I got curious about just how bad said Nazi content is, and managed to find an article with some screenshots: https://nypost.com/2023/08/17/x-suspends-pro-hitler-account-after-brands-paused-ads/

Spoiler: very Nazi.

So it's not just Nazi-compatible ideas. It's straight out Nazi symbolism.

I really don't get these people - even if you believe the Nazis were right, you know they are the most hated historical faction in the world. Wouldn't it be better to advocate their ideas without explicitly associating yourself with them, just to avoid the (completely justified) knee-jerk reaction?

    You're suggesting that Nazi's use their famous critical thinking skills to understand that 99% of the world hates them and their ideology?

    Being evil is one thing, but there is no excuse for being stupid.

    Has there ever been any intelligent right-wing movements? Pretty much every white supremacist has the IQ of a fairly cool room. They claim to be the superior race, while providing absolutely no evidence of this.

    Your link just shows the blinking X and "someone 'paused' (e.g stopped) doing business" with "x".

    Or am I missing something?

    That's why they invented the term "alt-right".
