Start counting, cause you've NEVER proven me wrong. Esp NOT with your childish BANKRUPT responses.

Keep in mind that the majority of people who are reading/loving Hitler's screed are muslims. Mein Kampf was never banned in the ME and has always been popular there. 

Hitler is old news, anyways. There's a new breed of hate-mongers who are just as bad:

 

Which is why it's a good idea to be implementing a Muslim ban from the middle east

We're actually supposed to be pretending that muslims are better people than we are.

Really? What if a user here is a serial killer that rapes little children and makes monkeys smoke cigarettes around babies in a restaurant at the hospital? What does that make you a serial killer that rapes little children and makes monkeys smoke cigarettes around babies in a restaurant at the hospital sympathizer?

It would make me choose not to support the platforming of such a person. They are free to say whatever bike things they want, but no one is obligated to give them a megaphone. 

But again, you're being willfully naive here. The problem isn't one random person, but the tenor of the platform. As Musk allows more and more creeps to post their creepy shit, decent people won't want to be around them. User numbers drop (already a problem for advertising) and the audience that remains becomes less and less desirable. 

I'm not saying anything new, challenging or controversial here. This is basic, basic stuff. And if politics weren't involved you wouldn't be pretending to not understand.

Wow. So you think they advertise just to sponsor X and they have nothing to sell? Let me ask you something. Have you ever heard of a business giving another business money and expecting nothing in return? Have you ever heard of a business that doesn't sell something? It's like all you want to do is contradict me so you take the most asinine position you can just to be contradictory.

Do you not understand the difference between selling "stuff" and other things like SERVICES? LMAO

Yes, quite. Brand is not about selling "stuff." It's about positioning and perception in the marketplace--in the hopes that that status leads to finding customers/clients and, more importantly, the right kind of customers. 

Believe me, every time some a-hole gets perp-walked in TV in a sleeveless t-shirt the manufacturer doesn't clap his hands about the great publicity for the "wife beater" line. Nobody wants their brand associated with creeps. Well, except for the MyPillow fool.

Depending on the metric.. X has either declined or stayed mostly constant. is it solely due to musk and the items currently discussed in this thread? I would think so but can't prove that. The existence of similar platforms does not help their cause. 

[Nationalist]

Lol...all the Libbies are up in arms because Musk has the personal fortitude to allow free speach on "X".

Only a Libbie would be so upset.
