Just a reminder that @[email protected] insists there is NO EVIDENCE that Allen, Texas shooter, pictured below, is a white supremacist
@juddlegum Please CW this image.

@JustinDerrick @spacehobo @juddlegum

@tcely @spacehobo @juddlegum The fact there has been no reply from the author tells you everything you need to know about their commitment to Mastodon.
@JustinDerrick @tcely @juddlegum I dunno if I need everyone to have "commitment to Mastodon". I just thought it would be an easy request to satisfy, and an obvious case to justify.
@spacehobo @tcely @juddlegum Given what an outrage-amplifier the birdsite has become, and how the owner keeps un-banning fascists & misogynists, plus the dramatic rise in racist rants after he took over due to him firing everyone responsible for 'community safety', I have a low opinion of anyone who remains there.

@JustinDerrick @tcely @juddlegum I share your feelings, and I'm dismayed as well, but understand that audiences need to move before the larger voices can.

I'm pretty judicious in the stuff I grab from bird.makeup, but it pains me that I have to at all.

But honestly, all it takes is a quick edit and a CW of "Nazi symbols" and save. No step three.

@spacehobo @juddlegum Respectfully, why? These people exist IRL and don’t cover up when out in public. They are a painful reality, and I don’t see what good it does to hide from them. The more decent people see they are among us, the more motivated they should be to vote BLUE!

@ev_rider_j @spacehobo @juddlegum I personally think there is an overabundance of caution with CWs. At some point you can't just protect oneself from every possible thing one might find unpleasant.

That doesn't mean that there shouldn't be any, just that there seems to be a tendency to overcorrect on things that folks should generally understand exist.

@zeruch
Thanks for the scolding lecture, Joe.
@ev_rider_j @juddlegum
@juddlegum While the image is important and your point is valid, please CW this image. This image can be traumatically shocking to some who weren’t prepared to see Nazi imagery scrolling past in their timeline.

@uther @juddlegum

A Nazi mass murdering people is also traumatically shocking.

@juddlegum How do we know this is a pic of the shooter, though? No head shot. (sorry if that came across as a bad pun...)
Don't get me wrong... Dude probably is WS as hell, but that photo you posted doesn't prove it.
@juddlegum: He could have carried a NSDAP's membership card, and Melon would still be all like "I don't know ... He could have kept it as a souvenir ... Look how many Nazi souvenirs my bestie Crow has, and nobody accuses him of being a white supremacist!"
@juddlegum Bro hopes to become as well loved as Alex Jones.
@juddlegum Yep, no evidence at all. Not a bit. <eye roll>
@juddlegum I’m surprised at the requests for CW warnings on this post. People really are fragile these days.
@juddlegum Obviously just a birthmark.
@juddlegum He's just a Kiss fan who had only half the money
The tattoo artist then gave him a swastika as revenge, he wasn't even awake
@juddlegum and Nazis are a superset of white supremacists. All white supremacists
@FemzForever @juddlegum Nazis are a SUBset of white supremacists. There are crackers who are just as racist but don't quite support violent genocide, or are just too lazy for the jaunty "sieg heil"

@juddlegum #ElonMusk is a Category 5 hurricane of honky Boer-boor poephol nonsense.

He can go headbutt a cactus for a few hours. It's the only way he could be any more of a prick.

@juddlegum The Texas tattoo alone had me convinced.

@juddlegum I have a slightly different take from that interview.

I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to later find out that Elon Musk himself is a white supremacist that expresses himself a lot more privately than he does publicly.

So he is denying that the Allen, Tx shooter is a white supremacist because that would put him in the same category as the shooter.

Much like some white people who deny they are racists simply because they aren't wearing white hoods and burning crosses #elonmusk

@hasani @juddlegum hes 100% a white supremacist. The evidence is a mile long at this point

The reason he’s defending the Allentown nazi is because that mass shooter said they were inspired by libsoftiktok (a primarily anti-transgender account that also dabbles in white supremacy) and Elon regularly boosts their content (as well as another user catturd). Musk boosted intentionally misleading statistics on black crime recently. Lots more things he’s done

@hasani @juddlegum he was born and raised an Afrikaner, what do you expect?🤷‍♀️
@juddlegum
I'd like to echo the CW request. That image is the teensiest bit obscene and I cannot in good conscience boost it.
@juddlegum obviously a diabolical #liberal ploy by George #Soros, Bill #Gates and whoever is fucking #Grimes these days.
@juddlegum
He already had the Texas tattoo. The other two are redundant.
@juddlegum i only can assume its because of Musks a priori assumption: that the white race is in fact superior. Thereby, "White Supremacy" is simply a matter of fact and not to be considered a collective hateful ethos. Theres no such thing, according to him.
@juddlegum And his point is? That white supremacists are actually fine upstanding individuals?
@juddlegum Musk seems to believe, as does Trump, that a lie repeated often enough becomes the truth, if HE says it. People need to push back against this.

@juddlegum

We talking about Mauricio Garcia here right. The mexican minority and shooter?

He clearly is pro nazi yea... not sure i heard a mexican refered to as white supremacist before though, seems nazi is a more accurate term since he isnt white?

@juddlegum
Isn't the Nazi swastika supposed to be rotated 45 degrees?
Also CW that shit, I didn't really want to see a skinhead covered in Nazi tats on my feed today
@juddlegum that or he was a real hardcore fan of wolfenstein franchise and he didn't think it through before having the ink done, kidding of course musk promotes nazism, that's why he bought Twitter
@juddlegum
Nope Nuth'n to see here.
@juddlegum Elon lacks any shred of common sense.
@ChiefofECT @juddlegum he's the negation of any sense at all.
@juddlegum Easy mistake to make when one's the product of Apartheid South Africa.
@bcaligari @juddlegum @edgeoforever now if he was once pictured walking near the “Antifa” side of a protest that would be proof enough for that schmuck.
@juddlegum Oh, that. That's not evidence. Evidence is something lawyers make up to get their clients free.
@juddlegum imagine have the laco of a life so badly you get nazi tatoos
@juddlegum
is that not indicative of evidence that Elon Musk is a white supremacist?
just a question, because apparently it is not a crime to be one.
maybe it should be.
@juddlegum ah it seems content warnings are out of style and blocking is the new norm
@juddlegum Elmu is either a liar or a moron. Possibly both.
@juddlegum Wishful thinking won’t make it come true. The facts are on the shooter’s body!
@juddlegum he’s a gaslighter. That’s his actual goal.
@juddlegum Elon Musk lost the plot a long time ago. He’s too obsessed with Mars, and rapidly losing touch with things on earth…
@juddlegum Musk is rich. He isn't good for America. He wasn't good for Twitter. He seems to be good for Space X or Telsa. His opinion should mean nothing to us.
@juddlegum did anyone tell him that Texas is part of Mexico?
