The reported posts included content that denied the Holocaust and promoted white supremacy. In response, Musk called the researchers a "bronze tier psy ops."
Calling for the genocide of whites, men, straight people, certain political ideologies, praising the appropriation of Western European culture to “subvert” it and rewrite it, banning books, etc…
Edit: oh shit, thought Reddit was the delusional echo chamber, maybe it’s Lemmy, too.
Almost every extreme view will likely have someone pushing those ideals through xitter at some point. Whether or not those posts gain any sort of traction or represent a greater movement could still be up for debate.
Quick note: this isn't meant to support or oppose any side or position. Just putting information out there addressing the question that was posed.
I can't read past the paywall, but it looks like that hashtag was meant to be sarcastic. Denying the Holocaust, praising Hitler, saying racist things… those are not done with sarcasm.
Would you accept other hate speech provided it's qualified as "sarcastic"? How should xitter determine sarcastic messages vs serious ones?
And saying the entirety of that hashtag was used sarcastically is incredibly presumptuous. How would someone prove to you that it was used at least once seriously?
I would say that entirely depends on how it's worded. This was a parody of another hashtag that was being used sarcastically. I would not call that hate speech in any way. I'm sorry, but "killallmen" is clearly not meant the way the hate speech being allowed on Twitter is meant now. There's a world of difference. It's not even comparable.
So your original question was "What is left wing hate speech?"
Regardless of whether it's comparable or as prevalent as right wing hate speech should be moot. You were provided examples and I showed an instance of it actually occurring.
Again. Not defending or opposing one side or the other nor commenting or implying some frequency or severity of posts.
Nowhere. I was nowhere near it, and it made false allegations that I sexually assaulted it. Now my life is ruined over lies and cancel culture. —that guy, probably
How about you knock off the ad hominems and admit that there are extremists on the left, although they do not represent the majority of their political group like right wing extremists now do. You're moving the goalposts so hard right now, and I say this as someone pretty far left myself. We don't need to deny reality to prove that we're right.
What is "left wing hate speech?"
"Fascists should k*ll themselves" got me banned from xitter so that's the kinda 'hate speech' they care about
Ah, the old paradox of tolerance.
It's not hate speech to say anything bad about fascists.
in DnD it would probably be neutral good at the spiciest, possibly even lawful good.
Those billionaires have too much money and people should be able to afford a one bedroom apartment on a full time minimum wage job!

Who is calling for such things?
And as for banning books, are you sure it's the left that's doing that? Because I can share some links with you…

Wow, a whole list of "things that never happened."
Please, get help to escape the conspiracy feedback loop you're obviously in.
Dude, your mind has been totally fucked, come back to reality please.
I admire your optimism.
Would you like to show us on doll where your imaginary evil strawman touched you?
Nowhere. I was nowhere near it, and it made false allegations that I sexually assaulted it. Now my life is ruined over lies and cancel culture. —that guy, probably
Yea nooo. No one ever said that.
On another note, you must really love being a living puppet.
The hell they didn't! I'm not the person who made the claim nor am I a Conservative but you don't get to make up your own reality.
Calling for the genocide of whites.
It's STILL THERE NOW - https://twitter.com/hashtag/antiwhite?src=hashtag_click
men
certain political ideologies
I mean this is as blatant as it can possibly be.
praising the appropriation of Western European culture to “subvert” it and rewrite it
banning books
See that book on the table in front of Gov Newsom? It's banned in California.
It isn't just the old literary classics either.

So what reality are you living in that this stuff doesn't exist? It's been blatantly all over Twitter and Tumblr for at least a decade.
It doesn't mean that Elon is great (he isn't) or that Republicans are good (they aren't) but denying reality isn't good either.
You're tripping over edgelords on twitter?! Lmfao. I think that might be stupider than your favorite news outlet.
Are you angry about the right banning books or are you only angry at unverified trolls on twitter and other non issues?
Unhinged af. Dance puppet, dance.

I'm with you on this, we can have a couple of crazies on the left and still be correct. No need to deny that they exist.
