      It’s probably from a redditor who probably is white and male. Y’know, self-deprecating humor is pretty common among redditors just like it is here.

          This isn’t a Twitter screenshot, it’s a Facebook one. Note the globe icon, that means a public post on Facebook. He’s also a niche microcelebrity, so the verification kinda makes sense?

          It seems he’s stopped posting on Twitter after 2024, having 70k posts total - so he must’ve quit cold turkey. No blue check on his Twitter profile.

          There’s also this tweet from him in 2017. I do not think this man is a nazi, or even nazi-adjacent.

            I never said anything about nazis.

            I only know blue check marks from twitter. There’s really not much difference between the two though.

              …Why is a blue check mark on Twitter bad if not for the fact that paying for it supports a nazi platform? I’m not sure I follow your logic.

              The Meta one isn’t paid, it’s just something you’re given if they can verify you’re who you say you are.

                Mark Zuckerberg isn’t that much different from Elon Musk as far as politics go.

                If you want to be verified, you should just have a personal website that you publicly direct people to. Using someone else’s social media website as your primary soap box has always been madness.

        just feels wrong

        like it’s making stereotypes feel normal and creating xenophobia or something

        when done humorously, it’s fine, but here it just seems serious

          But it is done humorously, is that not an obvious joke?

          Maybe not the funniest joke ever, but definitely not something someone’s saying seriously.
