The most chilling information is found in the NCRI poll of 1,200 adults. A disturbing 48.6 percent of those who self-identify as “left of center” said the murder of Elon Musk is justifiable. That number increased to 55.2 percent for President Trump. When asked if “destroying Tesla dealerships is partially acceptable,” 57.6 percent of leftists said yes.

“BlueSky was modeled as a safe alternative to Twitter for the left, but what it’s become is an extremist platform,” Finkelstein explained.

    Why are you here on this eXtREmISt pLaTfOrM (ie. not X) then?

    Maybe the results of the poll speak to a lot of people being able to see the imminent danger to the actual lives of BILLIONS (of people, not the money you crave). Money too though, but trillions not billions in the American Global Depression.

    But go ahead, blame BlueSky for causing the sentiment. Should others blame X and FB for your approval of fascism (and racism, sexism, anti-science, anti-health, religion and state, inequality…)? Nope. It’s hate and stupidity. Greed and ignorance.

    You were fucking taught about Nazis. Don’t be so fucking surprised that others got the message instead of falling in love.

    How would the founding fathers vote in the poll? The authors of the second amendment?

    Nazis.

      I don’t think BlueSky or any sort of platform creates the sentiment. I think it comes from something else that already exists, right. Whatever that may be.

      I am also here because it’s freer than X - I can criticize Israel as much as I want. Plus I do not want to be in an echo chamber. I get a lot out of the statements that people on the left make.

      You were fucking taught about Nazis. Don’t be so fucking surprised that others got the message instead of falling in love.

      See, this is where you are totally jumping the shark.
