If a Nazi dresses like a Nazi in the forest, and no one is around to see them, are they still a Nazi?

Actually lots of funny responses (on both sides!) in there, from blue checks and no checks alike. "That's why we stood at the table." "Is the same true for communists? Only if they split the bill." etc.

Just as expected:
This was a mistake by many people at Twitter. It is definitely allowed. Whether or not you agree with using someone’s preferred pronouns, not doing so is at most rude and certainly breaks no laws.

It's good because it stops the troll interacting with the tweet — they can't so easily QT or RT and bring their unblocked followers to the pile-on.

I haven't actually scrolled Twitter in a few weeks, and I'm not on TikTok, but I do subscribe to a few newsletters that focus on internet content, like Today in Tabs and Garbage Day, and it's a good way to keep up with discourse/memes.

in awe of this man
Some people are watching these videos sincerely, but you're not necessarily making them sincerely.I guess the way I feel, like, I don't care, really, what Baby Gronk does with his life, or, what Livvy does with her life. I'm not sitting on my edge of my seat to see what school Baby Gronk tours next. And I think a reason people get so angry about it is because I'm so serious in my videos, and I talk in a tone and I don't blink in my videos, either. So people are like Bro, I think he’s A.I.-generated. That all comes back to my lacrosse videos, because when I first made those people were like, You never blink.Do you lean into that stuff now? Like if you if you've made a video where you blink, you would redo it?Yes, yeah, I make sure I do all the things that piss people off.
