An illustration of one of the most insidious aspects of twitter

Rabbi Shmuley Boteach Reports Antisemitic Encounters in Iceland 1 day ago · Other · 15K posts
and of course, this is Rumpledforeskin himself with all his holiday clips from Iceland of him winding people up then accusing them of being anti-semitic. The comments are almost 100% condemning him but that doesn't stop Musk from framing it in the most positive way to him (i.e. RF reports anti-semitism, which most definitely was present and not at all imagined.)
They do this all the time in their "Trending/News, etc." top menu. Something that clearly shows an IDF solider murdering someone is framed as "Video sparks debate about potential war crimes" when there is no debate at all, other than from hasbara whores.
You can see why they do it. For people who do the social media equivalent of "not reading past the headline" the top menu is the message.
Twitter really is a sewer. You see some wild racist shit in most threads but if you actually search for racist things (try "chimping out" or any of the well known racial slurs) you discover absolutely disgusting racism that you would think wouldn't be tolerated, and of course the organisation pretends it isn't but it's rife.
The corporate media are complicit in the Gaza genocide. Never forget what they did. Never forgive them for it.
I gave up Twitter for Lent (not a bit religious, just find it easy to take a break from things when there are defined start & end dates). I haven't gone back.
I love Twitter for the immediacy, the many good (decent, well informed, in the know) people you find there, and the range of opinion and discussion. But the cruel ugly views expressed there are soul destroying. It breaks my heart that people can be so dismissive of their fellow human beings. Plus for me, it is a massive time waster. I can't help but go down the spiral of comments.
I was worried that giving it up would put me out of the loop but to be honest, I'm out of the loop anyway. Not doing Twitter gives me more time to read articles, check out other sites, etc.
I didn't go to BlueSky out of concern that it would be an echo chamber of another sort.
Don't think Rabbi Dildo is doing the cause much good (nm)
He is such a pathetic, perma-victim lying twat. His grift is transparently dishonest that even if you accept that part of the zionazi aim is to create the fear of anti-semitism he just has to be counter-productive right now. Long may it continue and I hope he runs into some head the ball that won't put up with his shit for a second before smashing him into next week.
