I just don’t like how normalized blatant racism is becoming on Twitter. It’s not just that these accounts exists but it seems like they’re actively being promoted.

Fuentes is as entitled to a platform as anyone else.  If you don't like what he says, don't follow him. The people tearing civilization apart on our campuses are all on social media platforms.

If anything is tearing our civilization apart, it's the platforms themselves. All of these social platforms amplify the extreme and the grotesque, whether it's Nick Fuentes on Twitter, Doreen on Reddit, or Mr. Beast on YouTube.

When we use them, we're effectively giving "write permissions" on our brains to tech magnates who have repeatedly proven they cannot be trusted. We're in the midst of a global lobotomy, and we're letting their algorithms pick who gets to operate on us.

Agreed I think the real answer won’t be through regulation but trying to empower individuals to get off social media, and easier for people to find friends in real life. Make there be a greater stigma around spending excessive amounts of time on social media

It’s really funny (and frankly kind of sad) to think about how many prominent right wingers could be closeted gays or bisexuals.
