Gwen Snyder is uncivilJan 27, 2023

Elon directly ordered the takedown of the account of @chadloder, one of the most prominent and effective antifascist researchers in the US.

(Not mentioned in the article: Elon did so at the request of Andy Ngo, a notorious far right stochastic terrorist.)

@gwensnyder

What a terrible article, describing Chad Loder as left-wing, apparently for being an anti-fascist activist and using they/them pronouns, which is mentioned for no other apparent purpose.

To be clear, I don't see much room between being "an anti-fascist activist" and being pro-facist.

@johnlogic @gwensnyder Perhaps I am misunderstanding you, but are you suggesting that there is not much room between two diametrically opposed ideals? One is opposed to fascism, one is for fascism. There is a pretty huge space in that.
