@dangoodin @ksaj @saraislet Wow, Dan. You’re out here actively dissing anyone who stays on X because you are upset at the legitimization of the rising white nationalism… while working for a company that participates in that legitimization??

You are aware, I am sure, as a reporter that doesn’t just shoot from the hip but seeks facts, just how many are staying due to their reliance on community aid, right? That that’s how they make a living?

Kind of like you?

You won’t make the leap and try to make a living elsewhere, but you are willing to look down upon others doing the same?

And you are doing this publicly?

And many others do so to keep contact with community, because the alternative is to be isolated from those they care for and who care for them. Because in many cases and in many ways, human connection is just as important to a worthwhile life as food and shelter. This is particularly true of marginalised communities that can’t find that connection locally.

Look, we all know those associates in real life who really don’t care about the rising bigotry, who don’t see it as a problem, maybe even cryptoenjoy, and it’s super easy to bring their image to mind when making proclamations like this. But you, explicitly, are attacking all races and marginalised communities, directly defending that attack in this thread.

That tells me a lot about your capabilities and biases as a reporter, Dan. I suspect it tells a lot of people the same. Maybe take a moment to consider the forces that keep you employed with one of these legitimizers and think how those same forces may be behind other people’s presence on X, Facebook, etc. before so easily finding condemnation of an entire group of people. That ability to attack groups for the actions of individuals is the bigotry you seem to want to fight.
