc. They are all fascists or national socialists yet they claim they are fighting nazies or are a victim of nazies.

      It’s like a plumber who keeps screaming an electrician is a plumber, and to prove his point he’s going to break into the electrician’s house to fix his plumbing while murdering his family.

          Touche!

          If it talks and acts like a nazi, I call them a nazi. I do not call anyone opposing me a nazi no matter their political opinion. For example, Trump and Musk call leftists nazis. That makes no sense. Israel calls anyone opposing their right wing extremism, apartheid, annexing and genocide a nazi. It’s like Hitler calling the allies nazis.

          I’m not calling anyone a nazi, I label people who are actual nazis based on their opinion and acts.

            For instance, if they classified people into “desirable” and “undesirable” and proposed that the undesirables should have fewer rights or be outright eliminated?

              For instance. But are you going in the direction of “how about you then”? Because I do not approve of nazis, but imo everyone should have the right of their opinion an no one should be silenced or eliminated. I prefer them not to have any power, but that is my preference yet I still believe they should have as much right to be elected as I am. I just hoped people would be less dumb and recognize fake news and propaganda when voting. But yeah, people have a right to be dumb and fuck up the world and no one should be stripped of those rights.

                You are contradicting yourself. Tolerating nazis literally means allowing a group that sports the core dictum that they are justified in silencing and eliminating whomever they deem fair game. The topic has been discussed and the result is settled since 1945. We had a whole war about it. The group of people who think they should get to kill everybody they say is inferior to them does not get to participate.

                  I never aid I tolerate them. I’m fighting hard against fake news, propaganda and their protests. Just because I fight them, doesn’t mean I believe they have less rights to their opinion or less rights to live. I just don’t agree with them and I want to fight them. I don’t want to be the same as them by putting them beneath me, taking away their rights. They have a right to their opinion, they have a right to protest and they have a right to get a beating whenever they protest against LGBTQ+, other ethnicities, or what so ever or when spreading Russian and other right wing propaganda. We can’t just silence, imprison and kill people we don’t agree with, that’s what nazis do.

                  We can show them they are wrong, we can fight them, we can show others what’s behind their mask, we can convict them of their crimes when they make them.

                  Freedom of speech doesn’t have an amendment saying “only if you agree with me”.
